Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 No doubt, many men follow many paths desiring salvation. Every path end abruptly with hi death. Rebirth being a result of karma, the new surroundings in the next incarnation cannot be controlled by him. One is bound to forget the past desires, goals and even the practices thereto. The dawn of desire for Moksha once again is only a possibility, when the good and positive sanskaras of the previous birth weakly linger on in the inner recesses of consciousness amidst the din and confusion of material living. Such a mind sanskaara may however, survive birth after birth as a weaker voice in the consciousness never reaching its fulfilment in the absence of its exclusive presence. Intense desire for moksha itself is a result of traversing very slow and circuitous path, life after life in nature, every time fraught with diversions and itfalls. It is, therefore, necessary that oncec there is a desire, it should be seen that such a desire is not thwarted by inevitable death only to be forgotten, awaiting again a chance revival. Death, therefore, is the most undesirable obstacle in the continuity of the path of moksha. But whose continuity ? The individual who desires the moksha should necessarily continue to exist. The Soul is not always the same body, same consciousness, same intelligence in each birth. The soul is different individual in this sense every time it is reborn. Death is an enemy to the continuous survival of such individual and his desire and therefore, should be conquered. What is conquering death anyway ?? Human beings are known as mortals. Ordinarily, corporeal death is unconquerable. Death is the consequence of man's identifying himself with his body in the deep belief and trust that he is living and that he is alive only while in his body; therefore, resulting in belief in death. Death is an inevitable ebvent whoses distance is limited and proximity unlimited. The experience of death is not even intellectually known to men since one who has experienced it never came back to describe his experience to others. There are many things which can not be described, but experienced by us. God and Death are two such things. There are cases of yogis experiencing a semblance of dath by what is commonly described as "Out of body" experience (OBE). Recently Bhagwan Ramana experienced it. Shirdi sai baba left his body for three days and returned into. There are many sadhakas too, who have felt this OBE alongwith other experiences of sadhna. Such experiences, give ample description about the phenomenon of Death. Death is nothing but an Out of Body experience, in which the silver chord between the astral body and physical body is snapped and the astral body cannot return to his physical body, unlike normal OBE.
