The other day i was asked a question by someone as to how do we recognize someone at Astral or subtle plain. As one may recall, we have 3 bodies or plains . They are physical body or Gross body also called STHUL SHARIR , Astral body or subtle body also called SUKSHMA SHARIR, and lastly causal body or KARAN SHARIR. When we die , the physical body loses it's connection to other 2 bodies and that leads to death of Physical body , as it cannot sustain without the other 2 bodies and may be the energy or reflection of the God or ABHAS CHAITANYA .The 2 remaining bodies namely the subtle body and causal body are carried from one life to other. The subtle body is nothing more than mind ,intellects, emotions ,ego etc. We recognize each other by PHYSICAL BODY . We do not see subtle body or causal body or the Soul or the reflected consciousness , also called ABHAS CHAITANYA . In absence of physical body , how do we or how can we recognize each other.
We have heard that when death is imminent, people SEE the dead relatives. We have also heard that when one dies , at astral plain , your relatives who have dies in past ahead of you welcome you. So how do we recognize each other if we have no physical body. The mind , intellect and ego are part of SUKSHMA SHARIR or subtle body as we can not see. So what happens ,so we can recognize each other?
I do not have clear cut answer.
But based on what we have heard , or read, we KNOW that we DO SEE ghosts and ghosts are nothing more that departed souls, who have no physical body. So in spite of losing physical body, we still retain the outline of the physical body and the subtle body MUST RETAIL our senses , the seeing, and hearing etc. am not sure we can have or retain sense of TOUCH or TASTE. AGAIN THIS IS MY OWN THOUGHT and I am not sure if anyone has ever tried to address this question.
When we start talking about death and reincarnation, then the additional questions also pop up like HOW LONG , we have theses MEMORIES to recognize out relatives or friends ,when do we lose that memory. If anyone who reads this blog has any idea please comment. I will try to comment on these questions next time .
