It is a sort of confusion among the people regarding the reality after departure of the soul. Different religions describe different modes and different opinions. It is not the criticism to write author's view related to those opinions. Indeed, the ritualistic portion of the sacred religious books, Vedas describe the various rites and ceremonies, which are necessary for this attainment of earthly pleasure and celestial happiness. The main object of the Vedic rituals was to direct the human souls to the highest felicity of heaven. Heaven is meant for those, who have lived a virtuous and righteous life of this earth. But in those ancient times, the seers did not believe in an eternal hell. The idea of a hell or of an eternal punishment did not strike their minds. On the contrary, they believed in the law of cause and sequence. Even in the earliest scripture, we find the belief in this law of cause and sequence, that is the law of Karma.
