Death
5
Total Engagement In Service Of Others
Use your mind, speech, body and soul for others. If you
use them for your own self, you will reincarnate in lower life form
as a tree. In your imprisoned form you will be forced to serve
others. People will enjoy your fruits and use your wood. You will
suffer as a tree for hundreds of years. That is why God tells you to
use your mind, speech, body and soul for others. Having done
this if you have any problems, turn to Him.
Other Life Forms To Visit
Questioner: After leaving the body do you have to come
back here?
Dadashri: There is nowhere else to go. Right here around
us, all these oxen and cows, dogs and cats are none other than
our own uncles, aunts and other relatives from our past life. See
how they stare at you and sometimes even lick you with love? So
do not hurt or harm them. Take good care of them.
Return Ticket
Questioner: Why is the animal life form, for example,
cows and buffaloes an integral part of the cycles of birth and
death?
Dadashri: For endless lives people have passed through
animal kingdom as they rise towards human birth. Of these only
about fifteen percent will rise higher. The rest have come here
with a return ticket to go back to the lower life forms. People who
cheat their customers by selling adulterated goods and those that
take enjoyment from things that do not belong to them, all earn a
return ticket. All such tendencies will lead to life in the animal
kingdom.
