The Door is Never Closed

In spirituality the door symbolises the famous philosophical concept of two worlds that exist in our Universe so faithfully, and that Doors represent the clearest picture of eternal life. You die and then you go through the Light Door and enter another world as they say. There are Universal Doors which we can open with our mind when deep in meditation, that is when we lose sense of time and space, we enter into different dimensions which we never knew existed. It is even said that the Doors are boundaries in the intersecting spiral galaxies.

As humanity progressed and evolved both materially and spiritually the path of the Doors became clear. The Doors became more and more important. There are two aspects in each one of us: the first leads to the tangible, the naked eye, the visible, the material and which places emphasis on our Ego – this personality of ours is accessible to the whole world. The other, however, remains visible only to a select few, symbolising our inner being, our soul, our most personal seal and the path to self-realisation.

Sometimes one wonders whether all souls that take birth on earth will attain liberation. From what little I understand about spirituality that door is never closed – it is always open! All souls that take birth have to go through their karmic cycles, evolving to higher levels with every passing birth, till they find their Master who takes them to self-realisation and from there one carries on the journey alone till one reaches the state of liberation.

Swamiji keeps telling us that he has been with us for the last 800 years and because of his promise to take all the souls he had come across in the previous births to liberation – he has taken this birth to carry everyone across to the other shore. Again, that is his promise, he has held out his hand and many of us have caught it too – but again it depends on each individual whether he wants to hold on tightly to his hand and reach the other shore. The choice is with every individual to hold on or not.

If one does choose to let go of the hand, then it will be difficult to catch it again in this birth. One may have to wait for one or more births to attain the state of liberation. So, it depends on the individual on which side of the door he/she wishes to remain. The door is always open!
