In conclusion, it is so important to know that Death itself is not enough to reunite the Soul with God. It is only when all desires have been fulfilled that the Soul is deemed eligible for the ultimate goal of ALL life: To merge back into the Divine!
The following extract from “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Sri Paramahansa will give an insight into this aspect of the journey of the Soul…
A Soul, being invisible by nature, can be distinguished only by the presence of its body or bodies. The mere presence of a body signifies that its existence is made possible by unfulfilled desires.
So long as the soul of man is encased in one, two or three body containers, sealed tightly with the corks of ignorance and desires, he cannot merge with the sea of Spirit. When the gross physical receptacle is destroyed by the hammer of death, the other two coverings – astral and causal – still remain to prevent the soul from consciously joining the Omnipresent Life.
When desirelessness is attained through wisdom, its power disintegrates the two remaining vessels. The tiny human soul emerges, free at last; it is one with the Measureless Amplitude.
