Significance of Life
(significance of existence after death - significance of our existence if after death we are put in heaven or hell)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Our present life... is it in any way related to heaven or hell? Not in the least. Why?

Our present body has been manifested by our soul atman within our heart. It is the true owner of the body. Whatever karma is performed by the body... the fruits of the karma always belong to our soul atman within.

Whenever matching parents are available on Mother Earth... a soul manifests a body and a human being is born. If matching parents are not available... this soul atman waits either in heaven or hell. It is granted heaven if the residual balance of karma is positive and hell if negative.

In the circumstances... the body... human beings... have they any concern with heaven or hell whatsoever. Heaven and hell are dwelling places for our soul atman within. Every human being is simply supposed to play his part in the cosmic system of things. We simply need to do our karma with the hope that the next manifestation would be better than the present.

It is only when one reaches the 8.4 millionth manifestation... do we gain enlightenment and finally salvation.

A soul manifests a body to cleanse itself of the impurities contained within. The desires and wishes of a human being have absolutely no role to play. It is the soul atman within which is on its cosmic journey. It desires liberation from the cycle of birth and death at the earliest. As a human being we are simply supposed to abide by the dictates of our soul atman.

And what do we think heaven and hell are. Heaven exists in the centre of the sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. The question of getting bored... will it ever arise? Our soul atman is pure energy. We all know that bodily one can never go to heaven. Our atman soul resides in the core of the sun to avoid gaining impurities further.

Why brood over the happenings in heaven or hell... we would ruin our present! The journey of life as a human being is the most pleasant sojourn in the cosmic life cycle of every soul atman. Only as a human being shall a soul atman liberate forever.
