Q:~ What happens to a person after death
according to advaitins?
Santthosh Kumaar:~ A person belongs to
the dualistic illusion. A person is born, lives, and dies within the dualistic
illusion or Maya.
A person is the birth entity. The one, who is born, lives, and dies in this illusory world is not the ‘Self’ because the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is birthless and
deathless.
The Self is not a person but the Self is the Soul, therefore, the individual experience of birth, life, and death, and the world has nothing to do
with the Soul, Self, which is birthless deathless because it is ever
formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
From a dualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth, life,
death, and the world is reality whereas, from a nondualistic perspective, the individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world is an illusion.
From
the Advaitc perspective, the individual who is bound by birth, life, and death does
not exist in reality.
The orthodoxy accepts the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as
reality, whereas Sage Sankara declares the world is unreal Brahman alone
is real.
Thus, the experience of birth, life, and death happening within the
illusory world is bound to be an illusion. The illusion has no value from the
Advaitic perspective. so the Soul alone is real and eternal. .: ~Santthosh
