________________ During. Before and After Death for yourself (pure Soul)? Beware and be prepared to face the great betrayal. At the time of death, nature strips you of your name and all that belongs to that name: your bank balance, property family and even the clothes on your back. Everything. So then if you ask, "What will come along with me? The answer is All the conflicts you created with those you met in this life will accompany you.' Everything is confiscated by nature when you die, therefore should you not do something for your real Self: your Soul? Send Gift Packages For Your Next Life When you do things for people other than your own relatives, when you give them happiness through your donations of food, medicine, or knowledge, you bind merit karma (punya) and will reap the rewards of such deeds in your next life. If you have lived a life of non-violence such that no single being experiences fear from you, this again will reap great merit karma for your next life. If it were possible for anyone to take material things with him into his next life, people would take everything. They would even take out a loan of millions of dollars. So it is a good thing that no one can take anything with him or her. The Illusion Called Maya Maya makes you take birth, get married and it also causes your death. Whether you like it or not, you do not have a choice in this matter. But it is certain that it is not maya that dominates. You are the owner and so everything has been played out according to your own wishes. This life is the net result, balance sheet of all that you had wished for in your previous life and based on that, maya is now running everything. So there is no point in During. Before and After Death complaining now. You had endorsed this final balance sheet and placed it in the hands of maya. Maya is the force that makes you forget the Self. Life Is A Prison Questioner: What is life in your enlightened view? Dadashri: Life in my enlightened view is a prison. There are four kinds of prisons: Those who are in heaven are in the prison of simple surveillance with all the comforts. The human beings are in a simple prison. The animals are in a prison of intense labor and hardship. Those in hell are in a prison of hell with life long pain and torture. The Saw Is Cutting This Log (Life) From The Moment Of Birth The body is slowly dying every second, but do people realize this? It is not until a log completely falls apart in two pieces that people say the log has been cut. Nevertheless it was in the process of being cut from the moment the saw first touches it. Fear Of Death There is constant fear in this world. The world is never void of fear for even a moment. And for whatever time one does not have any fear, he is living in ignorance of the real nature of this world. This happens because people are asleep even when their eyes are open (i.e. people are in a state of ignorance of the reality of this world). Questioner: It is said that the Soul never dies. It is eternal. Dadashri: The Soul never dies, but as long as you have not become the Soul (Self-realized), you will experience fear. Do you not fear death? If something were to happen to your body,
