Whether here upon earth or in the realms beyond the soul remains bound to the sheaths or shroud of Ignorance in which it is wrapped. These sheaths are the physical body, the vital and the mental bodies. Though the physical body is shed here, the soul is carried in these subtle sheaths. These sheaths may be constituted of good and happy vibrations in which case it is drawn and attracted towards happier worlds. Or if these sheaths carry the impact of darkness then the journey is a rough and bumpy ride. But this is for a few weeks after which the soul sheds these sheaths and is then escorted to the its native divine home. There it rests awhile, assimilates its earthly experiences and prepares the road map for the future.
This of course is the general rule. There are many variations though especially in the length of time and the degree of darkness and brightness through which it may move based on its actions or rather the motives and states of consciousness that it nurtured and the quality of inner life it built.
The Mother, during her sojourn in Algeria built a safer and easier passage through which those who have faith of some kind in the Divine (in any form) can pass through smoothly. I suppose this is the experience that many going through Near Death describe. But for those who have faith in Sri Aurobindo and the Mother or are connected to them through their teachings or stay in inner remembrance come straight to Sri Aurobindo’s place in the subtle physical which She has described number of times and others have experienced.
As far as you are concerned you will be completely escorted by Her angels and reach safely in Her lap.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
