Life – A Journey

The penned post is my thoughts and view on life. This visualization and understanding came up after reading ‘Bhagavad Purana’ and ‘Garuda Purana’.

Life and Death are two major junctions of a journey. The soul travels towards the ultimate destination. This journey of soul is a cosmic journey, which when viewed in context of materialistic destinations (life and death), is a journey of a physical body. Physical body is formed of five elements of nature, along with wish, desire and aspirations.

In the journey towards the ultimate destination the soul passes through various lessons. One can term these lessons as purification process. A purified soul can only get place in the ultimate destination.

The soul travels alone on this journey but physical body builds bonds. In one journey from life to death the physical body builds such bonds. On reaching the destination of death the physical body casts out physical bonds but the cosmic body remembers the karmic bonds. Even we can say with cosmic body karmic bonds follow the soul in the journey. Physical body is unaware of such karmic bonds. From time to time cosmic body passes messages of karmic bonds to the physical body.

If I say the cosmic body is your intuition or sub conscious self then shouldn’t I be overstating.
