When you finally discover the truth that sets you free from the prison of the ego, that is a blessed life, indeed, but that is only the beginning of the journey back home to love. Then, love has to be practiced moment to moment until you become that love. When that love has so permeated your being that all karma is balanced and no new karma is being created, you are said to be enlightened, and your soul no longer needs to return to the physical plane.
