dissolving into nothingness. Rather, the soul completes its adventure as a
unique individual, like a sparkling star in the night sky, a completely realised
Self.
I would hope you understand that the goal of soul evolution is not to
escape from the wretched physical plane, this “vale of tears”, as many
would teach. The end of reincarnation is not some sort of reward for good
Karma. Human existence is not a prison, or a wheel of torment and torture
from which only the most worthy gain liberation.
We incarnate because we want to and because we choose to. We know
that, unless we’ve had the good fortune to have explored our soul’s prior
existences and its time between lives with such avenues as Past Life
Regression, we will probably spend each lifetime with no conscious
memory of who we are. We will not remember our eternal Home and we
will thus unfortunately suffer the illusion of separation and isolation. Indeed,
this should inspire us to become more conscious and aware.
Completion and true consciousness
occurs when it matters not whether
you are incarnate or discarnate. You
gain the capacity to see through the
illusions and you always feel “at
Home”.
Ramana Maharshi, often
acknowledged as one of the most
outstanding Hindu gurus of modern
times, is widely regarded as an
excellent example of someone in their last lifetime reaching the end of the
cycle of reincarnation. Toward the end of his life, some of his students
begged him not to die, not to leave them. His answer was: “But where
could I possibly go?” He knew that both he and everybody else are already
Home, and always will be, having never really left it.
But Wait! There’s More!!
