What happens after death ?

Most of these Sadhus and Monks, say and describe things beyond our comprehension, but Sri Sri in this description has been a good guide.
Yes-we all get scared of unknown - but once you have a guide such as Sri Sri, it becomes easy to understand. Yes-we mortals still fear the unknown, but with much lesser effect.
What happens after death?

Q: What happens after death?
Sri Sri :You will just see the body out there. Once you come out of the body, you will see your whole life flashing like a movie in a few minutes.

These will be the two questions that will stand.
1. How much love you gave? Not how much love you received, and
2. How much knowledge you gained?

This question will come and you will say, ‘I will do better next time’, and that is it. Then there is peace.
What happens after death is the mind gets freed from the body, the spirit. The mind has memory and intelligence, so these two things become like a balloon. The karma, the deepest impressions form a balloon.It is like in sleep .
Death is nothing but a long sleep. Before going to sleep, you review what all work you have to do the next day,see the last thought that you get, You say, ‘This all as to be done tomorrow. Okay, I will do it’, and then you go to bed, And as soon as you wake up, see what is the first thought that comes. Have you noticed? It will variably be the same though.
Isn’t it! Same thing happens after death.

Then that intention of what you will do in the next life will bring the next body and the next birth to us. Then we choose our parents, the place, and everything else and then we come to this world!

So the physical body decays and the pranic body with all the impressions forms a balloon and leaves the body and hangs around.
Don’t imagine a balloon hanging around! It is a light; an energy.

I will give you the best example. In a television station, they conduct a program and then they transmit it through the dish and the program remains in the atmosphere – it is the same way.

When you send an email from the computer, you type all the letters and then you press the send button. What happens? It goes into the space. Does your email remain in the space till it is downloaded? Even after several days you can download your email. Even one year later or ten years later you can download an email. There is no expiry date, isn’t that so. It is not like those greeting cards which sometimes people send you that expire in 24 hours.

The messages or letters you send don’t hang as letters in the space, it remains in the space as energy.
Like that every soul is a particular frequency and every thumb is different because a thumb is like a particular cell phone chip.
So after death, every individual energy stays, and the impressions it has taken, accordingly to that it experiences those stages there. But then after sometime that soul comes back.

The soul enters the body at three times – this is all a secret. It is called the birth secret and death secret.
So the soul enters at the moment of conception, or it enters in the fifth month, or at the time of birth. So the three sections are there, but there is no way to determine when it enters. The soul also chooses where to be born, the place to come. According to its wish it will just come there.

So if at conception time it comes then what one should do to care for that?
Keep yourself happy. Usually pregnant women are kept very happy in India. Whatever she wants is provided to her.
I would say, don’t watch all these violent movies, and scary songs, and scary things. Generally light flute music would be good because it is soothing. It is good to listen to music, knowledge and wisdom. All these things would be preferable.
Knowledge of death makes you immortal. It’s wrong to even say, “makes you immortal.” The knowledge makes you aware that you are immortal.

Do you see there is a difference? You are already immortal. So nothing to be worried about death!
Have you noticed that something in you is not changing or not ageing? Something in you never dies. We fail to notice it. We are so busy that we take no time to notice or observe the truth that we are.

You might have noticed that when you look at people you feel they have all gotten
older, but you don’t feel you have aged, does anyone feel they have become old? If you are in the normal state of mind, even though you may be eighty-years old, you never feel that you have become old. To others, you may look very old, but deep inside you, you never feel that you are old, because there is something in you that never ages.

"In one minute, death will rob all of what you have. Before death robs you, let go. Wake up and see nothing is yours. It is such freedom, I tell you! Such freedom!"

- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
