Immortality: Myth or Reality?

Immortality: Myth or Reality
“The soul never takes birth and never dies at any time nor does it come into being again when the body is created. The soul is birth less, eternal, imperishable and timeless and is never destroyed when the body is destroyed.” -The Bhagavad Gita 


Is immortality simply a far-fetched concept? Mankind’s feeble attempt at defying and defeating Death? How could all religious texts, all spiritual gurus and all the great ones provide vehement assurance for the concept of immortality if it was nothing more than a pleasant lie to sugar-coat the bitter truth of death? Is there a greater immortality than being remembered for one’s deeds and living on in the memories of others? Is there really a life after death? 

Many have been driven by this strong need to conquer death. It was in the quest to attain immortality that the Chinese king, Qin Shi Huang, took mercury capsules. As fate would have it, these mercury pills resulted in his death instead of gaining him immortality. 
You Don't Really Die when You Die!
The accepted truth is that our physical bodies are mortal, but our souls live on. The soul is deathless, endless and timeless. Death is a part of life but the soul exists beyond the realms of life and death. 

“Death is a science. Do not be attached to your body. Eventually, all that exists will die” -Master Choa Kok Sui 

What Master Choa Kok Sui said, embodies many truths. He refers to death as a science because there is a scientific certainty about death. What has been born, must die. There is no other way about it. Hence, our bodies are not immune to the laws that govern life and death. As the soul is birth less, it is deathless. It is ironical, however, that it is only through our physical death that we can realize our immortality.

Through the Soul-Affirmation prayer, Master Choa Kok Sui helps us realize our true identity: 

“You are not the body. You are not the mind. Neither are you the thoughts nor the emotions. You are the I AM. You are the soul. You are immortal.” 

Once you realize this, you know that truth about your inner self and can therefore strive to achieve oneness with your higher soul. The body is a mere instrument or vehicle which is driven by the soul. A person changes his/her body from one incarnation to the next, just like we change clothes from one day to another. 
The Real You is Indestructible
Master Choa Kok Sui thus emphasized on the immortality of the soul. The soul is indestructible and enjoys certain continuity beyond the confines of time. The essence of a person survives death while the mental, emotional and physical bodies of an individual are all mortal. Soul-realization is actually the key to understanding immortality. One has to realize that the I AM or the Eieh (in Hebrew), also known as the So Ham or Tatwamasi (in Sanskrit) is greater than and separate from one’s thoughts, emotions and actions. Master Choa Kok Sui talks of a universal I AM as well as a micro I AM in every being. What remains after one is devoid of all thoughts, emotions and actions, is what is immortal in a person. 
The soul, therefore, can neither be killed nor drowned, nor slain nor burnt. The soul continues beyond the grip of time and death and goes forth into immortality.

Raja Yoga for Spiritual Oneness

Heaven is not here or there or anywhere. It is within you! This means that heaven is a higher state of consciousness or the gateway to heaven is within you. By meditating on the crown chakra or the blue Pearl, one can experience heaven while still having physical body.   - Master Choa Kok Sui.     In modern  Pranic healing  what we call Meditation on the Blue Pearl or Meditation on the Higher  Soul , was earlier known as Raja Yoga in ancient India. This technique of meditation is very powerful and was revealed only to a very few students in the past. Raja Yoga or Meditation on the Higher Soul is the practice of the concentration on and awareness of the ‘seed of consciousness’ or the ‘blue pearl’.   What is the need of this awareness?  Master Choa Kok Sui has said that awareness helps you to listen to the subtle voice, the whisper of your higher soul. You become aware of your Buddha nature, your soul. Awareness is necessar...

The Simple Law of Karma: What Goes Around Comes Around!

Slowly we realize as much as we work hard to achieve something, somehow we fail or the results are not satisfactory. Something holds us back. So how do we get desired results? How do we increase our earnings? How do we get higher education? How do we build our own house? In other words, how do we get prosperity?

How does it work? Let’s go in to a little detail. What seed would you plant if you want apples? The answer obviously is apple seeds.
