Birth, Life, Death, Cremation and Afterlife

The cycle of time makes every living object finally and precisely and exactly stop at where it started from.

Nothingness or pure soul.

We all start from nothingness to end at nothingness.

Whether it be Akbar the great emperor or Akbar the not-at-all great gardener at Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Whether it be Amitabh the great actor or Amitabh the not-at-all great junior artist in Bollywood.

For a living being the above journey is like moving forward along a circle to reach the starting point after some time when the journey would come to end, and perhaps another would start.

However, for time the above journey is like moving forward along a line. As circles come and go, and living beings are born and die, the march of time goes on, incessantly, always!

So what happens on the circle when you are dead.

Step1 - First you need something to help you reach the right place for cremation.



Step 2 - Then you reach the place for cremation.



Step 3- And then you get cremated, finally. You disappear in the Pancha Tatva or nothingness.



The Pancha Tatva or nothingness is the pure soul and the only and ultimate reality of life.

Life as a living being  is a finite space-time phenomenon which needs to have a full stop.

And death is really good in the sense that it serves as that full stop.

The full stop is like Moksha.

Death is a useful reality that way.

So accept it, welcome it, and embrace it when it comes.

Birth, life, death, cremation and afterlife - they all are really one.

They are one since they are different forms taken by the nothingness or pure soul.

Focus on good deeds or Karma needs to be your sole purpose in life since that is the inherent and true nature of pure soul.

What we do other than that is not important and won't really matter.

In the end only Karma counts.
