From Bounded souls to Liberated souls Print

This creation can be understood as a combination of two planes. The 'material plane' exists at the bottom and the 'spiritual plane' exists at the top. We, the souls, exist in this creation as per the levels of our consciousness. The lower the consciousness, the lower we are in the material plane, and the more we are bounded by the laws of nature, like animals. This is a bounded state of our soul. The level of consciousness is determined by our karmas ( actions). By performing different karmas, day to day, year to year, birth to birth we raise or reduce our level of consciousness and determine our fate. Souls, with higher consciousness, exist above the souls with lower consciousness in the material plane, hence near the spiritual plane. the moment we cross the threshold level, we enter into the top spiritual plane. This state is called the enlightenment state or the state of freedom. Here, we exist as liberated souls with infinite consciousness, infinite peace, and infinite knowledge.
