What life is trying to teach
By Roop Lakhani - 14:44:00
We were sitting in a family group and some interesting discussions were happening around abortion, missacrriage, is the number of soul fixed? What is life? And more. And I had little research on the same topics and here is what I am writing. You may share your thoughts too.
A soulful reflection on life, karma, love, and spiritual understanding
There are moments in life that logic cannot fully explain.
Why do some souls stay for 80 years while some leave before birth?
Why do some pregnancies end in miscarriage?
Why do some souls arrive only to depart quietly through abortion, stillbirth, or early loss?
Why do certain parents carry invisible grief for years without understanding what truly happened on a soul level?
Across many spiritual traditions, it is believed that we are not merely bodies — we are eternal souls, or atmas, traveling through experiences for learning, healing, evolution, and consciousness.
An atma is not “born” when the body is born.
The soul is considered timeless.
The body changes.
The soul continues.
The Soul Chooses Experiences
Many spiritual teachings suggest that before birth, souls choose certain experiences for growth.
Some souls come for:
-long journeys
-deep karmic lessons
relationships
-healing ancestral patterns
creating change in the world
-And some souls come only briefly.
Not every soul enters Earth to complete a full human lifetime.
Some souls may enter the womb only to:
-create awakening
-open the hearts of parents
-complete a karmic connection
-teach love, surrender, compassion, or healing
-experience the energy of human existence for a short time
This does not make their existence less meaningful.
Sometimes the shortest journeys leave the deepest transformation.
Miscarriage Souls: The Unseen Teachers
A miscarriage often leaves behind silent grief.
Many mothers ask:
“Did my baby suffer?”
“Was it my fault?”
“Why did this happen?”
“Did that soul reject me?”
Spiritually, many believe miscarriage is not punishment.
-Sometimes the body may not support the pregnancy physically.
-Sometimes the timing may not align energetically.
-Sometimes the soul’s agreement was only for a brief connection.
Some spiritual healers believe miscarriage souls often remain connected through love and energy, even if they do not continue in physical form.
The soul may:
-return later
-reincarnate elsewhere
-remain connected as a guiding energy
-complete its karmic contract in subtle ways
While science explains miscarriage medically, spirituality often offers emotional and soul-level comfort.
Both perspectives can coexist.
Abortion and the Soul Journey
Abortion is one of the most emotionally complex experiences a person can go through.
Behind every abortion there may be:
-fear
-confusion
-survival
-health concerns
-trauma
-social pressure
-financial struggle
-emotional pain
-difficult life circumstances
Spiritually, different traditions hold different beliefs.
-Some believe the soul understands the circumstances before entering.
-Some believe the soul’s contract may involve only partial entry into physical life.
-Some believe forgiveness, compassion, and healing are more important than guilt.
A soul-centered perspective reminds us: human beings make decisions from their level of awareness, pain, and capacity at that moment.
Carrying lifelong shame does not heal the soul.
Awareness, prayer, forgiveness, grief processing, and self-compassion create deeper healing.
Do These Souls Return?
Many spiritual traditions believe souls can return again in another pregnancy, family, or life path.
Some parents deeply feel:
“The same soul came back later.”
“I feel connected to that child energetically.”
“I still dream about that baby.”
Whether symbolic, emotional, or spiritual, these experiences often help people process love and grief.
No one can scientifically prove reincarnation with certainty, yet many cultures across the world have believed in soul continuation for thousands of years.
The Deeper Spiritual Lesson
Life is not always about duration.
-Sometimes a soul changes an entire family without ever speaking a word.
-A miscarriage may awaken compassion.
-A loss may strengthen faith.
-An abortion may lead someone toward healing, consciousness, or emotional transformation.
-The soul journey is often mysterious.
What matters most is not fear — but how much love, awareness, healing, and compassion we bring into our experiences.
A Gentle Reflection
Perhaps souls are not here merely to survive.
Perhaps they are here to:
-learn love
-heal wounds
-complete karmic patterns
-awaken consciousness
-help each other evolve
-And maybe even the briefest souls carry sacred purpose.
Because sometimes an atma touches a life not through years — but through transformation.
Reflection Questions
-What if every soul experience carries meaning, even when we cannot understand it immediately?
-How would healing change if we replaced guilt with compassion?
-Can love continue beyond physical presence?
-What lessons have grief and loss taught your soul?
Affirmation
“I honor every soul journey with compassion, love, and awareness.
I allow healing, understanding, and peace to flow through my heart.”
Do you think , “The soul is never born and never dies.” is true? Is new atmas created?
Different spiritual traditions explain the creation of souls (ātmas) in different ways, so there is no single universally accepted answer. But the question touches a deep spiritual mystery that many seekers wonder about.
In many Indian philosophies, especially Vedanta, the ātma is not “created” at all. It is considered eternal — never born, never dying.
The essence is often expressed like this:
This Sanskrit line from the Bhagavad Gita means: “The soul is never born and never dies.”
According to this view:
Souls always existed.
They are sparks or expressions of the Divine Consciousness.
Bodies are born and die, but consciousness continues.
Liberation (moksha) is not creating or destroying the soul — it is remembering its true nature.
Why do some souls seem “stuck” or wandering as spirits?
Many spiritual systems say this can happen because of:
-sudden death
-intense attachment
-unfinished desires
-trauma
-fear
-confusion after death
-strong emotional or karmic bondage
Such beings are sometimes described as “earthbound spirits” in mystical traditions. The idea is that consciousness remains attached to lower planes instead of moving peacefully onward.
But many traditions also caution:
-not every paranormal feeling is a spirit
-fear exaggerates imagination
-one should focus more on healing, prayer, compassion, and spiritual growth rather than fear of spirits
Now the most interesting question:
“If souls are fixed in number, why is population increasing?”
Different traditions answer this differently:
One soul can incarnate from many realms. Some teachings say souls incarnate not only from Earth cycles but from many dimensions, lokas, or realms of existence.
Not all life forms were previously human. Some philosophies believe consciousness evolves through many births — animal, plant, human, celestial, etc. As human population rises, more souls may enter human experience.
Time is not linear spiritually
Some mystical teachings suggest -consciousness doesn’t experience time the way humans do.
The same soul-energy may express across timelines in ways the human mind cannot fully understand.
Divine consciousness is infinite
Another perspective says souls are not a “limited stock.”
Infinite consciousness can manifest infinite expressions, just as one sun reflects in countless drops of water.
A beautiful analogy often used:
The ocean is one.
Waves are many.
Each wave appears separate, yet all are water.
Similarly:
Divine Consciousness is one.
Souls are individual expressions of it.
Some spiritual teachers also say: “What increases is not the number of souls, but the number of embodied experiences.”
No one can scientifically prove these metaphysical ideas, so it is best to hold them with openness rather than absolute certainty.
Spiritual wisdom often points less toward intellectual answers and more toward inner realization, compassion, awareness, and conscious living.
Yes, many spiritual traditions and near-death teachings speak about this idea.
The belief is that at the moment of death, the state of consciousness matters deeply.
If a person leaves the body carrying:
-intense guilt
-hatred
-attachment
-regret
-shame
-anger
-fear
-harsh self-judgment
-unfinished emotional lessons
then the soul may remain energetically tied to those experiences and seek another lifetime for deeper awareness, healing, balance, and evolution.
In traditions connected to Karma and reincarnation, it is often said: we do not get punished by God — we continue learning through consciousness.
The soul is believed to move toward experiences that help it understand:
-compassion
-forgiveness
-self-worth
-love
-responsibility
-surrender
-truth
For example:
someone who dies with deep guilt may seek a life where self-forgiveness becomes the lesson
someone full of control may return to learn surrender
someone harshly judging others may experience situations that awaken empathy
Many spiritual teachers say the soul itself desires growth.
Not from torture — but from evolution of awareness.
This is why inner healing during life is considered important.
Practices like:
-forgiveness
-emotional healing
-self-awareness
-prayer
-meditation
-compassion
-acceptance
-releasing resentment
are believed to lighten the emotional burden carried by the soul.
Some traditions even describe death as a mirror state: the soul experiences its own consciousness clearly, without earthly distractions.
So if a person has lived with extreme self-hatred or unresolved pain, that energy may still continue after physical death until it is understood and healed.
But there is also another beautiful spiritual perspective:
No soul is eternally condemned.
Growth is always possible.
Even painful rebirths are not necessarily punishment — they may be opportunities for awakening.
In many teachings of Buddhism and Vedanta, liberation comes when the soul moves beyond ignorance, attachment, ego, and fear into deeper truth and awareness.
A soulful way to understand it is:
“The soul returns not because it failed, but because consciousness is still unfolding.”
A mother who experiences miscarriage or abortion often carries emotions that are very deep, layered, and invisible to others.
She may carry:
guilt
grief
anger
numbness
emptiness
self-blame
confusion
regret
shame
longing
fear of judgment
Spiritually and emotionally, unresolved guilt can become heavy energy inside the heart and body.
Many women silently keep asking:
“Did I fail?”
“Was it my fault?”
“Will that soul forgive me?”
“Am I a bad person?”
“Did I break a sacred bond?”
But healing begins when she understands something important:
Human beings make decisions and experience life from their level of awareness, emotional state, health, survival capacity, and circumstances at that moment.
A compassionate spiritual perspective does not encourage lifelong punishment.
It encourages:
awareness
grieving
emotional release
prayer
forgiveness
self-compassion
conscious healing
In many spiritual views, the soul of the child is not sitting in eternal anger or revenge.
Rather, souls are believed to understand human limitations far more deeply than humans understand themselves.
Sometimes what keeps pain alive is not the event alone — but the continuous self-condemnation afterward.
When guilt remains suppressed for years, it may show up as:
anxiety
depression
fear
relationship difficulties
overprotectiveness
inability to receive joy
emotional numbness
subconscious self-punishment
feeling unworthy of happiness
Healing does not mean forgetting.
Healing means allowing love and compassion to enter a wounded place.
Some women find peace through:
writing letters to the unborn child
prayer or spiritual rituals
therapy or grief counseling
meditation
inner child healing
acts of kindness and service
speaking their truth safely
consciously forgiving themselves
A very gentle spiritual understanding is this:
The soul lesson may not be about punishment — it may be about awakening deeper compassion, consciousness, and love for oneself and others.
And sometimes the greatest healing begins when a mother stops asking: “Why did this happen to me?” and slowly begins asking: “How can I hold myself with love through this pain?”
A Soulful Reflection
Not every loss is meant to destroy the heart.
Some losses break the heart open — so healing, wisdom, compassion, and deeper consciousness can enter.
Why so many hindu god's?
Have you heard the famous phrase from Hindu traditions:
“33 crore devas (gods)”
Many people think it literally means 330 million gods, but that is likely a misunderstanding of the Sanskrit word koti.
In Sanskrit, koti can mean:
crore (10 million)
but also “type,” “category,” or “class”
So many scholars and spiritual teachers explain that the original meaning was:
33 categories or divine principles, not necessarily 330 million separate gods.
These 33 are traditionally grouped as:
12 Adityas
11 Rudras
8 Vasus
2 Ashwini Kumaras
Total = 33 divine energies.
These are seen less as “many competing gods” and more as cosmic functions or expressions of one Divine Reality.
For example:
creation
destruction
healing
light
intelligence
wind
water
transformation
protection
In Hindu philosophy, especially Vedanta, there is ultimately one supreme consciousness appearing in many forms.
A common spiritual understanding is:
One truth
Many expressions
Many names
Many forms
Like:
-one electricity powering many devices
-one ocean forming many waves
-one sunlight entering many windows
Some traditions later poetically expanded this into “33 crore deities,” symbolizing the infinite ways divinity expresses itself through existence.
This also connects to why Hindu spirituality has so many forms like:
Shiva
Vishnu
Lakshmi
Durga
Kali
Ganesha
They are often viewed as different energies, qualities, or aspects of the same universal consciousness rather than completely separate supreme beings.
Some spiritual teachers explain it beautifully: “God is one light; deities are different colors of that light.”
So the “33 crore” idea is usually understood symbolically and spiritually, not as a mathematical census of gods.
Different spiritual traditions give different answers, so there is no fixed number that everyone agrees upon.
In many Hindu, Buddhist, and spiritual teachings, the soul takes many births across lifetimes to learn, evolve, balance karma, and eventually move toward liberation (moksha or nirvana).
Some traditions symbolically mention
84 lakh yonis (8.4 million life forms/species or states of existence)
before attaining higher spiritual realization.
This idea is often associated with:
-evolution of consciousness
-learning through many experiences
-movement through different forms of life
But it is usually understood symbolically and spiritually, not as an exact biological count.
Many spiritual teachers say:
-some souls evolve quickly
-some repeat the same lessons
-some remain attached to fear, ego, anger, or desire
-some awaken faster through awareness, compassion, and conscious living
So the journey is believed to depend more on consciousness than on a fixed number of births.
In traditions like Vedanta:
-the real goal is self-realization
-realizing the soul was never separate from the Divine
In Buddhism:
rebirth continues until ignorance and attachment dissolve
Some mystical traditions even say:
time itself is part of the illusion
the soul’s journey is not linear the way humans imagine it
And some modern spiritual teachers interpret rebirth psychologically:
each “life” can also mean phases of transformation within one lifetime
Since these subjects are beyond scientific proof, it helps to approach them with openness, reflection, and inner inquiry rather than fear.
A deeper spiritual question is often not: “How many lives do we take?” but: “What is this life trying to teach my soul now?”
What is life trying to teach you?
This is one of the deepest spiritual questions a person can ask.
“What is this life trying to teach my soul now?”
Many spiritual paths believe life is not random.
Experiences, relationships, challenges, losses, successes, and even emotional triggers may all become opportunities for the evolution of consciousness.
Sometimes life may be teaching your soul:
-to love yourself instead of abandoning yourself
-to choose truth over people-pleasing
-to set boundaries without guilt
-to trust yourself
-to heal childhood wounds
-to move from fear into faith
-to release control
-to forgive
-to receive love
-to balance giving and receiving
-to value your own voice
-to awaken compassion
-to stop seeking worth only through sacrifice
-to remember your inner power
-to live consciously instead of automatically
Very often, the soul lessons hide inside recurring patterns.
For example:
-repeated heartbreak may point toward self-worth or boundaries
-financial struggles may invite ---healing around scarcity, fear, or self-value
-loneliness may guide someone toward self-connection
-emotional triggers may reveal unhealed wounds asking for awareness
-difficult relationships may mirror lessons about attachment, control, or forgiveness
In many teachings connected to Spirituality and Psychology, pain itself is not the teacher.
Awareness is the teacher.
Two people can go through the same experience:
one becomes bitter
one becomes wiser and more compassionate
The difference is consciousness.
Sometimes life keeps repeating the same lesson until the soul truly sees it.
Not as punishment — but as an invitation to awaken.
A powerful way to explore this question is to ask yourself:
What patterns keep repeating in my life?
What emotions do I avoid feeling?
Where do I abandon my truth?
What fear controls many of my decisions?
What part of me is asking to heal?
What kind of person is life helping me become?
And sometimes the answer is simpler than we expect.
Maybe life is trying to teach the soul:
-peace instead of struggle
-self-love instead of self-judgment
presence instead of fear
-authenticity instead of pretending
compassion instead of hardness
-Perhaps the soul’s journey is not about becoming someone else.
-Perhaps it is about remembering who we truly are beneath fear, conditioning, wounds, and ego.
