Death
11
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
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
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
