IMMORTALITY

https://youtu.be/XTTAVlhUtqg

1 O my God!O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions! Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world. O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold thy splendors on the loftiest mount. - 'Abdu'l-Bah

3 Death proffereth unto every confident believer the cup that is life indeed. It bestoweth joy, and is the bearer of gladness. It conferreth the gift of everlasting life. - Baha'u'll h

5 And now concerning thy question regarding the soul of man after death. Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God, in a state and condition which neither the revolution of ages and centuries, nor the changes and chances of this world, can alter. It will endure as long as the Kingdom of God, His sovereignty, His dominion and power will endure. It will manifest the signs of God and His attributes, and will reveal His loving kindness and bounty. - Baha'u'll h, Gleanings, p.176

6 Any thing with the power to make you laugh over thirty years later isn t a waste of time. I think something like that is very close to immortality. Stephen King

7 Concerning the future life what Baha'u'll h says is that the soul will continue to ascend through many worlds. What those worlds are and what their nature is we cannot know. The same way that the child in the matrix cannot know this world so we cannot know what the other world is going to be. - From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, 1932: National Bah ' review, No. 92, p.6. September 1975

8 The progress of the soul does not come to an end with death. It rather starts along a new line. Baha'u'll h teaches that great and far-reaching possibilities await the soul in the other world. Spiritual progress in that realm is infinite, and no man, while on this earth, can visualize its full extent. - From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, May 22, 1935

10 ...the souls of the children of the Kingdom, after their separation from the body, ascend unto the realm of everlasting life. But if ye ask as to the place, know ye that the world of existence is a single world, although its stations are various and distinct. For example, the mineral life occupieth its own plane, but a mineral entity is without any awareness at all of the vegetable kingdom. - 'Abdu'l-Bah , Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bah , pp. 193-194

11 The body is mortal, but the person dwelling in the body is immortal and immeasurable. -Bhagavad Gita

12 All creation, whether of the mineral, vegetable or animal kingdom, is compelled to obey the law of motion; it must either ascend or descend. But with the human soul, there is no decline. Its only movement is towards perfection; growth and progress alone constitute the motion of the soul. 'Abdu'l-Bah , Paris Talks

14 In all religions the belief exists that the soul survives the death of the body. Intercessions are sent up for the beloved dead, prayers are said for their progress and for the forgiveness of their sins. If the soul perished with the body all this would have no meaning. Further, if it were not possible for the soul to advance towards perfection after it had been released from the body, of what avail are all these loving prayers, of devotion? 'Abdu'l-Bah , Paris Talks
