Death
to undergo the same amount of wandering before he returns to
the human form.
Dadashri: No, it is not like that. Having achieved the human
form once, one does not have to go through the cycle of 8.4
million births again to be born as a human again. If a person has
an animal-like mentality, he will reincarnate in the animal form for
a maximum of eight births. And that too will only be for a period
of one to two hundred years. After that, he returns back to the
human form. Once the human form is achieved, he does not have
to wander 8.4 million lives.
Questioner: Does the same soul wander for 8.4 million
times?
Dadashri: Yes, the same soul.
Questioner: But the Soul is pure, is it not?
Dadashri: The Soul is pure, even now. It has remained
pure even after wandering through 8.4 million wombs. It has
been pure, it is pure and it will always be pure.
Next Life According to Wishes of the Last Hour
Questioner: Is a person’s rebirth based on his desires and
passions present within him at the time of his death?
Dadashri: Yes. But when people say that the person who
died had such and such wishes, such last minute wishes cannot be
created. They occur as a consequence of the balance sheet. It is
the balance sheet of his entire life that comes forward in the final
hour before his death, and it is this balance sheet that determines
which life form he will enter.
From a human to a human?
