Namaste Visti,

 

><That's right, what are the exceptions?>

>Most choose when to die.

 

Oh, well, I would say that's the exception on the exception then. You have

to explain me then why so many people who have accident or heavy disease

don't choose to die immediately, but almost in every case have to suffer

weeks, months or even years before they die, while if they had the choice,

I'm sure they would like to die rather than suffer in abominable

circumstances. What about people who are in coma for months before they

leave the body, and will be seen to die as soon as the Sun enters into

trines to their mrtyupada? Because they suddenly choose to die?

 

Visti, we are not the master over life or death. When the Creator so

ordains, a child is conceived, even so when He ordains, we leave the body.

We are not the do-er, we are only a passenger in this yantra of the body.

Except for some very advanced devotees like Bhishma or some powerful yogis,

I wouldn't say anybody in this world has the choice when to live or die.

mare krsna rakhe ke, rakhe krsna mare ke

When Krsna wants you to die, who will protect you?

When Krsna wants you to live, who can kill you?

 

Of course, if you speak about suicide, that's another thing, but still that

will be indicated in the persons' chart.

 

Your sishya,

Dhira Krsna dasa
