No one is infallible, no matter what degree of awakening they have embodied, so I strongly encourage you to think for yourself, find out for yourself, and always, always trust your intuition. (This advice can save you a lot of pain on your journey!) Once you’ve done some dabbling here and there (this might involve watching youtube videos, readings books, attending workshops, etc.), it’s time to slow down and commit to something. Don’t worry if you discover later down the road that the path you’re on is not for you, you can always change route. What’s important is that you slow down and commit to something, to begin with – this is the only way to extract the nutrients, deep essential truths, and embodied wisdom that contributes to your awakening.For centuries indigenous people throughout the world have known that to fully explore the depths of theSoul and reunite with Spirit we must go on a spiritual journey into the unknown lands within ourselves. To end or escape this cycle of rebirths, one must achieve salvation (Moksha). Those who are saints or those whose ashes after the last rites are scattered in the holy waters of Ganga can only achieve this state. For others, fate will lead to reincarnation. Jumping from practice to practice can be useful at the beginning (to become familiar with the territory). But if we get into the addictive habit of finding the “next and best” spiritual practice, tool, workshop, etc., we are doing ourselves a great disservice. We are not only approaching spirituality with a materialistic mindset, but we’re also avoiding the fundamental purpose of the spiritual path: to discover our True Nature.

Wherever you are, Death will find you out, even if you are in towers built up strong and high! “(4:78) In the journey ahead we’ll draw on Psalm 23’s progression of renewing metaphors and insights to highlight the CHRIST stages of emotional and spiritual growth. You’ll enjoy green pastures of grace and be guided in the Shepherd’s good path. You’ll find comfort and encouragement in the dark valley. You’ll receive a new anointing of the Spirit for how you can serve God. In the end your soul will sing with David, My cup overflows. ... I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever (vv. 5–6). This is all narrated in the following sound hadith of the prophet (saw): “When the believer is about to depart from this world and go forward into the Next World, angels with faces as bright as the sun descend from the heavens and sit around him in throngs stretching as far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits at his head and says, “Good soul, come out to forgiveness and pleasure from Allah!” Then his soul emerges like a drop of water flows from a water-skin and the angel takes hold of it. When he has grasped it, the other angels do not leave it in his hand even for the twinkling of an eye. They take it and place it in a perfumed shroud and fragrance issues from it like the sweetest scent of musk found on the face of the earth.’

The middle world is responsible for our ego development, and yet many people on the spiritual path ignore this vital element of inner growth.

Each person will then receive their book that contains each and every thing they have done from the time of birth till death. This book includes activites, appearance and intention. Such a book could be similar to videotape which records all these three paramaters. It is not unfathomable to think about this in a time in which we have CDRoms whose glinting thin surface contains encyclopedias full of information. The Companions heard the food that was being eaten glorifying Allah. That was because the Companions had a transparency of heart that does not now exist among us. All these things are part of our world and yet we are in complete ignorance of them. It is not too much of an extrapolation to extend this to our being unaware of the things of the Next World. There are a lot of different views by people belonging to different faiths and by people believing in scientific theories. In our country, Hinduism is one of the oldest and the largest population, comprising 80% of the population of India. According to the Hindu religion, the human soul is immortal and never dies. After the death of a human, the soul(atman) is reborn in a different body through reincarnation. It is the good and the offensive actions (Karma) that determine the fate of the soul.
