these accompany the Self. Nothing else goes with it.
Questioner: Does one receive human birth over and
over or is there also a birth perhaps in another life form?
Dadashri: One goes to every life form from here. As of
now about seventy percent of humans here, will go to the animal
kingdom.
Therefore from the human form, one can go into the
animal form, to celestial form or even to hell and then back
into the human form. He becomes whatever he binds (causes).
People nowadays bind karmas worthy of the animal life, do
they not?
Questioner: Many are doing animal-like karmas indeed.
Dadashri: Their ‘reservations’ have already been made
and the ‘tickets’ have been issued. What is the point of criticizing
those who cheat, lie, and exploit others when they have already
got their passage to the animal kingdom booked and confirmed?
Aimless Wandering In The Four Life Forms
Questioner: Do humans go to a lower life form?
Dadashri: From the human form they can even go to the
celestial form and become one of the topmost devas. And if
they go lower, they may even end up in the worst, most hated
place possible.
It is only in the human form that one binds karmas. No
other life forms bind karmas. In other life forms they only
experience the effects of their karma. In the human form, one
causes new karmas and also experiences effects of past karmas.
He does both. And that is why it is possible for a person to go
to any of the four major life forms. These are: celestial, human,
animal, and hellish life forms. The cows and all other animals we
see and the devas too, only experience the karma effects. They
do not bind karmas.
