Where people will go after death…

Everything that has a birth has to die. That’s a Rule of nature which holds good for all things. But we forget about this death all our life. Only when we get close to it or when we see a death close to us, jus a thought crosses in our mind that one day even we have to pass through that junction and experience death.

The existence of this earth depends on only one question. Where people will go after death?

If someday someone dead comes back (this never happened and don’t think it will happen in future either) and tells this whole world, what exactly happens after death? Where exactly people will go after death? What happens to soul when it leaves this body?

Then that will be the end of human civilization. If humans realize that life after death is good and that is better than life in earth, then everyone will start committing suicide to make sure that they go to the other world soon. But if we have so called hell on other side then everyone will be ready to kill each other to make sure that they don’t die. So for us to survive on this earth, its better not to know the answer for that question.

I live today because I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die because I don’t know what happens after death. If I know what is death then I might think the other way.

Religion and spiritualism came into existence to fill the gap left by science. After All Science can’t explain everything.

There are so many religions came into existence all these years from the time of ancient civilizations. There are so many religions with so many gods.. Each religion tried to define death in their own way based on there description of God. In majority of religion they have a concept of heaven and hell. So now at least we know that we have two options after death. Either we go to a good place or a bad place.

I believe that if there is a God then there is only one god and he is unique. There can’t be two kings in a kingdom. But each religion on earth preaches that there is only one god and he belongs to corresponding religion. So all these gods from religions are gods created by human beings. We believe that god created human beings. But I think the other way is true. Human beings created god. So no religion can show me the real god.

Even after seeing deaths of our loved ones we live as though we are never going to die. This attitude among humans has made our civilization to progress so much. Today what we have so called civilization is something which is evolved from thousands of years of experimentation and discovery from people who lived before us.

People live as though there is no death; People die as though they never lived.

There was a so called buddhijeevi( I don’t know the right word in English ) in Karnataka. All his life he called himself a secular and never made a mistake of visiting any place of worship. He used to give long speeches to denounce god and become secular. At his time of death he prayed God. “Oh My God, if there is a God, save my soul, if there is soul”.

That’s what death can do to people. All our principles and policies holds good when we know that we will live for at least one more day. But in front of death we are nothing but one more creature that is going to enter a door from where no one returns.

Never there was a time in past when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kinsmen. Never in future we cease to be – Lord Krishna
