Point of Living
(if death awaits all in the end - life after death)

Kaivalya Jnani:
There is more to life than simply living! Life truly is not in the hands of human beings! We do not get born on our own! Neither death comes to us by our wishing! Life and death are simply attributes of our soul atman within! It is our soul atman that is the governor and controller of our body and not vice versa. It is not within the capability of the body to manifest a soul atman!

Every soul atman manifests a body to work out its karma... eradicate the impurities within! Similar as the metal within the ore cannot separate on its own... the soul atman also requires a body to remove the dross within. The crux of life lay in the hands of our soul atman within which manifests body after another until it reaches the end of cosmic life!

In its lifetime every soul atman manifests a maximum of 8.4 million bodies that requires approximately 96.4 million earthly years! Initially the soul atman manifests the form of an amoeba (single cell formation)... further evolves into multi-cell formation, then insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of a human being.

Only as a human being does the soul atman within regain its original pristine pure form! Only as a human being the soul atman within reaches the 8.4 million manifestation when the human form gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)! The form of a human being is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle.

Like individual parts of a puzzle... every single soul atman plays its role in the cosmic life cycle! No two soul atmans are ever same. Every soul atman is God Almighty in minuscule form... the attributes of God Almighty and individual soul atman remaining the same! If a single soul atman is a grain of sand... the whole mound Almighty God!

Some people try shortening life span by committing suicide... is it the end of all! The soul atman within manifests another body but at a lower karmic level! What fun shortening the life span if we get negative marks for wrong indulgences like suicide etc? If we were manifesting the human body at karmic level of 7.306600, it is possible the next manifestation occurs at 7.300600!

Life must always be lived to the fullest extent day by day. We have only one life to live... who knows what we shall be in the next manifestation! No doubt human beings are but a pawn in the hands of our soul atman... still; we need to abide by the wishes of our master and controller... our soul atman within!

The power of discrimination available to human beings makes us unique in the whole cosmos. Why fritter away precious moments and spoil the fun! The earlier our soul atman within liberates forever from the cycle of birth and death... the better! This is the only way to gain entry to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism).
