Think whatever you want. I m not messiah or anything. I'm just a human for now. And you didn't even try me
Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life, Purpose of Human Life, philosophical/religious facts, theories etc.
- Thread starter dharsayanti
- Start date
What's to try there? According to Advait, "We are all God ". You, me , Rohan there. If you find yourself, you will be called the enlightened one and merge back in to the "Ātman ". Otherwise we are all only human, going through rebirths,in the meantime . Good luck.

Depending on the school you are looking at, there are many theories/belief of nature of Atman/atma/soul. Common understanding is that soul feels/learns/evolves as it accumulates karma while seeking. Everyone will get their eventually. Some may need a lot more rebirths till they get enlightened.
In Atman/atma here refers to the soul that is reborn. Mortal bodies are like clothes for it. Soul takes rebirth in new bodies when previous one is worn out, till realization of it's own nature. Then it finds it's way back to the Brahm.
The Advaita (= Not two) philosophy is that the soul is the real you and same as the Brahm/god.
Dvaita (=two) is a dualistic philosophy that states the soul is separate from God, but created by God. Dvaita views the world as real, and liberation is achieved through devotion and surrender to God.
Advaita emphasizes knowledge (Jnana Yoga) as the primary path to liberation. Dvaita emphasizes devotion (Bhakti Yoga) as the primary means to liberation.
Karma yoga is another path to reach moksha (spiritual liberation) through work/karma i.e. "selfless action performed for the benefit of others". Work is worship here.
(In case word 'Yoga' is confusing you- those physical techniques ( health exercises) intended to give control over the body and mind, are part of Hatha Yoga ).
Then there is Dvaitadvaita= that is a balanced approach that recognizes the existence of both duality and non-duality, and that the soul, God, and the world are distinct but united.
There are other schools discussing nature of the God and soul but you get the idea how it goes...
Then there are approch to seeking: Among the various forms and approaches to devotion, the two main are worship of the Nirguna Brahm(Formless or without attributes) and Saguna Brahm( with attributes). Both Nirguna and Saguna Brahma upasanas (worship, prayer).
Vedantic approach is raising the question of whether the supreme being, Brahm, is to be characterized as without qualities/attributes (nirguṇa) or as possessing qualities/attributes (saguṇa). ....
And then there are more schools... Indian dharmic schools/sects have some common goals and way of thinking and Upasana methods but their concept of what God is or is not or how to approach may differ. There is no one book or one-size-fits-all approach here. So it's really up to individuals what suits them...
Most people go on what they want to believe and practice assured that they will get it right in some next birth even if they didn't get it right, this life. In the meantime trying to collect more good Karma than bad, so they don't have to pay/suffer the effect in this life or carry it to next.
Even if there is no rebirth or next life- you are not loosing much if you live well keeping bad karma to minimum.

If there is rebirth how do you explain how dont we have memory of the past life? And dejavu?
Going by the logic of that theory itself- I would think that our brain is piece of our mortal body that stores memories from the current life only... You spent time in your mother's womb - that's undebatable fact. Do you remember it? How is it going to keep track of some last birth to systematically recall it when it cannot do it even for the current one?
Dejavu is said to happen because of the way our brains process and retrieve memories. Maybe it's a bug in that computer that's our brain- generating a false imagery.
You can google philosophical theories on why we do not remember past life. General belief is that it' rebirth itself makes one not keep these memories so one could restart without burden and trauma from the past. That there is often a gap between two births that contributes to it. Then there are some who claim to remember bits from past life somehow- some claims have been too accurate or said to be. Not my personal experience and I don't bother to get in to it much. I have days when I'm more of atheist then times when I feel religious. I read them when in mood, but not dwelling on the theories, personally. It would be more accurate to say I like cultural aspect of it.

Are we moving on to creation theories now? Who knows who was first and who will be last if the universe is cyclic, expanding and cools, starting with a "big bang" and ending with a "big crunch".
Eh? What is the question here?
