We can’t learn everything in a single lifetime, Li le Mouse, not even a very long one. Each soul has many lifetimes on Earth, not just one. We drop off our physical body at death, but our inner self, or soul, never dies. Like this deer which has died, we just leave our physical body and go on thinking, feeling and acting in our astral body in the subtle world. We also do this when we sleep, but we return to our body each time we wake up. At death we don’t come back into our physical body. We leave the physical plane and continue to grow and learn in the inner worlds. at’s why Hindus do not fear death. ey know it is just another beginning.
