Life After Death...!!

According to spiritual research, a human is comprised of four basic bodies, viz,

• Physical
• Mental
• Causal or intellectual
• Supracausal or subtle ego
  
  
  The following diagram would give us the much better idea of the above said points:
  
  

  

  The four basic bodies of Human.
  
  When a person dies the physical body ceases to exist. However, the rest of his existence or consciousness continues. The existence of the person minus the physical body is known as the subtle body (linga deha) and it comprises of the mental, causal (intellect) and supracausal (subtle ego) bodies. This subtle body then goes to one of the 13 subtle planes of existence other than the Earth plane.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Spiritual Relationships & Responsibilities:

  
  

  

  Ring on Bible

  Through the experience of soul-consciousness others are recognized as spiritual beings and a feeling of brotherhood grows. By transcending the divisions of colour, sex and religion, relationships become more smooth and rewarding. The exchange of respect and spiritual love becomes the basis of interaction. The decision to deal with others’ good qualities means there is no longer the give and take of sorrow, rather an emphasis on acceptance and tolerance.
  Spirituality is not an escape from life’s responsibilities. You have a responsibility to your immediate relationships—family, colleagues and friends—and it is in those relationships that your ability to apply what you are learning spiritually will also be tested and strengthened.

  Suicide and the after life:

  
  

  
  
  

      Life on the Earth plane of existence is precious and is given to us primarily for spiritual growth.                                                                                                                 

  
  

  
  
  

     When we kill others we create a kārmicgive and take account with them. However by committing suicide, we squander away the opportunity for spiritual growth and hence incur the heaviest sin. 

  
  

  
  
  

     The consequences are that a person committing suicide goes to the Narak part of the 7th plane of existence of Hell for a period of 60,000 Earth years, in his life after death. 

  
  

  
  
  

     It is a place that is without any light; something like solitary confinement in a prison. 

  
  

  
  
  

     As there is nobody in that Narak region who can give advice about spiritual practice, the subtle body remains in the darkness of spiritual ignorance.

    Once we go to the lower planes of existence such as the Nether plane of existence or other planes of existence of Hell, we stay there and experience severe unhappiness for centuries until we completely pay for our demerits (sins) by suffering the intense punishments meted there and get a chance to be reincarnated on Earth.

Note:

I have just highlighted some points which i felt were important, and have tried to put them in short here.
