Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 See the real Self and then this confusion with the body will vanish. you are eternal. The other will be found to be eternal. Until this truth is realized there will always be this grief due to wrong identification. Birth and death and rebirth should only make you investigate the question and discover that there are no birth or rebirths: they relate to the body and not to the Self. Q: Do you see the dead? M: Yes, in dreams. Q: Why does a soul die in childhood? It does not seem fair because it has not had enough experience of life to win realization. M: You do not know the child's viewpoint! Yours is simply of the intellect. We and our children are all from God and in God. God takes care of us and our children. Q: What about after death? M: Enquire first, `Who or what is it that is born? It is the body, not you. Why trouble about things beyond you, like death, when your Self is here and present? How long does on stay in other worlds between birth and death? M: The sense of time is relative. In a dream you may live a whole day's events in a couple of hours. In the subtle body of the death-world you may do the same and live what seems like a thousand year, although by our time it may be only a hundred years. Q: They say that choice is offered to us to enjoy merits or demerits after our death. Is that right? M: Why these questions relating to after death? Why ask, `Was I born? Am I reaping the fruits of my past karma?' and so on. They will not be raised after you have been asleep for a while. Why? Are you different from the one in sleep?
