Query: Go to Heaven...
Kaivalya
Jnani:
Everybody wants to go to heaven because the religious leaders of today
and the yester era have imbibed in us that kingdom of God lies in heaven. Had Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ or prophet Mohammed been alive today and they were asked, "whether kingdom of God lies in heaven"...
all would have replied in the negative. Kingdom of Heaven has no relation with kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth
in Hinduism).
What if we were told by enlightened souls that heaven lies in the core of
sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. Heaven is not a place for enjoyment. Our soul
atman within our body rests in heaven if it does not get matching parents on Mother Earth (provided the
residual balance of karma is positive).
A negative balance of karma earns a place in hell. One may say, "Why
would religious leaders tell us the wrong thing". The simple reason is that not only for earning their
livelihood from the community... they have a deep-rooted desire to keep control on the masses by projecting
things unnatural and non-existent, yet to their liking!
People blindly follow the religious leaders without any logic or rhyme
and in the process they never get to know the real truth behind the fallacies. Ask any enlightened soul
whether anything like enjoyment is possible in heaven... each one of them would say no! Enlightened souls
have reached the end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! They are the knower of
truth.
Why not follow the teachings of enlightened masters instead of blindly
following the wrong paths of religion.
We also know that in bodily form one can never reach heaven. Why be afraid of death which is immanent and part of
cosmic life. Why question the domain of God? Death of a body is just the start of a new manifestation for our soul
atman within. Death is part of the process of evolution. Unless something dies... nothing would be born! For the
cosmic life cycle to continue... birth and death are part of the cosmic game.
Kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism) is the abode of God Almighty.
This is where all enlightened souls after gaining salvation (moksha) rest in bliss forever... this is a place
of no return!
