Five Senses Only for One More Life!
Questioner: When a living being (jiva) takes another birth, do all the five senses and the mind go with it?
Dadashri: No, no, nothing at all. All the senses are exhausted and they end. The senses have died. So, none of the senses or anything else goes along with the Atma. Only angerpride-deceit-greed goes along with it. In the causal body (karan sharira), anger-pride-deceit-greed everything, is included. And the subtle body (sookshma sharira), what is that like? It stays together with the Atma, until it attains final liberation (moksha). No matter where the birth occurs, this subtle body (sookshma sharira) is always with it.
Nevertheless, all the senses and everything else, dies. And from the causal body, a new one arises. The senses have only arisen for the sake of being exhausted, so they are constantly being exhausted. And as they become exhausted, they finish. So when you ask a dying man, “say something! Uncle say something', he would just utter, 'le, le, le...”, that is because the tongue has gone and he cannot speak anymore, his speech is exhausted and finished. The same thing happens to the eyes. Even the ears are affected; therefore everything becomes exhausted. So these senses or anything else do not go with it. It will receive new and fresh senses. The eyes will be first class, the ears will be first class. Then just keep listening to the radio with your earplugs! How Long Does the Relationship with the
Subtle Body Last? So the Atma alone does not leave the body after death. The Atma is accompanied by the karmas, referred to as the causal body (karan sharira). And thirdly, the electrical body goes with it too. The three leave together. As long as the worldly life (sansar) exists, every living being (jiva) certainly has an electrical body within it! When the causal body (karan sharira) is created, the electrical body is definitely there with it. The
