life begins at the point of your past life's death
when you die on the one side one chapter of life is closed
which people think was your whole life it was only a chapter in a book which has infinite chapters
one chapter closest but the book is not closed
just move the page and another chapter begins
the person dying
starts visualizing his next life
first this is a known fact because it happens before the chapter closes once in a while a person
comes back from the very last point
for example drowning
and he's somehow saved almost in a coma his water has to be taken out and
artificial breathing has to be given and somehow he is saved he was just
on the verge of closing the chapter these people have reported interesting facts
one is that at the last moment when they felt that they are dying that it is finished
their whole past life went so fast before them in a flesh from the birth to this moment
within a split second
they saw everything that had happened to them that they had remembered and also that which they have
never remembered many things which they have not even taken note off and they were not aware that
they are part of their memory the whole film of memory goes so quick in a flesh and it has to be
in a split second because the man is dying there is no time three hours to save see the whole movie
and even if you see the whole movie you cannot relate the whole story of a man's life
with his small details
insignificant
but everything moves before him that is a certain
very significant phenomenon before ending the chapter
he recollects
all his experiences
unfulfilled desires
expectations disappointments frustrations sufferings joys everything
buddha has a word for it he calls it tanha
literally it means desire
but
metaphorically it means the whole life of desire
all these things happened frustrations fulfillments disappointments successes failures
but all this happened within a certain area you can call desire
he has to
see the whole before he moves further just to recollect it because the body is going this mind
is not going to be with him this brain is not going to be with him but the desire
released from this mind will cling to his soul and this desire will decide his future life
whatever has remained unfulfilled he will move towards that target
your life begins far back
before your birth before your impregnation
further back in your past
life's ends that end is the beginning of this life
one chapter closes another chapter opens
now how this new life will be
is 99 percent determined
by the last moment
of your death
what you collected
what you have brought with you like a seed
that seed will
become a tree bring fruits bring flowers
or whatever happens to it
you cannot read it in the seeds but the seed has the whole blueprint
there is a possibility one day the science may be able to read in the seed the whole program
that what kind of branches this tree is going to have how long this tree is going to live
what is going to happen to this tree
because the blueprint is there just we don't know the language
everything that is going to happen
is already potentially present so what you do at the moment of your death
determines how your birth is going to be
most of the people die
clinging
they don't want to die
and one can understand why they don't want to die
only at the moment of death they recognize the fact that they have not lived
life has simply passed as if a dream and death has come
now there is no more time to live
death is knocking on the door
and when there was time to live you were doing thousand and one fullest things wasting your time
rather than living it i have asked people playing cards
playing chess what are you doing this is a killing time from my very childhood
i have been against this expression killing time
my grandfather was a great chess player
and i will ask him that you are getting old and still killing time
can't you see that really time is killing you
and you go on saying that you are killing time you don't know even what time is
you don't know where it is
just catch hold of it and show me
and all these expressions that time is fleeting and passing and going are just a kind of
consolation it is really you who are passing
going down the drain every moment and you go on thinking that it is time that is passing
as if you are going to stay and time is going to pass
time is where it is it is not passing
the watches and the clocks
are man's creation to measure the passing time which is not passing at all
you
