Q: What
happens to a soul when it leaves a physical body?
A: There are various
illustrations about this phenomenon in our ancient spiritual
scriptures. Depending upon one’s karma, the soul goes to heaven or
hell (righteous path or elsewhere).
Q: Do
those who leave the physical body take birth again?
A: Those
who have latent desires or worldly and material wishes will again take
birth and assume a physical body.
Q: Do
those souls take birth immediately? If not, how much time elapses
before their re-birth?
A: There is
no fixed rule in this regard. Some souls immediately take birth and
assume a physical body while others take birth after some time.
Q: Is it
possible to contact such souls? Is it advisable?
A: Yes. It
is definitely possible to contact such souls. If one tries and does
contact ordinary and pleasure loving souls, it does not serve any
purpose. If the contact is with some extraordinary saint or sages,
then it is useful for marching forward on the path of divinity.
Q: Does this mean that there is no
benefit by contacting ordinary souls?
A: Even if there is a
benefit in contacting such souls, the advantage is not noteworthy. One
gains nothing by having contact with such souls. If one can
communicate with other souls, why not attempt to contact the
extraordinary and divine souls?
Q: Can such souls provide guidance to
spiritual aspirant? If yes, how?
A: If we
wish, they can direct us. They can even give us mantra-diksha
(bless us with a holy name to recite). They can give their
divya-darshan (appear before an aspirant in divine form). They can
provide their valuable guidance to solve any problem that an aspirant
may face on his journey towards the divine.
Q: Have you met anyone who have such
experiences?
A: Why merely ask about
it? Attempt to have such an experience yourself. Pray for their grace.
You will also be blessed by the most extraordinary souls. |
