In short, on the basis of this predetermined life agreement, the soul comes on this earth and tries to learn what it has to learn; gains experience and after that is done in one lifetime or numerous lifetimes; the soul goes back to the spiritual world. The question is what happens after a soul has learned and gained all the experience. What happens after a soul has neutralized the karmic load. All the desires of the soul are fulfilled. Now there is nothing to learn, there is no desire, no karmic debt to repay. Now soul is experiencing the great nothingness. Different souls reach this state in different number of births depending upon their individual journey. When a soul reaches this great nothingness, there is no desire, no hope and no memory. Now let me explain this stage in a little more detail. There is no desire means that in this great nothingness, nothing is left to achieve and has nothing is desirable. There is absence of any desire. All the desires have been fulfilled. As all the desires have been fulfilled there is no desire left. Another great characteristic of this stage of nothingness is that there is no hope. There is total absence of any hope as everything becomes nothing and when there is nothing how can there be any future. As future does not exist how it can be true. When soul realizes that that there is nothing, not even time, it perceives the great nothingness. This is different than the stage of hopelessness where all possible hope is destroyed. During the stage of hopelessness the soul when in body gives up any expectation of remedy or improvement with regard to his situation . And when circumstances change he may again become hopeful.
