WILL WE GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL?
Heaven (or) Hell
Isn’t this question on top of our mind many a time? What will happen after we die? Our life has been a mix of good and bad deeds. We all sin sometimes, living in this material world. We seek answers to these questions – Will we go to a heaven or hell? Does God love me? Will God be kind to me? Will He forgive me for my sins? If I pay a part of my earnings to a temple, or a church, or in charity, will I be forgiven? These are the complimentary questions that haunt us when we contemplate death. However, we don’t investigate the Truth about heaven and hell.
Where are heaven and hell? Have you seen a picture of any of the two? Has anybody been there? Has anybody given us a first-hand account of it? Never! There is no place like heaven or hell. These are not physical locations. Of course, we imagine that they exist and for sure our religion advocates that after we die, we will go there. But what does this actually mean?
Once we die, what happens in reality? The body returns to dust. We cremate our dear ones and even immerse their left-over ashes in the river. Thereafter, we imagine that they have gone to heaven. But how could they go? Who would go? Where would they go? Heaven and hell are a fairy tale. They are a figment of man’s imagination. Does it mean that we will not go to heaven or hell?
Of course, we will experience heave and hell, they will be experienced right here on earth. We will experience both heaven and hell when we take rebirth. This is the Truth. Unfortunately, when we are kids and we ask our parent what will happen after we die, we are mostly taught this story – ‘If you do good deeds, you will go to heaven where God will reward you. If you sin, your bad deeds will take you to hell, where you will suffer.’ Nobody teaches us that heaven and hell are right here on earth and we will experience them at rebirth!
Who leaves the body at death? The believers of Karma know that Karma is never settled at death. There are always residual Karmas that need to be settled. Death is sudden and it does not happen after we square off our good and bad deeds. Therefore, the pending Karma is carried forward by the one who leaves the body at death.
Those who understand the Law of Karma, realize that heaven and hell are a result of Karma. If your life is experiencing hell now, it only means that your past Karma is unfolding in a manner to redeem your past sins. Suffering doesn’t happen randomly. Every outcome of our life is a result of our Karma. Therefore, whatever actions we perform, get recorded in our Karmic account. Ultimately, when we die, our Karma, both our current account and corpus that remain to be redeemed, jointly cause our birth. If there is good Karma, we will be born in a heaven on earth. There will be luxury and love, joy and good fortune. But if our cumulative Karma is negative, and we have sinned either in our present life or our past lives, our negative Karma will cause us to be born in a hell and we will suffer. Therefore, both heaven and hell are experienced right here on earth. We don’t ‘go there’. They do not exist, except in our imagination. When we transcend Karma, then we escape from rebirth, from heaven and hell on earth, and become one with God.
Because we believe in the fairy tales
that our scriptures tell,
Though the body returns to dust,
we believe we go to heaven or hell.

ULTIMATELY, WHOM DOES KARMA BELONG TO?
To understand the A to Z of Karma, one must be very clear, therefore, as to whom the Karma actually belongs to. The doer of Karma is the body. Does Karma belongs the body? The director of an action is the Mind and Ego, ME. Is it ME who owns the Karm? Some people even believe that Karma belongs to the Soul. They think there are good souls and bad souls, that our Soul will go to heaven or hell based on its Karma. They don’t realize that the Soul is a particle of God Energy. It does not do Karma, accumulate Karma or is reborn based on Karma. The Soul is birthless and deathless. It gives power to the one who takes birth and gives breath and life till they are alive on earth. The moment the Soul departs, there is death.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
