Kaushitaki Upanishad 1.7
intermediate
ये वै के चास्माल्लोकात्प्रयन्ति चन्द्रमसमेव ते सर्वे गच्छन्ति।
ye vai ke cāsmāllokātprayanti candramasameva te sarve gacchanti |
"All those who depart from this world go to the moon."
What This Means:
The king begins to teach: after death, all souls first go to the moon.
Going Deeper:
The moon represents the realm of the ancestors (pitriloka) - an intermediate station where the soul's destiny is determined.
How To Apply This:
Consider that death may be the beginning of a journey, not simply an ending.
