Acharya Prashant explains that there is nothing after death. The world and time exist only through one's perception. When a person asks what happens after death, they are assuming a continuation of time. For instance, if someone dies at 4 PM, for them, 4:05 PM will never arrive because their clock stops at 4. After death, there is no time, world, or space; therefore, the question of what happens 'after' becomes meaningless. Time is for the body and the brain. When the body is turned to ashes, there is no one left to count time. While the world's clocks will continue, for the deceased, everything has ended. Addressing the concept of the soul being immortal and changing bodies, Acharya Prashant calls this a crude way of explaining a deeper truth. He points out the contradiction in believing the soul is infinite yet can enter and exit a limited body. He uses the analogy of an infinite ocean (the Supreme Being or Parmatma) and finite, transient waves (Nature or Prakriti, which includes bodies). The individual 'I' or ego-tendency (aham-vritti) is likened to a restless bumblebee that hops from one wave (life) to another, seeking something it can never find. This hopping is what is referred to as rebirth. The purpose of spirituality, he clarifies, is to help this 'I' realize its own unnecessary nature and find freedom from itself. The rebirth is of the ocean (the whole), not the individual wave (the person). A wave that dissolves is gone forever; the individual entity does not return. Memories are physical, stored in the brain, and are destroyed with the body. The underlying tendency (vritti), however, is part of the entire physical existence. Stories of saints remembering past lives are not about memory but about a deep understanding (bodh) of the body's long evolutionary journey, recognizing that its atoms have been part of countless forms. Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that the fundamental tendency (mool-vritti) of all beings is the same: the desire for liberation and the desire not to perish. This means the ego-tendency is one, merely expressing itself through different bodies, creating an illusion of difference. This understanding leads to non-violence and compassion. Quoting Kabir Saheb, he says, "Know my heart's matter from your own heart." When one realizes that everyone's deepest desire is the same, it becomes difficult to hate. When knowledge arises, non-violence follows naturally.
