It is a blessing if we can handle the last phases of our lives with important learning. Life teaches us but we don’t learn or it takes us a long time to learn. But learn we must.
The reason why Vanaprasth and
sanyas are advocated is because entering these phases with inquiry enables us
to work on the control of our desires . It is desires that remain within our
subtle bodies and which return with our next birth through the causal bodies.
To detach is difficult when so
much attachment has piled up due to ignorance. To unlearn all of that and to
relearn new lessons of surrender to the divine and not to human relationships
is not easy at all.
So, after a certain age, during
the last phases of this life, it becomes imperative to gradually detach from
the causes and effects cycle, and become conscious of the time, space and
causation which keeps us coming back here again and again.
Being aware of your karmic cycle
is extremely important. Most of our lives are tied to this cycle.
