Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hari OM! Dear Ones, I have one question,... What really happens one dies... as per our scriptures it is said.according to the Sanchitha Karma, we will take the appropriate body with the situations, environment.... etccc.... Suppose one had the wishes which can be fulfilled only on Sathya Yuga, or Dwapara Yuga? Is it like that the BMI complex will wait till next Sathya Yuga happens? Please guide With Love & OM! Krishna Prasad Dare to give up the comfort of the 'known' and venture into the 'unknown' The more we know, the more we will come to realize what we do not know. If we want to achieve our true potential and live life to the fullest. As Poojya Gurudev said it, " Open your eyes. Burst your shell. Spread your wings and fly!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Namaste Shri Krishna Prasad-ji. I see it this way. Your question is valid only if sequential time is valid and the world we are in is the only 'reality' that is there. We can't demand that 2009 follow 2008 although it appears to happen so before our ignorant eyes. If you retrograde to age 10 now, will you ever know that you have retrograded? If one who dies now suddenly finds himself in Hitler's Germany, will he ever know that he was in the 21st century with us here 'before'? All 'times'(the yugAs which have taken place and which are yet to come) exist together in Brahman without differentiation. So, why can't there be a parallel reality where the current period is Satya Yuga. There could also be another parallel plane where it is now DwApara Yuga which is already long past as per our mundane reckoning. We might be flitting between these innumerable realities with our wishes finding fulfilment every 'instant'. However, bound by our ignorant notion of sequential time, we just know that not. Of course, I have no scriptural base to support these contentions. Best regards. Madathil Nair _______________ advaitin , " Krishna Prasad " <rkrishp99 wrote: >> I have one question,...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Shree Krishna Prasadji - PraNAms When one dies first thing that happens is he cannot participate in the advaitin list. Second thing is just because if one wishes it will not happen unless he is sarva shaktiman or omnipotent – in that case it is less likely that he will die. Number of demons tried it but could not succeed. Even if I wish for things to happen, it will not happen while living, how it can happen when I die. For anything to happen I have to work for it, right? Wishing has to be supported by perspiration. Karma involves besides sankalpa action that is required to get the appropriate results. Result depends on the action. If I throw a stone and wish that it will reach all the way to the moon, nothing will happen - result depends on the action than on my wishful thinking. Otherwise we would have all those cronies becoming president of US instead of only one of cronies. Karma gives appropriate result - that is the law. If he has worked towards going to satya loka (besides just wishing) then he will go, proides he actions deserve that result. If 10 people work for promotion, only one will get. The rest perhaps may get a pat on the back or stab on the back depending on how he did it. But let us be concerned about the life than life after death - how to transcend the cause-effect realm to go beyond the death to realize that we never die. Hari Om!

[Posting 40104] Dear Sri Sadananda, An amendment to the above statement : TO GO BEYOND THE DELUSION OF BIRTH AND DEATH. This is what Vedanta teaches " tvaM ajaH, tvaM amaraH " With affectionate and respectful regards, Sreenivasa Murthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hello, Well, no one really knows. We have teachings, doctrines, dogma from every known religion. We have all those beliefs. But no one really KNOWS. No one has come back to tell us. And even if someone had come back and told us about it, that would not be our experience of it. This is one of those questions that will always bring one back to the original question without ever finding an answer. Nice to debate it, though, see all the various opinions. ______________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Dear All: Since as it was pointed out, we may never know what " will " happen when " we " will die, another point of view may be to inquire what happened before " we " were born (since it feels it will be pretty much the same thing). We know that " we " were born, right? Or at least, " this " body (and Mind and Intellect) was born. How could we know it?... In a way, " We " had to be there to " notice " the transition before the " no-body " to the " body " or the appearance of " our mind " from " no-mind " , otherwise how could we notice the " birth " of something?? The ultimate question being: That that " witnessed " the appearance of BMI, is That really born? Did we ever noticed the appearance of That? and why/how is it that we couldn't notice it? In a way, the only logical answer might be that We are That... and " assuming " that identity, we were never born (since there is no possibility of witnessing the birth of That), so... We might never die either... Yours in All, Mouna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste, Only Gita (Ch. 10:2-3) could have said this so beautifully: na me viduH suragaNaaH prabhavaM na maharShayaH . ahamaadirhi devaanaaM maharShiiNaaM cha sarvashaH .. 10\-2.. yo maamajamanaadiM cha vetti lokamaheshvaram.h . asammuuDhaH sa martyeShu sarvapaapaiH pramuchyate .. 10\-3.. 2. Neither the gods nor the great sages know My majesty. For, in all respects, I am the source of the gods and the great sages. 3. He who knows Me-the birthless, the beginningless, and the great Lord of the worlds, he, the undeluded one among mortals, becomes freed from all sins.
