Some people believe that when one passes away, he either leaves all his troubles behind and enters into the peace of paradise or he enters into an everlasting suffering. Such an assumption is not in accord with reality. Man leaves his physical body, but he still has his astral and mental bodies, plus all his memories of many lives if he is advanced.
Our astral body is sometimes the cause of all suffering tasted through our physical body. And very often it is the mental body and our thoughts that lead our physical existence into paths of suffering, pain, and karmic involvements and complications, The physical life reflects all that exists in the subtle planes, but, if the reflecting agent is taken away, it does not mean that the originating source of the reflection does not still exist. We carry with us all our troubles into the Subtle World; or, it is even better to say, we become aware of them in the Subtle World.
Thus we can say that death is not an escape, as if all your bills are paid, all your problems are solved, and suddenly you enter into the Subtle World as a new being. It is human imagination that created the concept of beginning and end. There is only one reality, which can be termed CONTINUITY.
