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 for the times, having well understood the journey of a being beyond an incarnation. This was not common in the author's country at the time. There is so much to be discovered by humans, who are intentionally left in the dark by currents of thought that perpetuate 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 or her physical body and sets off on another trajectory. For many this is a deliverance, a discovery and a beginning of a new life. What will it be? According to the person's disposition of mind and heart, everything can be different. Preparing oneself, advancing spiritually, defying this materiality and considering what will be beyond this life is a good approach to what will come later. There will be stages to go through; the journey will continue and our abhyasis are well prepared for that. That 'garden' has surprises in store for them; other doors are yet to be opened; all have a special meaning and they will find it.

Our guidance goes well beyond this life; a soothed heart leaves with confidence, knowing it is awaited and helped accordingly. A spiritual way operates well beyond this world; its action continues and effectively guides these confident souls into their

becoming. May all be reassured: yes, death is a beginning elsewhere and not an end. There, what is being done here below continues, in a different but more subtle manner, adapted to the circumstances. May all be at peace.
