Friends! Spiritual scriptures are full of high level knowledge. If they are also spiced up with experience, then the matter becomes something else. It’s important to know that we are all human beings entangled in worldly affairs. Our experience cannot be so powerful that it can independently prove the transcendental facts. Yes, if our experience is like the authentic facts of the scriptures, then our experience can be considered authentic. I will also share my similar little experience at the end of this post.
In the scriptures, the nature of the time of Pralaya has been described as a state of equilibrium. It means that in this, all its three qualities aka gunas remain at the same level. They do not change. It is not necessary that as much as there is Sattva Guna, there is as much Rajoguna and as much Tamoguna. Rather, it means that although there are different quantities of all, but each Guna remains the same at its specific quantity. It does not decrease or increase. For example, if the ratio of Sattva Guna is 1, then it will remain the same. If Tamoguna is 5, then it will remain 5 and if Rajoguna is three, then it will remain three. If all the three Gunas were equal to each other, then there would be no difference in different creations, rather all creations would be exactly the same. Along with this, all humans would also be the same, there would be no difference in them either. Moreover, then all living souls would be the same. But this is not possible, because diversity is seen at every level in the universe. Some souls are pure, who do good in every way. But some souls are also sinful, who do not hesitate at all in causing harm. Of course, due to not having a body, the departed souls cannot intentionally do good or bad, but their positive or negative energy field causes good or bad on its own. Perhaps this is what is called ghostly existence or Pretayoni in the scriptures. Although it means a departed and bodiless soul, but due to not getting a body for a very long time, it is considered a physical existence aka yoni like human existence or manushya yoni. Of course this is a subtle yoni. For example, at the places of many terrible road accidents, accidents keep happening again and again. For this, the evil spirit wandering or not getting body or not getting physical yoni is considered responsible and a temple or idol of Lord Hanuman etc. is established there. It is said that this stops the series of accidents. Perhaps the positive energy generated by the deity neutralizes the negative energy of the evil spirit. Perhaps a very high level of positive energy is called Dev yoni.
Nothing changes by re-creating the universe. Only disturbance is created in the qualities already present in nature. It means that sometimes Satva Guna suddenly increases from its basic level, sometimes Tamo Guna and sometimes Rajo Guna. In this way, the level of every quality keeps changing continuously. In a person who is more active, it keeps changing more quickly. In a person who is less active, it keeps changing at a slower pace. You will think why I have come from nature to man here. In fact, nature has been estimated from man only. No one can directly experience the Samashti i.e. the omnipresent nature. But the birth and death of a man situated in the form of Vyashti i.e. limited nature can definitely be experienced. Yogis have experienced this, on the basis of which Indian philosophy and scriptures have been made.
After death, all the three qualities of a man come to their average level and then do not change. A body is needed to create disturbance in the qualities. That does not happen after death. Sattva Guna increases with the good thoughts of the mind during the lifetime. Rajoguna increases with the increased activity of the mind, and Tamoguna increases in a state like loneliness or depression. All these Gunas remain even after death, but they do not change. It means that a person never dies. We feel that a person is dead because we are entangled in a storm of Gunas. Due to this, we are unable to see the subtle state of the Gunas. It is like, after a dazzling light, even the normal darkness seems pitch dark. Yes, when the storm of Gunas calms down due to Kundalini Yoga, then the possibility of meeting the departed soul increases. Now you will ask how that basic state of Gunas is determined after death. Actually, it is the average of the Gunas of all the previous births of the person. It means that if someone has lived more in Sattva Guna, then the basic Sattva Guna remains more. Because Sattva Guna is formed by virtuous deeds, it means that the account of all his good deeds is also present in it in a subtle form. The person whose average Rajoguna is more, his deeds will be more of entrepreneurship and business etc. More Tamoguna means accumulation of more sinful deeds. It means that all the deeds in the form of Gunas remain in their basic state. It is possible that this system is so efficient that instead of being average, every karma exists separately in the form of different qualities. The scriptures point to this and write that the result of every karma is to be born exactly according to that karma.
Well, in the experience of the holy departed soul, I felt the unchanging and average state of qualities. Meaning that the soul was feeling like a dark sky. But the complete personality of the person whose departed soul it was could be seen in it. Meaning that he did not even seem dead to me, but he seemed more alive than alive. That person was appearing more alive than alive. Strange. Meaning that soul also had the imprint of its previous births. Meaning that it was as the nature in the equilibrium state at the time of Pralaya or doom, in which no disturbance was arising. I have described the experience of this soul in detail in some old posts of this blog. Now you tell me what is the difference between the still water of the ocean and the waves of the same water, nothing? Similarly, there is no difference between the soul in the body and the departed soul. When the departed soul gets a new body due to the combination of qualities and deeds, then the disturbance in its qualities starts again, which we call the beginning of a new creation.
I think that to meet a soul, the soul must also desire to meet and the person must also have enough mental strength to endure that meeting for some crucial moments and to talk to the soul. This seems to be possible only through aggressive Tantric Kundalini Yoga, not through ordinary yoga. Also, since the soul does not have its own body, it cannot have any wish to meet etc. This means that the soul must have that wish in its living state with a body, especially at the time of its death. This is called the last wish. That is why it is given a lot of importance. It is fulfilled and the dying person is promised of it to be fulfilled, so that his soul does not get astrayed due to that wish. These puzzles get solved gradually, not all at once. I too alongwith my family had reached a little late to meet that person in his dying state. He wanted to talk to me, but was unable to speak. Only a little scream came out of his mouth and then he became unconscious again. He could not see. Perhaps he was able to hear and understand something, but was unable to see or speak. Two to three hours later, his soul departed from his body. There is a lot in spirituality. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
