The entirety of a human life is a preparation for the final examination at death. A man, suddenly finding himself at death8217;s door, reviews in a flash the thoughts and desires and habits of his entire life. He is quickly invaded by one overwhelming feeling or desire, whose nature will be in accordance with the character of his life. He may feel predominantly guilty, for his evil actions; or predominantly happy, because of his good deeds; or predominantly worldly, because of his material activities. Whatever his feeling, it is the determining cause that will lead him to a particular part of the astral worlds and then to another suitable incarnation on earth. 8220;For as he thinketh in his heart, so, is he8221;.
The paramount habit of thought and feeling during a man8217;s years on earth is thus the most important factor on 8220;the day of judgement8221;. The final thought, inexorably produced by the tenor of a lifetime, is indeed the karmic judge that at the sound of 8220;Gabriel8217;s trumpet8221; announces a man8217;s next destination.
By practice of non-attachment the yogi dissolves all the inclinations and desires of his heart and remains in continuous ecstasy with the Aum vibration, the expression of God in creation. When death arrives, the yogi finds Gabriel8217;s trumpet, issuing from the Cosmic Aum, ushering him into the transcendental spheres of God. Lahiri Mahasaya Yesu went through this Aum into the Infinite and resurrected himself in a physical body one day after that of his 8220;death8221;!
