Limitations of Our Existing Way of Life
At the higher level of existence, the thought process will be freed from the limitations and handicaps imposed on it by the physical world.
In order to explain what the higher state of existence will be like, the Puranas take the approach of explaining which of the negative factors that characterize the physical world, will not be present in the higher state of existence.
This approach is based on the premise that we cannot understand or know what we have not aleady experienced. Since we have not experienced the higher state of mind, we are told as to which of the negative factors that we now experience will not be there at the next level.
The Puranas clearly identify what is wrong with the present state of existence and also identify the changes that need to occur to rid the human mind of its (self imposed) limitations. | |

The Paramatma's teachings point the way to enhancing the positive attributes and to destroy the negatives.

THE ONLY LAUNCH VEHICLE AVAILABLE TO MAN, TO ESCAPE THE CYCLE OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS IS THROUGH THE EVOLUTION OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS. The Paramathma emphasises that the only aspect of this existence over which we can exercise control is our own minds. THE PURANAS REPRESENT ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY. IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP. THAT STEP IS TO BE TAKEN THROUGH OUR THOUGHT PROCESS. Obstacles have been created only so that the thought process will attempt to overcome them and in the process of this effort, evolution of thought will happen. |
