Hello Arijit,

I am sorry to hear about you grandfather. It is often the case that we start thinking about such things when a loved one dies. Many people wonder what happens after death and of course no one can really answer the question, but I will offer my beliefs on the subject.

Through meditation I have learned to identify myself with my spirit – this is the essence of who I am. And the spirit is everlasting, so when we “die”, the spirit remains. I also believe that our spirit chooses our life for us, so your grandfather’s spirit chose his life, chose when to die and will choose when to get realisation. This is something that I personally take comfort in – that each of our spirit knows what is best for us and takes care of us. Worrying about your grandfather of course will not help him but knowing that his spirit has already moved onto whatever stage is next for him may help you to let go and not to feel anxiety about him.

Just my thoughts. I hope you are doing okay, and I hope you continue to enjoy the meditation – it can certainly help us to remain balanced when we are facing difficult times.
