The journey of the departed Soul - How the individual Soul comes again into human body are relevant topics.

The Holy Qur'an speaks as follows on the course human life:

The Qur'an divides the course of human life into two broad periods. The first period consists of two stages. One is the stage of man in the making. This is the stage of evolution of the human species, or the stage leading to the emergence of the Biblical Adam and Eve. The second stage is the stage of their reproduction and multiplication. What follows thereafter, from the emergence of the child from its mother's womb till it grows and crosses, according to the Qur'an, the threshold of death, to pass on into a further phase of life, is covered by the second period of life.

The Prayer- "O Allah! Improve my spiritual life, for, that is to be my refuge; and purify my material life, for, I have to live it, and prepare me for the life to which I shall have to return: and keep me alive, and call me back, when it is good for me to die. Lengthen my life in every goodly state, and turn death into bliss before any evil state supervenes."

THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS AS FOLLOWS-

St. John in his letter speaks of the eternal life. St. Peter in his first letter also speaks about the holy living, thus "14. Be obedient to God, and do not allow your lives to be shaped by those desires you had when you were still ignorant. 15. Instead be holy in all that you do, just as God who called you is holy. 16. The scripture says, be holy because I am holy". In his letter to Galatians, St. Paul speaks on "the Spirit and human nature"."16. What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of human nature. 17. For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies and this means that you cannot do what you want to do. If the spirit leads you then you are not subject to the Law.

THE BUDDHISM speaks of three dimensional nature of Buddhahood reflecting the unity of samsara and nirvana, of enlightenment and ignorance, of a pure vision of the universe and an impure vision of the same. It also reflects the complete and total freedom of a Buddha. It reflects his or her freedom from the cycle of birth and death.

These few references to various religions and the dharmas inspire the person to enquire with a sharp mind into the invisible and eternal world behind this physical world. The life as understood by man is partial. The life between birth and death is only complimental. The other side between death and birth is practically ignored. The visible and invisible provides the complete existence. It is rational, logical and scientific. Every word implies its opposite and the one forms the cause for the other; the one per se has no existence. The visible life is one continuous uninterrupted movement on association with the gross matter and it is subjected to limitations of time, space and cause. Within itself the connotations are marked apparently by growth and decay, health and ill health, pleasure and pain. But it is one indivisible.

The life in the subtle body is also marked by the connotations as heaven, hell, suffering, God, devil etc. Life is continuous and is present in two spheres the visible and the invisible. Birth and death form the cause and effect in association with the matter.
