AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am facing a contradiction in my mind regarding the fate of the soul who are at an advanced stage of spiritual life but not reached the highest and have to discard the physical body in a violent manner like the last plane crash . Will they have to halt at the subtle – physical and vital domain for a longer period, because at the moment of death the psychic being can not take any decision.  In this case moment of death must have passed in fear. I have purchased the book Death, dying and beyond written by you and started reading it. It is really wonderful book. 

Sadhaks that are really advanced have no fear, absolutely no fear. They see and find the Divine everywhere and neither life nor death carries any fear for them. Is this not the teaching of the Gita as well that he who remembers the Lord, even though he fall on the battlefield (which implies necessarily a sudden violent death) comes straight to the Divine and finds liberation in the Lord. The contradiction is in being an ‘advanced sadhak’ and yet having fear. The sign of being developed is a complete faith and surrender. Such a person is usually protected by the Divine and if, for some reason he leaves his body suddenly it is the Divine who takes care of everything since he has truly surrendered himself to the Lord. He goes straight to Him and when his soul is ready the Divine sends him to the world to complete his remaining journey. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
