Besides providing an apt explanation for the presence of so many suffering souls in this world, the teaching also reveals that auspicious moment in a series of lifetimes when the aspiring being, at odds with life and world-weary, affects its wise move back to its Source, featuring all the friends and helpers that encourage it onwards.

The Illusory Ego’s Projection Via Rebirth #262
Within the story of Sukra, in the revealed scripture, Yoga Vasishtha, can be found some rich and somewhat astonishing happenings which shine a light upon the human mind’s powers of mental projection. When one, indivisible mass of Consciousness breaks into parts, apparently so, individual souls begin their play or sport in the worlds of “make believe,” much like children playing outdoors away from their fathers. All manner of stories get conjured up at that time, all replete with heros, villains, deeds — even mocks deaths. It is all pretend. In like manner, Sukra dreamt himself into many lifetimes in various forms when he fell to earth, forgetting his true, birthless, deathless nature. This wisdom chart reveals how this strange phenomena occurs.
The Nine Ways of Dealing with Desire #103
Dharmic teachings concerning great cycles of existence — whether they be wheels of life, wheels of death, wheels of transmigration, or wheels of suffering — prove the fact that both philosophical schools and individual souls are specifically interested in knowing the inner dynamics of bondage and freedom. In Maya, or samsara, the matter of release from its limitations is not a simple one, as it also incorporates the karmas of individual souls and entire races — even up and into the realm of the ancestors. There may be wheels inside of wheels, then, all with intricate workings of their own. Since desire is generally accepted by all religions as the creator of bondage and suffering, it will benefit all seekers after true liberation to know how to deal with desire, and how to discern which methods in spiritual life and practice will be effective in removing them for good.
The Five Akashas of Vedanta Philosophy #59
With the major emphasis being on outer space in this scientific day and time, the realms of inner space have all been forgotten and abandoned. Indian seers have long known that these “many chambers of my Father’s Mansion” are the places of origin for all transmigrating souls who take a form to earth, as well as the abiding homes of peace and bliss for the gods and higher beings. Called akashas in Sanskrit, also lokas, they are
to be envisioned as being interconnected and dependent upon one another, like five Russian dolls that each reside within one another, partaking of the bliss of the “Oneness in diversity.”
The Three Bodies Comprising the Nonself #63
Unknown to most living beings on this earth today, the human being has three bodies, not just one. Even to merely entertain this idea will begin to break down mental and psychological barriers and open up doors to higher wisdom, while to take it up as a subject for ongoing and extended meditation will, over time, help release the embodied soul from attachment to all forms, leading to Freedom. Preoccupation with both the idea that one is the body, as well as remaining unaware of the existence of a subtle and a causal body that one experiences in dream and deep sleep, are the causes of avidya, or ignorance of one’s true nature, or Atman, beyond all bodies. The Eternal Way leading to Ultimate Reality is thus paved by the three paths of knowledge of the three bodies, and their inspection in deep meditation.
