In Hinduism, it is the soul that is immortal, while the body belongs to the material realm, and therefore it
is the body that is burnt and sacrificed
in the funeral ritual, but there is also the correction of the soul. This
correction continues until the soul merges with the Absolute Spirit in the wheel of samsara.
When salvation takes place, the material aspect of the universe and the human within it will remain in
the material realm, but the essence of the souls comes from the Absolute One before the divine realm, so
it will reach it when the souls are saved. Therefore, when the four yugas are over, the apocalypse will take
place. For this reason, yugas can be described as universal reincarnation. Brahma will remain with the truly
liberated souls. However, this universe with divine creation and divinity-sanctity will continue to exist wit
-
hout its reality. Unity with the absolute god Brahman is the liberation of the soul from the wheel of samsara.
