Do souls sometimes wander after leaving the body?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Souls do not simply vanish; they linger in the spaces between, waiting for the right womb to embrace them, whether as ghosts or as divine beings."
According to Osho, some souls do wander between lives: mediocre souls enter a womb almost immediately, but the very low and very high must wait for a matching 'womb' - inferior ones appearing as ghosts, superior ones as devas - until a suitable couple appears. In Bardo instructions, the dying are urged to stay alert and not rush, consciously choosing the right birth.
Yes; average souls are reborn fast, while very low or very high souls wait around like ghosts or gods until parents that match them appear.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces fear of death by framing the interim state as purposeful waiting.
- Encourages conscious dying practices (Bardo) to choose a more suitable birth.
- Motivates spiritual growth to attract higher-quality conditions for the next life.
