Leading A Spiritual Life

             It  is  generally held that  death puts  a stop to this
          continuity.  But,  the  reason  to believe in  the  eternal
          continuity of  life is:  if this  process continues up to

          other head on, that would result in an accident. But if
          one car travels on one side of the road and the other on
          the other side, their onward journeys will continue in
          complete safety. In other words, both the cars, by taking
          the alternative route, avoid an accident.

             Life is full of confrontations: at home, in society, in
          national and international life. At any time a crisis may
