Yesterday was a day dedicated to your departed ones. Death is not the end; it is a beginning – a door opening onto the garden. This is a beautiful definition from a great author, writer and poet who was very open-minded in his time, and understood well the journey of a being beyond his incarnation. This was not common then in his country. There is so much to be discovered by humans who are intentionally left in the dark by currents of thought that promote misconceptions for reasons of their own. “This ‘opening onto the garden’ is indeed a great adventure, a discovery for the being who escapes from his physical body and sets off on another journey. For many this is a relief, a discovery and a beginning of a new life. What will it be? According to the state of the person’s mind and heart, everything can be different. Preparing oneself, advancing spiritually, defying this materiality and foreseeing what will be beyond this life is a good approach to what will come later. There will be steps to go through; the journey will continue and our abhyasis are well prepared for it. That ‘garden’ has surprises in store for them, as other doors will still have to be opened, all of which have a special meaning, which they will find. “Our guidance goes well beyond this life; a soothed heart leaves with confidence knowing he is awaited and helped accordingly. A spiritual way operates far beyond this world; its work continues and effectively guides souls that are confident about their future. All should rest assured: yes, death is a beginning elsewhere, but not an end. There, continues that journey which happens here below, but in a manner that is different and subtler, appropriate to the circumstances. May all be at peace.”
