Yeah, this is a good question. Is it possible to live forever?
Do we come back? In any form?
Is a spirit mortal or immortal? If spirit, soul, is immortal, we live forever.
And remember, two things are immortal, eternal: one is soul - soul is a light, and one is matter - whatever you see around, that is called matter.
So two things are eternal. They never die, but they change their shapes.
The matter which is in the form of the tree today can be, next century, it can be in the form of a human body.
Because human body is made of matter, like 5 elements.
This combination of 5 elements makes a body, no matter this is human body, animal body, or tree's body.
They are the same, but they change their shapes. But they never die.
They never decay. Same way, our soul never dies. It remains forever because it is eternal, but it changes the shape.
That soul can be in the human body, can be in the animal body, according to their karma.
The karmic theory is very complicated, but I will tell you whatever you do, whatever karma you collect, according to your karma you get the body.
The body is called an instrument. So everybody wants to get the best instrument, and the best instrument is human.
Human body. Because human body has developed mind.
It can think, it can just experience realization. They can meditate.
All these civilizations were built by the man, not by the animals.
Not a single civilization is created by animals.
So you always do that karma that you always become human.
Soul is forever. It is eternal.
So it is, if you will read the old scripture of Christianity, mostly Catholicism, they used to believe in karma and reincarnation.
But later on they developed that system that there is no reincarnation, there is no karma.
But read the early scriptures, you will be surprised.
There were these two things. Whatever Jesus learned from India, from that University he was teaching, that's why they got him.
Because they didn't like the new ideas. But these days everybody is familiar with karma, with reincarnation.
Those days nobody wanted to hear anything about it.
That's why Jesus was in trouble. He was crucified.
But, remember, soul is eternal.
You never die. Maybe your body will die.
You will come back in different form. Like a flower comes back in the different form.
Like a tree comes back in the different form. It is just a shape. We are changing the shapes.
We are changing the bodies. It is like clothes, like the old clothes.
We have no problem to throw them away, because they are worn out. Same way the human body, we don't have problem when we get old.
We change the new body and we are happy. And that's why we remain forever.
But not in the miseries. That's what I am here for. I want to take you out of all of your miseries.
And then that misery, once it is over, you are always in that state of bliss or that state of ecstasy.
You never want anything else because you remain there not happy, it is more than happiness.
Happiness comes and goes. But bliss, once you get it, you are always in the bliss. 24 hours.
And that, I cannot describe it. You have to taste that bliss. You have to taste that ecstasy of nirvana.
And you can do it. You can do it here. Today.
If you are with me, I guarantee you, if you are with me 10 hours you will not even notice the 10 hours are passed.
We are eternal. We are forever.
