in coma it is a state when you
lose the first three senses
but you still hold on to the sense of sight
mentally there is alertness inside and
sound you still can hear the sound
and you have not left the body you stay
in that limbo state for a longer time
sense of action is completely frozen
the body is frozen
but you can hear what people are saying
they want to respond they cannot respond
this is very close very similar to death experience
when you die what happens to you?
first the Mind withdraws from the five senses
with its impressions
sense of touch goes away
then taste goes away
then smell goes away these three things
goes away it carries only the two senses
along with it which are still active
sound and sight
like you are on the hot air balloon and
you see everything happening down there
you can't do anything about the traffic that's
that's happening there you just see
oh there is a traffic jam
but you are in the hot air balloon
you keep moving
so first three days is intense and
then after the three days
or three nights the soul when it
starts getting adjusted
to the other Realm
it keeps moving away from this
once they leave the body then the
time zone changes
six months is day and six months is night
one whole year is one day
very few souls they are so Earth bound they
don't go for a long time they stick on here
very few point one percent you can say
so the the last rites in the Hindu tradition is
something so fantastic
because the person is still
can hear they tell him
you have lived a grand life
your body is made up of five elements
let the earth element go back to the earth
water element go back to water
fire will dissolve in fire
air goes into air element
and you are light
and you merge in the Universal light
that's where you have come from
you have no blemish you have no sin
you have no impressions
you are just pure joy you are love incarnate
go back to your Source
may you be free may you be free
may you be free bless this whole creation
you are free you need nothing now
go from there bless everybody
this is what the mantras are chanted
and its such a relief wow
somebody at that time moment they are saying
you are not the mind
you are not the intellect
you are not the thoughts
you are neither this you are not touched
you are not this you are not this
you become free of this you become free of that
you go to a place of total freedom
total freedom
usually people when they are nearing to
their death they lose interest in food
some lose interest in food
some don't some crave more food
towards the end of life in that case
within those 10 days
it's good to feed some people
the food they were very fond of
so when they smell those food and those things
their Spirit becomes okay like
I have had this food
gives them some sort of relief
within the 10 days that is that's done
many times seekers when you meditate
you find oh nothing is happening to me
meditation is not happening you know why?
some of those merits are being
passed down to your forefathers
it is something that you have to
there is no escape from it
when you meditate a portion of your meditation
portion of that merit
whenever you do anything good
you give charity that good vibes are passed on
to those who gave you the body
you know somebody gave you the body
and because of that only
you are doing everything that you are doing
so to that person
an amount of merit that what you do
gets automatically transferred like inheritance
like in this world when somebody passes on
dies then you inherit no?
automatically all their loans or their earnings
just falls on your head right?
in the same way in the subtle also
these things get transferred
just before going to bed
just have a thought
just think very strongly about something
in the dream also the same thought will come up
and as soon as you wake up in the morning that
will be your first thought
whatever is the strongest impression in the world
that persists
when a person when he is dying
he is dying with all the memories of
chicken and chicken and chicken
his consciousness with the strongest impression
at the moment of death but if that was chicken
his mind soul gets into that falsehood false form
the last days of life is much more important
than your whole life to emphasize this
in India there are many many stories
a very enlightened saint rishi was in the bank of
a river meditating and he saw a young deer
in the water so he jumped in and saved the deer
it had hurt its leg and he cared for it
and then he got so attached to the deer
when he died he became a deer
this is the only instance
where an enlightened person
it's said it's almost it's impossible
for a liberated man to be born back
into an animal body it's one of the impossibilities
and this example Jada Bharat is quoted through out
just to tell you the last impressions are the most
important as a Yogi became a deer
your strongest cravings and your strongest
fear and aversion determines your next life
rats are born as cats
they are not born as dogs
some animals are afraid of only
some other animals whichever animal they are
afraid of that is the next body for them
because the strongest fear
is the last impression in the mind
and that gives rise to the next birth
more than father and mother the grandparents
are attached to the kids
so when they leave the soul they will be born
to them usually this happens
that's why they keep the same name also
you know the Kings usually used to give
the names of the grandfather to the grandchild
George the fifth and George the seventh and
this tradition has come from vedic times why?
because the most attachment for a person is
with grandchildren in old age
you are born in the same family
to the same because of your attachment
because your world is limited you are
not open to everybody in the world
the attachment is so strong within the same
family or if someone has a deep aversion
towards somebody they are born to them
different things work with certain voltage
your iPad can plug in with only certain voltage if
it's too high voltage this will break
similarly these bulbs are all of certain definite
voltage fridge is of definite voltage
torch cell works with certain amount of
electricity similarly in a subtle body
and causal bodies combination
each soul gets certain amount of voltage
energy width when a man woman meet
that moment of conception
the energy that they have
brings that type of Soul into the planet
the union of men and women determines
what type of soul is going to come
which voltage soul can come there
suicide is like saying I'm so cold and
getting removing all your jackets
it's like a child wants to go to sleep but
it is crying so hard
you want to sleep
but you don't know how to sleep and so you cry
similarly you're so cold
so instead of taking more blankets
on you you are removing all your clothes off
so this is exactly suicide
suicide does not get that person out
of the misery for which he's committing suicide
in fact it remains with them
for a longer time then they come back again
they have to be born again
when you are rid of all the cravings and aversion
do you still come back? yes then you
come back out of compassion
you know and even then you come back as a
free person and you want to do something
you do it in the world and go
