Life After Death Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

Life after death

Dr. Varanasi Ramabrahmam

Life after death is the fancy of
Religions and religious preachers;

Spirituality considers birth and death
From another point of view;

They say:

Rise of ego is birth
Setting of ego is death

Thus every day in sleep one dies-
Becomes unaware of his body
Or personality, the Self-consciousness, which
Makes one consider this or that Individual!

In Reality what always is-
Is Pure Consciousness,
Observing the mind and its
Functions, which include Ego too

Thus there is life after death, that is
Individual is alive as Pure Consciousness sans
Self-consciousness;

Phase of consciousness,
Sans awareness of individuality
Is The attainment of moksha-
the onset of phase of Self, Brahman-
The Wakeful-sleep conscious state,
The same as deep sleep conscious state but with awareness or observation

This is termed as-
The salvation, the liberation
From rise and set of Ego,
The birth and death of the individual,
The awareness of Self-consciousness and its
Disappearance;

Thus individual outlives as
Pure Consciousness after the
Death of the individual - setting of ego; and rebirth - rise of ego
The onset of wakeful and dresm-conscious phases of mind;

Self as consciousness is present
Always; self-consciousness rises
And sets, giving birth and death to
Individual and individuality
Depending on the state of Consciousness or phase of mind
