The life of a kriya yogi is not guided by past actions, but by the direction of his inner Self. The aspirant rapidly reaches the goal, avoiding the path of haphazard evolution based on his karma . He becomes free from life and death. The problem of death is not really a mystery. The truth is that there is no difference between life and death.
Nothing is actually dead.
Just as atoms in inanimate matter, like metals, are in continuous motion and rapid vibration, similary, the atoms in the flesh of a corpse are in continuous motion and rapid vibration. Different forms of matter are the manifestation of the same life force, just as ice, water, snow and steam are the different manifestations of the same substance. All matter, including inanimate and dead bodies, is the manifestation of life. At birth something enters the world, while at death something departs. This something is the theme of all religions and they have attempted to probe it and have come up with certain answers.
