Reincarnation: A Matter of Chance or a Matter of Consciousness (08.06.2021)<\/strong> – A conditioned soul has a certain consciousness and according to that consciousness, the Supersoul brings it to the semen of a man and guides it to the womb of a woman. Thereafter there is the formation of a single cell and from that single cell again by the guidance of the Supersoul starts to multiply. So if there is the consciousness of a dog, the soul would go to a dog’s body. So the subtle body consciousness is very important. The consciousness has a form that depends on whether one has performed piously or sinfully in previous births. And therefore it gets guided to a particular species where it gets a form accordingly. The body creates a restriction on the consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So if one is a rich man but has the consciousness of a dog, his subtle body would then carry the soul to the body of a dog. Similarly, in a certain body, one commits sinful activities alone like a family of butchers. The consciousness is invisible. The body contains a subtle body engaging the soul. Like ghosts, hobgoblins have subtle bodies alone without gross bodies. And subtle body has a form of its own. So we are ordaine to get bodies as per our enjoyment propensity. And those bodies might minimize or enhance our enjoyment depending on our pious or sinful activities. We might want to fly in the sky but might end up forced to take the body of a dog. So let us not allow our minds to carry us towards the body of a dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mind is hollow and accepts that identity which is aligned with the kind of body it gets. Mind and body are related. The body is forced upon the mind and not the kind of body the mind desires. The mind expands and takes of the body but that body is forced upon the mind. Depending upon the order of the Supersoul. Mind pervades the body through the consciousness and therefore identifies with the body. The body is acquired according to the consciousness and therefore mind is not a causal structure for the body. By the arrangement of material nature, the mind is forced to wear a particular type of body. Shrila Prabhupada says daiva chodita. When the baby is in the womb, it first experiences sound followed by touch followed by form. The Supersoul ordains that. The mind is Prakriti so from where does it get that identity as Prakriti is impersonal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of contact with the soul. The soul always has a sense of identity of the self and therefore mind in contact with the soul acquires that tendency. The subtle body and the gross body both acquire that individuation from the soul. The soul’s consciousness pervades the mind and the mind’s consciousness pervades the body. So mind serves as a connection between soul and body. Our mind, intelligence, and false ego are the responsibility of the soul. Lord always comes to us in the form of his holy name, scriptures, or his deity form. But if we do not accept it, the mind, intelligence, and false ego will remain filled with sin. And according to that, the body we will get we can’t decide only Krishna will decide. and material nature or orchestrates the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
