[Guest guest]

The living entity immediately gives up the present body and enters another.

SB 4.29.76-77

 

The next body has to be immediately accepted according to karma.

SB 5.13.1

 

At the appropriate time, one's next body is immediately chosen, and both the

individual soul and the Supersoul transfer to that particular bodily

machine.

SB 6.1.31

 

Because nature is so perfect, at the time of your death, what is the mental

condition, you will get a similar body, next life. Karmana daiva-netrena [sB

3.31.1]. Because daiva, Krsna is with you. Krsna will see, "Now he is

thinking of become a king. Now he is thinking to become a dog." So Krsna

immediately gives you. You take the body of a dog. You take the body of a

lion. You take the body of a king. Take the body. Similarly, if you are

thinking of Krsna, take the body of a Krsna, immediately.

Bhagavad-gita 2.9 -- London, August 15, 1973

 

The nature will immediately offer you a similar body according to the

thinking at the time of your death.

You can try to understand. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti: [bg. 4.9] we

accept another body immediately after death. It is said just like go

forward, when the first step, you find it is secure, you take up the second

step. Similarly, as soon as the next body is arranged by superior

arrangement, we give up this body and enter into another gross body.

Immediately. Immediately we are transferred to a mother's womb for

manufacturing another gross body. This is the law.

Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.22 -- Vrndavana, November 2, 1972

 

As soon as I am desiring something, immediately my body is formed.

Immediately a particular type of body begins to form, and as soon as I am

mature to change, my next body I get according to my desire.

Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.1.1 -- New York, April 10, 1969

 

So after death -- after death means when this body is finished -- then you

get another body immediately, because you have already made the field work,

what kind of body you will get.

Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.26-27 -- Philadelphia, July 12, 1975

 

As I have several times discussed that the, at the time of death, the mental

condition will help you to have another next body, mental condition. So if

your mental condition is very nice, whatever you think, God has given you

chance: you get next immediately.
