The Loophole Of Death

By Khushi Roy

Heaven is infinite and yet everyone reincarnates…

Older than the legends are the tales themselves, the tales of heaven and hell. The two ultimate gateways of death, passed on for generations as the Ying and Yang of our fabricated universe. Their existence though questionable is as innate as religion itself. Both are the similarity and difference in each belief, being the answer to the ultimate question asked by all, they stand as the polyonymous ultimates. They neither occupy time nor space, yet from a sage to a fool,

everyman houses the desire of heaven and the fear of hell. Their location though a secret the path is always compromised, cause if you are born, you are destined to walk the universal trajectory of death or renowned as the cycle of Karma. Life is finite but death is endless, where you step in with your seven deadly sins and seven capital virtues, all accordingly accounted for, making the choice between heaven and hell for you. Both the Nirvana and the Netherworld, being infinite metaphysical planes spread way beyond human intellect and senses. But being the egoistical Homo-sapiens we are, we hold that the extreme of anything is a vice disguised as a virtue, let that be grief or glee, abomination or affection or even life or death themselves. Hence, death has a loophole, that while the karma you collected in life decides your fate in death, the karma you collect in death also decides your fate in reincarnation or the transmigration of a soul back to life.
