be passed one by one. All the decisions made during the planning, keep passing and come into effect (rupak). You will have to understand this, will you not?
With the Atma... Questioner: If I am going to have another birth (punarjanma), then my Atma will go with me, will it not?
Dadashri: It comes with you! The Atma leaves from here. At that time, the kashays (anger-pride-deceit-greed) of the body and whatever else; is all swept up! That is because of the wrong belief you have, that 'I am this'. And when you say 'I am', it would mean that everything then becomes mine; therefore anger-pride-deceit-greed, occur. When the Atma leaves, the anger-pride-deceit-greed, are swept up and it leaves. And it leaves the body in such a way, making sure that nothing is left behind.
Now with the Atma, what else goes along? Along with it go the karan sharira, which is the causal body and the subtle body (sookshma sharira), which is referred to as the electrical body. As long as this gross body exists, and as long as it is sansari (involved in worldly life interaction), there is an electrical body in every soul (jiva). And when you go to the final liberation (moksha), that electrical body is released, and the real form (swaroop) of the Atma alone goes. Here, a Guarantee of Just One More Life!
Questioner: Once the vision (darshan) of the Atma's real form (swaroop) is attained, the living being (jiva) remains constantly in the form of the Atma, so does the living being still have to go through another birth (punarjanma)?
Dadashri: No. However, one more avatar (lifetime) still remains before final liberation (moksha). That is because this is according to my Agnas (directives). To follow the Agnas is considered the absence of adverse meditation (dharma dhyan).
