Dadashri: No time at all. It is here as well. Even while it is still leaving the body, it is over there in the womb (yoni). That is because there is timing involved, when the sperm and the ovum unite. When it is about to leave the body, first the union occurs over there, and once all that comes together, it leaves. If not, then it would not leave from here, because if it did leave, what would it eat over there? It may have gone there to the womb, but how would it sustain itself there? There is only the man’s sperm and the mother's ovum, which it consumes out of hunger, the moment it arrives. Once it has eaten, it develops into an embryo. Is this not all scientific circumstantial evidence?!
So it does not even take long to leave from here. Now if over there, the time is not yet right for it, over here the dying will linger on, moaning from suffering. You would say, "Why are you not leaving yet? Hurry up and go'. And it would say, “No, they are still not ready for me over there! Do they not go on moaning at the last moment? When the adjustments are made over there, is when it starts to leave from here. And once it leaves from here, everything is methodical over there. The Balance Sheet of the Current Life
Dictates the Next Life- Form
Questioner: Is a person's next birth based on the wishes (vaasna) of his life, before he dies?
Dadashri: Yes, according to the wishes (vaasna). Do they not say things like, before the person's death, he had such and such a wish (vaasna)? But that vaasna is not something newly created by him. That is a balance sheet of one's whole life. The balance sheet of whatever karma you did throughout your life, draws up during the final hour of your death. And it is this balance sheet that determines the next state of existence (gati).
Questioner: After death, not everyone is born again as a human being. Some become dogs or cows.
