A person must create a soul by following a teaching which can lead to this aim or 'go nowhere' upon death of his body.

Should a person be able to receive the teaching and find a school, upon the death of the physical body they will 'go elsewhere.' Humans are born asleep, live in sleep and die in sleep, only imagining that they are awake with few exceptions.
