Life After Death

Life after Death

The question of whether there is life after death is not the issue of scientific concern, because science only deals with the classification and data analysis that makes sense. While humans have been doing investigations and scientific research, in the modern sense of the term, because only the last few centuries, he has been familiar with the concept of life after death since time immemorial.

Is there life death. if so, what kind of life is? This question lies far beyond the ken of our perception. We do not have eyes with which we can see beyond the limits of earthly life and find out what was behind it. We do not have ears with which we can hear something from beyond the boundaries. We also do not have the means by which we can determine with certainty whether there is life after death. Therefore, the question of whether there is life after death is entirely outside the province of scientific knowledge relating to the classification and interpretation of data that makes sense. Anyone who asserted in the name of science that there is no life after death, therefore, made a statement which is not scientific. Solely on the basis of scientific knowledge, we can not assert that there is life after death or deny it. Until we find a reliable way to acquire knowledge about this issue, the correct scientific attitude would not confirm or deny the possibility of life after death. The question is outside the jurisdiction.

When his body grew weak and he seemed unconscious, the dying man gathered aware of him and really interesting their power, down to the heart. There's nothing more he saw the shape or color without.

He did not see, or smell, or taste. He did not speak, he did not hear. He did not think, he did not know. For all the organs, separated himself from his physical body, united with the subtle body. So the point of his heart, where nerves join, illuminated by the light of the Self, and the light was traveling through the eye, or through the gate of the skull, or through another gap from the body. When he was thus left, left to live, and when life left, all the functions of the vital principle of leaving. Self remains conscious, and conscious, the dying man went to a place to live. Actions of this life, and the impression they left behind, follow him.

As a man acts, so did he become. A man of good deeds becomes good, evil becomes an evil deed. A man becomes pure through pure deeds, impure through impure deeds.

A little reflection will help us to see that the questions about life after death is not merely a philosophical question, but in and closely related to our lives everyday. Even our moral attitudes depends entirely on this question. If someone is the view that this world's life is only life and that there is no any life after that, he must develop a certain type of moral attitude. A radically different attitude and approach would have happened if he believes that life will be followed by another life where one would have to make an account of all one's actions in this world and, that the end of one's fate in the Hereafter will depend on a person's behavior in the life worldly. Let us try to understand this through a simple example. Consider the example of people who lived in Arabia before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad. They are a good pair of gambling, wine, tribal feuds, plundering, and killing. When they do not have a concept of life after death, why not enjoy themselves as they see fit? But once they accept the belief in the One God and the Hereafter, they become more disciplined nation. They gave up their crime, helping one another when requested to do so, and settled all their disputes on the basis of justice and equality. Rejection of life after death also has consequences in this world. When the entire nation denies belief in the afterlife, all kinds of crime and public corruption and organized released at the end of the road to destruction.

Now it is clear that the difference between the approaches and attitudes of both the tourists directly from their view of the nature and end of their journey. Similarly, one's view of life after death has a decisive influence on moral behavior in this world. The direction of each step he took in practical life will depend on whether he treats the life of this world as the first and last stages of life, or whether he has seen in the Hereafter and the consequences of behavior in this world or the next one. He will move in one direction in the first instance and in the opposite direction right in another instance.

As a goldsmith, taking an old gold jewelry, mushrooms into another, newer and more beautiful, so the Self, having given up the body and left him unconscious, taking a form of newer and better, both from the father, or that the sky singer, or that the gods, or other beings, heavenly or earthly.

As a man acts, so did he become. A man of good deeds becomes good, evil becomes an evil deed. A man becomes pure through pure deeds, impure through impure deeds.

A man acting according to his wishes attached. After death he went to the next world bearing in mind the subtle impressions of his deeds, and after reaping the harvest of his deeds there, he returned again to the world of work. So he who has desires continues subject to rebirth.
