All human beings, whether or not they believe in incarnation, can conceive of the existence of an immortal link! Statistics show that more than 80 percent, atheists and believers alike, conceive of its existence.

In the realm of the abstract, does there exist a way of knowing, understanding, or finding a means to manage this immortality?

To this we answer: practice the technique of auditory contemplation (Shabda) and the technique of visual contemplation (Téjas).

How does this work? It may seem hard to explain in concrete terms, but let's risk a few sketches, for our own satisfaction.

Although we retain no memory of our past lives, it is clear that we continue where we left off. "Obviously, this isn't the case for everyone." Does a memory disk exist?

It would be illusory to answer yes without proof. But that matters little, since preservation cannot take place in a memory — it requires a generator.

There are techniques that allow contact with such a disk — hypnosis, for example. Viewing this disk serves no purpose, except to satisfy the ego.

The subject of this editorial is finding the link to immortality, which for now we have named Shabda.

Shabda and Téjas are generators of this kind. Faith, too, can lead to reaching the immortal link — and the fact that some cases are innate should not be overlooked.

One fact worth considering: a certain percentage can reach the immortal link. Another percentage will endure a few reincarnations. And it's a safe bet that 50 percent can reach neither of these links.

Rest assured, however, of the result that the technique of auditory contemplation (Shabda) and visual contemplation (Téjas) will bring you.
