LIFE AFTER DEATH A Perspective

human body consists of about ten trillion tiny cells that can be seen only through a microscope. Every single cell in our body is replaced every seven to ten years. That is, after an average ten years our entire body is fully replaced. In other words, if a person is ninety years old, it means his physical body has been replaced nine times! But, his personality remains the same, without the slightest change. We are eternal beings. Death is only a phase in our eternal journey. If in spite of nine 'deaths', the personality has remained intact, then why must it die when the physical body dies the tenth and final time? A philosopher has aptly stated this reality in these words: Personality is changelessness in change. (The Urantia Book) Death is like a door through which we go from the present world into the next. Death is a reminder of the reality that there is a world in the Hereafter. We must prepare ourselves to be able to find a proper place in the next world. o On Prayer If one prays in the true spirit of prayer, then one’s prayer will surely fend off indecency and evil. But if one’s prayer is devoid of spirit, it will be no more than a perfunctory action which has no connection with one’s real life.
