Q: Every religion says that if we perform bad
deeds we will go to hell and good deeds will take us to heaven.
Is it true?
A: Good and bad deeds are basically
the impressions we carry on our sub-conscious mind for the various
experiences (good and bad) gathered during our present and previous
lives. These impressions (deeds) remain in the mind till corresponding
results have been experienced by the mind. Some deeds give their
results when the soul is in the physical body, some through dreams
and other deeds in both i.e. in physical body as well as in dreams
(that is why many people find their dreams coming true in the
physical world).
There is no separate Hell or Heaven to be visited after death,
but the mind creates its own hell and heaven based on the impressions
it carries. Remember any one particular night when you had very
scary dream, you shivered, perspired and screamed. You wanted
to wake up but couldn’t. Somebody woke you up hearing you
scream or you woke up after little bit of struggling. Can you
imagine such dreams continuing for long periods without your being
able to wake up as there is no physical body allowing you to wake
up (after death). Nobody to help you and no solution to get out
of the situation. This would be the experience of soul after the
death of physical body for the bad impressions it carries. Do
you think there can be worse experience of hell than this?
