After all they say the afterlife is supreme bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Ganesh It is not as if after many many births we automatically get released from this condition. we are traped here by maya due to our desires. As long as we have desires and envy in us there is no chance for libration. the release is not a form of after life, but it is our original state and that is full of bliss.

Jai Shree Krishna Thank You for your reply. Is this bliss eternal of all eternity when it comes? Are we aware? To me the afterlife is eternal happiness and bliss this is why I bring it up. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I will try to reply to this a little later. There are so many threads, and not much time, so I usually pick a few each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXT 71 vihaya kaman yah sarvan pumams carati nihsprhah nirmamo nirahankarah sa santim adhigacchati One who abandons all desires and becomes free from longing and the feeling of 'I' and 'my' attains peace. (2.71) esa brahmi sthitih partha nainam prapya vimuhyati sthitvasyam anta-kale 'pi brahma-nirvanam rcchati O Arjuna, this is the Braahmee or superconscious state. Attaining this (state), one is no longer deluded. Gaining this state, even at the end of one's life, a person attains brahma-nirvanam (2.72) Chapter 15. TEXT 5 nirmana-moha jita-sanga-dosa adhyatma-nitya vinivrtta-kamah dvandvair vimuktah sukha-duhkha-samjnair gacchanty amudhah padam avyayam tat Those who are free from pride and delusion, who have conquered the evil of attachment, who are constantly dwelling in the Supreme Self with all Kaama completely stilled, who are free from the dualities known as pleasure and pain; such undeluded persons reach the eternal goal. (15.05) prapancopasarnam, santam, sivam-advaitam, caturtham manyante, sa atma sa vijneyah. the coming to rest of all relative existence; utterly quiet; peaceful; blissful; without a second: this is the Atman, the Self; this is to be realised.
