Anil Kumar Questions and
Answers
Question 11
When does
the Atma leave the body? What happens to the Atma after death?
This is the next question. (03.11.2002)
Where does Atma go? There is
no place where there is no Atma. So there is no question of
Atma vanishing somewhere. It doesn’t go on any holiday trip
or ego trip or weekend holiday because Atma is present
everywhere. It doesn’t go anywhere. It is everywhere. A simple
example Baba gives is this. There is a light bulb. When you remove
the bulb, isn’t there still electricity? There is electricity, but
when you put the bulb there, you get the light. There is a power
supply. When you remove the bulb, there is still the power supply,
but you don’t get the light. This is the example given by
Bhagavan. Similarly, whether the body is there or not, the
Divinity, the Atma, the Consciousness, the Spirit exists
because it is immortal.
