Death
of the Self, the Soul. It is the effect of whatever causes that were
created. If someone were to give you a lot of respect, you would
feel happy and if someone were to insult you, you would become
angry. The outward expression of your anger or happiness is not
important; it is your internal bhaav (deep inner intent, meditation)
that charges or causes new karma, which will then discharge in
your next life. The discharge will be in the form of an effect at that
time. Your mind, your speech and your body are all an effect.
Any suffering or enjoyment experienced during the discharge of
an effect, leads to new causes, which in turn will become ‘effective’
in the next life. In this manner, the cycle of ‘cause and effect’,
‘effect and cause’ perpetuates.
Causes of new karma can only be stopped in the human
life. There is only effect in all other life forms. In human beings
there is both causes and effects. When I give you the knowledge
of your real Self, Gnan, new causes will stop, and no new effects
will occur.
Until Then The Wandering Continues…
The effective body refers to the three charged batteries of
the mind, speech and the body, which create new causes. So in
this life, these batteries continue to discharge while simultaneously
new batteries are being charged. The Gnani Purush puts a stop
to the charging and so only the old ones continue to discharge.
After death, the soul enters another womb. Until one
becomes Self-realized, it continues to wander from womb to
womb. One becomes one with the mind, with the intellect and this
is the reason why new causes are created and the worldly life
continues over and over again. To become one with the mind and
the intellect is to plant a seed in a womb. Lord Krishna has said
that as the seeds fall into the womb, the worldly life continues.
