Next life?
Question
Respected Sir,
People say if we practice brahmcharya for atleast 12 years or maybe more than that then we get moksha.What about the other karmas we have done maybe somewhat bad or good in this life even if we are doing brahmcharya practice stricktly in this life.So doesn't it mean that we have to take next birth to get the rewards of the deeds we have done even if we are practicing brahmcharya stricktly.
Answer
To whom is life and death? To whom is karma? Who are you? Are you the one who experiences these? One is the eternal Atman (self) who has no birth or death and who is unaffected by karma. It is the Ego and the body which are limited by birth, death or karma. He who practices Brahmacharya in essence realizes this ultimate truth and resides as the Atman, unaffected by the unreal. Hence let go of pondering on the illusion and work to remain as the self.
ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
