Half-truths can always be consistent, but a total truth is
always inconsistent because in a total truth the opposite is also included.
The moment you know your past lives, there will be a spiritual
revolution and evolution. Then you will start from where you had left off in
your last life; otherwise you will get lost in endless lives and reach nowhere.
It is possible to make you remember your previous births
only if you have achieved the capacity to remain undisturbed in the midst of
the very difficult memories of this life.
In the interval between two births, there are two types of
souls. One type is of evil souls. For them it is difficult to find a womb for
another birth. I call such souls pretas,
evil spirits. The other type consists of good souls. Them I call devas – gods.
For such souls also it is difficult to find suitable wombs for taking another
birth.
Between these two are the majority of souls in which there
is no fundamental difference, but only a difference of character, personality
and mental make-up.
………after awaking from sleep your dream is remembered for
about one hour. Similarly, after taking a new birth, for almost six months, up
to the age of six months, almost everything is remembered. Afterwards it slowly
becomes lost. Those who are very imaginative or very sensitive may remember a
little longer, but those who have made efforts and who have experimented with
being aware during the previous life can remember for a long time.
……all religions of the world have decreed one hour before
sleeping at night and one hour after waking in the morning as the best time for
prayers. It is known as sandhyakal – the twilight time and the time of dawn…….
Similarly, the six-month period after birth and the six-month period before
death are equally valuable. …..a person who utilizes properly the one hour
before sleep and the one hour after waking will positively know when that
six-month period before death begins.
………some body may behave in such a way that it will cause a
soul to enter into it. …….. There are two type of bodies which are in a state
of deep receptivity. One is of those that are in great fear. Those who are in
great fear cause their souls to contract within their bodies – so much so that
they vacate some parts of the body completely. Some nearby souls drift into
these empty parts …….
Secondly, a soul can enter a body when it is in a deep
prayerful moment. In such prayerful moments also, the soul contracts. But
during fearful moments, only such souls drift in which are in great misery and
agony, that see only nightmares. Those are the ones we call evil spirits.
Because a frightened person happens to be in a ugly and dirty state, no higher
soul can enter him.
……..A prayerful person becomes filled with so much inner
fragrance …..that only the highest souls take interest in him…..Thus, there is
a complete science for invoking devatas
– gods. These devatas do not descend from some heaven, nor do those whom we
call evil spirits come from hell or some devil’s world. They are all present
right here, coexisting with us.
Mohammedans will burn lobhan
and benzoin. This is a method of
inviting good spirits by creating a specific fragrant atmosphere. Hindus also
burn incense, and they light a flame made from ghee. These things appear to be
ritualistic formalities today, but at one time they had a deeper meaning.
Hindus will chant a specific mantra which becomes an
invocation. It is not necessary that there should be a meaning to the mantra…..
With a meaningless mantra nothing extraneous can enter with the passage of
time. That is why all mantras of depth are meaningless. …….They are only
sounds. There are methods for the chanting of these sounds. If there is a
specified beat, intensity and rhythm, the soul that is invoked will enter
instantly
…….take the example of Mohammed. He always said that he was
only a paigamber, a messenger,
because Mohammed never felt that whatever he was experiencing was his own. The
voice which came to him from above was very clear. ……With Moses too, the same
thing happened. The voice descended upon him. In order for this voice to
descend, some great divine spirit must use someone as a medium. But everybody
cannot be used as a medium. This capacity and purity to become a vehicle, a
medium, is not a minor thing. Communication can only be possible if a capable
vehicle is available.
In the interval between births, all development is blocked.
That is why no devatas can reach salvation while in heaven – because there is
no action there; one cannot do anything there. …..For doing something, one has
to take a human birth on earth.
…….the three gunas, the three basic forces of life, of
tamas, the cause of inactivity, intertia and indolence, rajas, the cause of
activity or passion, and sattwa, the cause of serenity, calmness and knowledge……
…..Buddha, Mahavira, Mohammed and Jesus used only one of the
three gunas as a medium of their
expression. Rajas was the predominant
medium of expression for Jesus and Mohammed. Tamas was the predominant quality
of Lao Tzu and Ramana Maharshi. But Krishna made use of the three qualities
simultaneously as his medium of expression…….. Because of this it became very
difficult to understand Krishna ……No person can love Krishna as a whole. One
will have to be selective
