Death does not need your support.It will happen.Life needs your support because life is a brief happening.
People on the spiritual path shed their body consciously when the body is in full health.People on the spiritual path decide when to leave, and when their body is in full health, they leave it.A good body, a body which is in utmost wellness, they leave it because they have known something other than the physical.So for them, dropping the physical is not a big issue.Now when people have not known anything other than the physical, physical is the biggest issue.Th at is why they are stretching it.Divine should enter, it is time.
There are five dimensions of vital energies, or pranas, in the physical system.They are known as: Samana, Prana, Udhana, Apana and Vyana.
Samana The first thing that leaves the system at the time of death is Samana, or the body’s “fire. The body starts to become cold.
Prana: The next to recede is Prana, the “air.” The breath and thought stops.
Once Samana and Prana have left, for all practi-cal purposes, one is dead; medically you will be declared dead, once these two things leave.
The others are still there and will recede slowly.
Udhana starts receding between 6 to 12 hours’ time. Ud-hana represents sound or vibration. As it recedes, there will be certain withdrawal sounds in the body.Once Udhana has gone, the possibility of life coming back into that body has been sealed off. Once the sounds or reverberations of life are gone, then it is 99.999% certain that life will not return to this body.
Apana, the body’s “water,” starts receding between 6 to 18 hours’ time.
Vyana, the “earth,” which is in charge of the pre-servative nature of the body, starts receding between 12 to 18 hours.Once Vyana begins to recede, rigor mortis will set in.As long as that is there, the body is still fl exible and feels like it is alive.Vyana takes somewhere between 11 to 14 days to recede.
So we can put a drop of pleasantness into that being for up to 14 days if he died of old age.In case somebody died below 40 years of age – who was a very young vibrant life, where life is still vibrant, but the body broke and became inhospitable for the life process – then up to 48 days very easily we can do this.If it is very vibrant, we can inf l uence that life up to 90 days.If he is 50–55 years of age, but he is an active, vibrant life and he died because he broke his body for some reason, then we can inf l uence him up to 48 days.
