Understanding The Process Of Birth And Death
When the body has become unserviceable due to age or disease, or it suffers a fatal
injury, the soul leaves the body. At the moment of death, the soul withdraws its
energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead.
Like a bird, it leaves the cage made of skin and bones, and taking its sanskaras,
it enters into another, a new body, in the womb of the new mother. From the very
birth, the sanskaras of a soul are apparent (visible); whether the new-born
baby is happy, unbothered, sad, shy, mischievous, quiet, violent or agitated.
Death occurs at the precise moment when the account of giving and taking with other
souls through a particular body is finished. The new birth is determined by the
soul's account of karmas with another set of souls. One may be born into a cultured,
wealthy family, another as a beggar, one may be born deaf, dumb, blind or crippled,
another with a strong supple body. The type of body and the conditions of birth
are determined by the thoughts and actions performed in the previous births.

Message for the day 19-03-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To remind ourselves that we are the children of God is to take the gift of positivity.
Projection: We usually turn to God only when the situation at hand becomes
the worst, i.e., when there is no hope from anyone else. So, we find that in a negative
situation our mind naturally goes into negativity and then we have to make great
effort to turn it positive again.
Solution: We need to remind ourselves that we are the children of God. When
we remind ourselves in this way we find that we have a right to our father's property,
of all the positive qualities. Then, there will naturally be peace, happiness and
love in our life.
