This process is described here as pūtā, purification, existentional purification. That is called pūtā. Just like when you are infected by some disease, you have to purify yourself after the infection, and you come to your normal health, similarly, by knowledge and purificatory method, if you come to your spiritual knowledge and spiritual platform, then your life is successful.</p> | | <p>So this human form of body is the only chance that we can stop this transmigration of transferring ourself from one body to another and come to our spiritual body.
