Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 In another letter Guy answered my questions, which led to others. He wrote down my questions and Bhagavan's answers. Question: Is reincarnation a fact? Bhagavan: You are incarnated now, aren't you? Then you will be so again. But as the body is illusion then the illusion will repeat itself and keep on repeating itself until you find the Real Self. Question: What is death and what is birth? Bhagavan: Only the body has death and birth, and it [the body] is illusion. There is, in Reality, neither birth nor death. Question: How much time may elapse between death and rebirth? Bhagavan: Perhaps one is reborn within a year, three years or thousands of years. Who can say? Anyway what is time? Time does not exist. Question: Why have we no memory of past lives? Bhagavan: Memory is a faculty of the mind and part of the illusion. Why do you want to remember other lives that are also illusions? If you abide within the Self, there is no past or future and not even a present since the Self is out of time--timeless.
