Life is an aperture into the material world and universal consciousness. This aperture is the nature’s gift to the soul to escape from the endless cycle of trans-migratory experience and free itself from the bondage.The material universe that the life interacts with is designed not just to fulfil material desires but also attain spiritual liberation and escape from the endless cycle of birth and death. The sense and motor organs guided by the mind, intellect and ego interact with the material world to fulfil desires. Psychological forces of lust, anger, greed, ego, attachment and jealousy hinder oneself from attaining the spiritual liberation.

Spiritual liberation is only possible in the earthly life because it is here where the karmic debts are repaid and exhausted. Karmic debt is a hindrance to the spiritual progress and liberation. The spiritual progress in the after-life realms is very slow because there is no physical body to repay the karmic debts in the form of pain and suffering. The earthly life offers the individual to merge with the creator or the universal consciousness.

During the dissolution of the universe, the life aperture closes and the bonded souls that have not repaid the karmic debts are held in a limbo and have to wait until new universe is created and the life aperture opens up again to exhaust karma and seek liberation.

Merging with the universal consciousness means that an individual is no more identified with the body, mind and intellect and experiences a complete state of detachment. The individual has defeated all the inner enemies lust, anger, attachment, greed, jealousy and ego. The individual has surpassed the world on duality and unites with the supreme.

I would like to end this article with a quote from Swami Vivekananda

Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached
