death - a lot of question need to be answered

Many people have fear of death. Death makes people
melancholy and they sink into misery. Everyone has to witness
death some point in time during his or her life. During such a
time hundreds of questions regarding the true nature of death
may arise in a person’s mind. When he does not find any answers,
he becomes perplexed. People have an ardent desire to discover
the mystery surrounding death. A lot has been written on the
topic, but it is all mere intellectual exercises.

What is death? What was before this death? What is
happening in the dying process? What happens after death? Who
can talk about the experience of death?

The dead cannot speak of their experiences. Those who are born do not
 have knowledge of their prior existence. No one knows what happens before
birth and after death. That is why the mystery of how one passes
through the time before, during and after death remains unsolved.
Dadashri, through his Gnan, has exposed all the mysteries of
death exactly as they are.
When one learns about the facts surrounding death, his
fears will be eased.

What should one do when a beloved one is dying? What
is our real duty? How can we improve their next life? What
should we do after the death of our loved one? With what
understanding should we remain calm and balanced?

What is the truth behind the people’s common belief of
ceremonial offerings to the dead relative? What is the significance
of the various socially prescribed ceremonies after death? Will
all these rituals benefit the dead? Should one perform such rituals?


When the mysteries of death, which create fear in people,
are exposed, one finds an unfailing consolation when facing such
situations in life.
A Gnani Purush is someone who remains separate from
his body and every event related to the body, separate from
birth and separate from death. He constantly remains the ‘knower
and observer’ of his body. He experiences the eternal state of
the Self, free from the bondage of birth and death. Gnani Purush,
through His Gnan, sees it all as it is, and candidly tells us about
the mystery of life and death and freedom from both.
The Soul is eternal. It is beyond birth and death. It is
Absolute Knowledge. The Self is the absolute knower and
observer. The Soul has no birth or death. Despite this, through
his intellect, man perceives and experiences the cycle of birth
and death.

  Naturally then the main question that arises is how
do birth and death occur? During birth and death, what other
things besides the Soul are present? What happens to them all?
Who is it that goes through rebirth? How does it happen? Who
is it that goes and comes? How are the sequences of ‘cause and
effects’ and ‘effect and cause’ established? How can that be
stopped? How is life span determined? What does life span
depend on? Who except the Gnani Purush can give exact
scientific answers to such eternal questions?

Furthermore, what are the laws governing the entry of a
worldly soul into various other life forms? What are the causes
and consequences of suicide? What are spirits? Are there such
things as ghosts? What are the laws governing the change of
place of worldly life? What supports all the different life forms?
How can one attain liberation from a particular planet? Where
does the soul that attains liberation go? What is Siddha Gati?

No one other than the Gnani is able to explain with such
exactness and detail, the understanding and qualities of the Soul
and the ego.
One can achieve a state free from birth and death through
clarification of all mysteries of life and death. Such facts are to
be found in this booklet and it will benefit the reader from worldly
and spiritual aspects.
