Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Dear all, There are seven compelling rebirth surahs which are found scattered in the Holy Qur'an and must be studied by the Ummah to confirm rebirth of all humans, and not 'graves opening up', to face the Resurrection and Last Judgment: 1. Surah 2.28 Al Baqarah (The Heifer) 2. Surah 4:97-99 Al Nisa (The Women) 3. Surah 22:5 Al Hajj (The Pilgrimage) 4. Surah 23:12-15 Al-Mu'minum (The True Believers) 5. Surah 39:42 Al Zumar (Crowds) 6. Surah 56:60-61 Al Waqi'ah (The Inevitable) 7. Surah 71:13-14 Nuh (Noah) According to www.al-islam.org there are " some people who think that the Qur'an is to be read merely for the purpose of obtaining spiritual reward (thawab) without need of understanding anything of its contents. They continuously recite the Qur'an, but if they are even once asked) " Do you understand the meaning of what you are reading? " they cannot answer. " The majority of Muslims do not believe in rebirth due to ignorance of their own Koran. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that 90% don't read, write or speak Arabic, the language of the Koran. Thus Muslims are waiting for 'graves to open up' during the Resurrection, an ignorance corrected by Shri Mataji. According to Her there " are lots of myths in the Bible and one of them is that at the Time of Resurrection your bodies will come out of the graves. This is not only for Christians, but also for the Muslims and Jews. Think of this — What remains in the grave after many years? Only a few bones. And if these bones came out how can you give them Realization? Think of it. It is a big myth. Not possible logically. In Nal Damyanti Akhyan they have clearly given that when the Kalyug will come, all these seekers who are seeking in the hills and mountains will be born again, and they will be given their Self- Realization! Their Kundalinis will be awakened and that is logical, because that is what we are doing today. " So how are these rebirth surahs in harmony with Hinduism during the Resurrection and last Judgment? i quote www.hinduwebsite.com's clarification on the subject of soul reincarnation (rebirth): " According to Hinduism a soul reincarnates again and again on earth till it becomes perfect and reunites with it Source. During this process the soul enters into many bodies, assumes many forms and passes through many births and deaths. This concept is summarily described in the following verse of the Bhagavad gita: " Just as a man discards worn out clothes and puts on new clothes, the soul discards worn out bodies and wears new ones. " (2.22) According to Hinduism a being has to live many lives and under go many experiences before it attains perfection and becomes one with the Divine. The Hindu theory of creation suggests that creation begins when the individual souls becomes separated from the undifferentiated One. It continues as the evolution of life and consciousness in matter progresses. During this process some of souls journey back to God through the transformation of matter or prakriti in which they were hidden. The remaining souls continue their existence and rejoin Him in the end, not through transformation but through a process of great destruction. Thus the great cycle of creation, stretching over millions of years, comes to its logical end. Once the creative process is switched on, the individual soul hides behind the false personality called jiva, the subtle body and an outer personality called the mind and the body or the ego. The is made up of the subtle body, the subtle mind and a little bit of discretionary intelligence called buddhi. The ego is made up of the gross physical body, the surface consciousness consisting of innumerable desires and impulses. Since the Jiva and the ego have no idea of Truth or reality, they suffers from ignorance and illusion. They succumbs to illusion and suffer from the delusion of the outer mind. They behave selfishly as if they are different from the rest of creation and end up with suffering, indulging in acts of self perpetuation. At the end of each life, the physical body and the gross mind return to the elements of the earth. But the Jiva and the soul survive death. Depending upon the nature of their past deeds, and the number of subtle bodies it has developed, the Jiva either ascends to the heaven or descends into the hell. Hiding the indwelling spirit in its core, the Jiva stays in these worlds till it exhausts the fruits of its good or bad actions. Having learned some new lessons, it then returns to the earth again to take another birth. Thus the Jiva undergoes innumerable births and deaths. It becomes bound to the mortal life and the laws of nature. Death provides temporary relief, but exposes the individual Jiva to the risk of falling into greater depths of suffering. Even the Buddha who founded Buddhism did not discard this theory, though he was silent on the existence of God and did not confirm the existence of soul. The Buddha preached that not soul but the ever changing individual character, which moves from one birth to another birth, till all changing and becoming comes to an end, through the transformation of character on the lines of the Eightfold path. Hinduism speaks of the existence of heavens above and hells below. The former are sun filled, inhabited by gods and innumerable divine souls. The latter are dark worlds (asurya lokas) and populated by all the dark and demonic forces. The individual souls go into these worlds according to their deeds. But they do not stay there permanently till the end of destruction. They go there basically as a consequence of their actions, either to enjoy or to suffer. In either case they learn the lesson and come back to earth to start a new earthly life all over again. Thus according to Hinduism, life in heaven may be longer, but still it is a mortal life only. There, a Jiva may enjoy extreme pleasures, but it would not last for ever. Once its karma is exhausted, the Jiva is thrown back from the heights of heavenly glory into the turmoil of unstable earthly life . The Hindu concept of reincarnation is alien to western people. It is mostly misunderstood and misinterpreted, partly because of ignorance and partly because of some inherent mental blockage natural to the single minded pursuit of religious faith along rutted paths. It generated a lot of controversy because it directly challenges the western notion of one life, one heaven and the final day of judgement. Today this fundamental concept of Hinduism is finding many new adherents and believers all over the world. The reasons are many. Firstly, a great mass of evidence is gathering in favour of reincarnation through the personal experiences of many who chanced to remember their past lives and were able to record their experiences in stunning details for the posterity. Secondly the modern theories of hypnotic regression are gaining acceptance in many parts of the world. There are now many institutions, which help interested individuals to remember their past lives as a part of their spiritual awakening. Thirdly many enlightened psychic masters like Edgar Cayce confirmed beyond doubt that reincarnation is not just a theory or imagination, but a definite reality. The Hindu concept of reincarnation is based upon the logical notion that life on earth did not emerge suddenly, but evolved gradually, involving great epoch of time and a vast multitude of beings. During this process the static and inert consciousness of matter yielded place to the dynamic movement of life and consciousness. The animal tendencies gave way to human reason and humane thoughts. Extending the same logic we may further say that in future, from this part animal, part human and part divine being, there would emerge a spiritual man of divine consciousness, the Superman of Sri Aurobindo, with supra mental consciousness. " http://hinduwebsite.com/reincarnation.htm Shri Mataji's message of the Last Judgment and Resurrection will be spread by removing religious ignorance regarding this promised Blossom Time. Despite Her unprecedented knoweldge unravelling the deepest mysteries of the Bible and Koran parables, most SYs continue to refrain from discussing them. All they want to engage new seekers in is the subtle system, a race they have been soundly beaten time and again. SYs must never forget that the Adi Shakti was sent specifically to announce this Great Event to all humanity. In Her late 70 and early 80s speeches She exhorted us to rise up and do so. Despite all encouragement few rose to the occasion, and the present state of Sahaja Yoga reflects this failure. The success of Her advent will depend entirely on those who relentlessly work towards this goal. The chakra charade must come to an end for the sake of Truth, Dharma and our sacred duty to humanity. We must stop this deception because it goes against the very core of my soul! jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
