During, Before and After Death
43
During, Before and After Death Soul is in its own state. When the ego stops, this cycle also stops.
Thereafter No Fear of Even Death
Therefore, not only will you remember this entire Gnan, but also you will become the embodiment of that Gnan. Then you will not fear anything.
Awareness at the Time of Death
Only until one is alive!
Questioner: After acquiring Gnan one experiences bliss. Is this only for this birth or for all the births to come?
Questioner: Dada how will all the karma bound in this life, prior to receiving this Gnan, be destroyed?
Dadashri: It is permanent. After Gnan, one becomes a non-doer and consequently will not bind new karmas. He will attain moksha within one or two births. There is no choice in the matter. This path is not for those who do not desire liberation. Those who do not like liberation should not take this path.
Questioner: Will we remember this Gnan in our next life?
Dadashri: Everything will be the same. There will be no changes. Because you have stopped binding new karmas, no confusion will ever arise again.
Questioner: So does that mean that in our past lives, we have created karmas, which continue to perpetuate the confusion?
Dadashri: In your past lives, karmas were bound because of your ignorance of your real Self and in this life you are experiencing the effect of those karmas. The effects have to be endured. If a person has not met a Gnani, he will continue to bind new causes simultaneously as he is faced to endure the effects of his past karma. The causes he creates in this life will result as effects in his next life. And thus the cycle of cause and effect, effect and cause will continue, until he meets a Gnani Purush. The Gnani Purush puts a stop to the creation of causes and all that remains will be the effects, which one will have to endure. New karmas will no longer be bound.
Dadashri: While you are still alive, you should destroy them through repentance and pratikraman. Not all of them will be destroyed, but they will definitely become weaker. Then in the next life, because they are already weak, they will just crumble away.
Questioner: Does the bondage of karmas weaken through repentance?
Dadashri: Yes, they become weak. Only certain kinds of bondage are weakened at their roots through repentance. There is tremendous strength in our pratikraman. Do it with Dada Bhagwan as your witness and it will bring tremendous results.
After this Gnan New Account for Mahavideh Kshetra
Due to the forces of karma, there may still be one or two more births left for you. Let them be. But after that you will definitely go to Simandhar Swami, the current and present Tirthankar living in Mahavideh Kshetra. From now on all accounts you have brought with you, no matter how strong and hard, will eventually come to an end. There is no other way for them!
Questioner: Do the forces of karma diminish through pratikraman?
