Hi Folks !
How's the new year ?!
We are going to touch on an old topic today.
Someone lost a near relative and she and I exchanged many messages.
I thought it would be good to reproduce the questions and give the answers in more details.
When does the spirit leave the world?
We are technically declared dead when the spirit or life leaves the body.
The spirit or soul or consciousness - call it what you will, then has to go to the other dimension, to the level which it has earned based on its behaviour while it was living on earth.
After coming out of the body, it may instantly see the souls of dear relatives or friends who have come to receive it and happily go with them.
Many do not see immediately because they are not evolved enough, but may after a while.
The spirit may get a bit scared and a lot confused to find itself quite completely alive though without the body, which may be lying nearby or a few feet below.
Some spirits do not want to leave until they are convinced they can not go back.
Some until the cremation or funeral is over.
Others until their belongings are distributed to check if their wishes are being followed.
It really depends on the evolution of the soul.
An evolved soul is one which has tried to come out of the trappings of craving and aversion, has meditated to get rid of anger, jealousy, pain, hurt, attachment and do not look back after leaving the body.
In fact, they have detached even before they leave it.
So, exactly when a spirit leaves the world is determined by its own choice and evolution.
Would she be with loved ones who are alive?
What do you mean by alive that side?
Does it mean loved ones or relatives who have not been reborn yet?
I am bunching these questions together.
She will be with loved ones who have died and having died before her, are already on the other side, alive and healed and happy.
Yes, it usually means relatives who are not reborn as yet, but there could be those who have been with us right from the beginning but were not there in the just-completed-life.
If I die at 60, my soul, once it comes out of my body, is not going to be 60 years old with memories of only that life which I have just finished.
It is going to remember all the previous lifetimes, of minerals, trees and fruits and vegetables, birds, animals and fish and the human lives too.
How long will she be there?
It depends completely on her attachment to this earth's life, her loved ones she has left behind and also on the choices she has earned the right to make.
As humans, in the first few scores or hundreds of lifetimes, the uppermost emotion is overwhelming fear, followed by craving for money, sex and then, the lust for power and enforcing one's will.
These are our stages of evolution and we collect a lot of good and bad karmic debts as we live out these lifetimes .
When we react without thinking, hurt or wound or kill physically, mentally or emotionally, we have to pay for it and make amends.
Hence, we have to take birth again and again with the same set of people until both they and we clear these debts.
Sometimes, it can be love, affection, pity, kindness, protectiveness too, which bring us back.
Somewhere along the way, we learn to focus more and more on ' Who am I? ' and begin the inward journey through deeper meditations and silence of the mind.
When we are still evolving, are in the lower three levels of consciousness, we take rebirth quickly, in just a few years.
On the other hand, if we are evolved enough, we may also decide to stay there longer, continue studying or learning or meditating there until the right conditions come along to rake rebirth.
Does the soul need to be departed from the earth by doing the pujas, specially the 13th day one ?
The Pujas, prayers and rituals of every religion are mainly for those who are living.
If she has been a very religious person who followed all the customs with complete belief, she may stay to watch, but it will not keep her stranded if something is not done accurately.
These things may not really matter as there are her loved ones who she never expected to meet who are with her and she may really want to explore this place which feels so much more like home than the one she left behind on earth.
What will take for her to be reborn?
It would be her choice depending on where she is on the ladder of evolution - how much good karma she has to her credit which lets her choose.
Here, I am talking of being able to choose loving parents and siblings, supportive spouse, caring, loving children, a career of choice, a hobby, whatever.
If we have been nasty, hurt by word or deeds - or done worse, we will have limited choice and must go back to make amends in difficult lifetimes.
Our lives are much more intelligently designed than we give it credit for.
We really need to respect it more.
I am learning to.
You should too.
Until next time, take care -
