During, Before and After Death
Dadashri: Is that so? What is one to do in a world like
this?
closed. So all you can do whenever you remember him is to ask the Lord to grant him peace. Whenever you remember your brother, you should pray for his peace, wherever he is. What else can you do?
Under God's Trust
People bind relationships in routine words like 'welcome or good bye' but do not take responsibility for them. Do you take any responsibility? Not even for your wife?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: What are you saying! A man dotes on his wife and tells her he cannot live without her and yet he would not go into the funeral pyre with her!
Anniversary of Death Questioner: What should the family members do on the anniversary of the death of their loved one?
Dadashri: They should pray to God and ask God to bless their loved one wherever he or she may be.
Where Has The Loved One Gone? Questioner: How can we know where a person is after his death?
Dadashri: You need a special kind of knowledge for that. Even if you were to know this, it has no use or value. If you were to send deep inner prayers and messages, it will reach him.
So you want to know someone's whereabouts? Have you lost one of your relatives?
Questioner: My dear brother passed away very recently.
Dadashri: He does not think about you and you keep thinking about him? Do you know what it means when a person dies? It means that all accounts (karmic), his and yours, are now
Ask whatever questions you have. Ask about a way to reach God and how to get rid of any obstacles on that way, so that I can get rid of them for you.
Questioner: My son died in an accident. What is the cause of that accident?
Dadashri: Whatever you see happening around you in this world with your naked eyes; whatever you hear with your ears, is all relative truth; it is not the absolute truth. How can your son be yours when even this body of yours does not remain as your own? It is only because of social and worldly interactions that he is considered your son. He is not your son in reality. In reality, not even your body belongs to you. Only that which remains with you eternally is considered yours. So your belief that your son is really yours makes you unhappy and creates problems. Now that your son is gone, it was God's will, so you have to let go.
Questioner: That is true. What I had was God's property and he took it back.
Dadashri: Yes, this is all God's estate.
Questioner: Is it because of our bad karma that he died in such a way?
Dadashri: Yes, your son's bad karma, and your bad karma. If your karmas are good then the results will be good also.
