“God take us children across to the other side” – what does “to the other side” mean? Do human beings go through 8.4 million species?”
Invaluable versions of Mateshwari:-
When we say: God, take us children across to the other side, what does “to the other side” mean? People believe that to go to the other side means to become free from the cycle of birth and death, that is, to be liberated. This is what people say, but that One says: Children, the place where there is true happiness and peace, which is far away from sorrow and peacelessness, cannot be called a world. When people want happiness, that has to be in this world.
That was the golden-aged world of deities where they always had a life of total happiness. Those deities were said to be immortal. “Immortal” also has no meaning. It doesn’t mean that the deities had such long lifespan that they never died. Their saying this is wrong because it is not like that. Their lifespan was not as long as the golden and silver ages, for the deities had many births in the golden and silver ages. They ruled the kingdom very well for 21 births and then they took 63 births from the copper age to the end of the iron age. In all, they had 21 births in the stage of ascent and 63 births in the descending stage. In total, human beings take 84 births.
When people think that human beings go through 8.4 million species, that is a mistake. If human beings experience both happiness and sorrow in their human lives, then what would be the need for them to suffer as animal species? People do not have this knowledge. Human beings take 84 births, but there must definitely be 8.4 million species of animals, birds, etc. in this world. There is the creation of many types, and human beings experience within that their sin and charity in the human birth and animals experience it in their birth. Human beings cannot take birth as animals and animals cannot take birth as human beings.
Human beings have to experience everything in their human lives, and so there is the feeling of happiness or sorrow. In the same way, animals also have to experience happiness and sorrow in their own species. However, they do not have intellects to understand which action caused them to suffer? Human beings feel their suffering (of the animals) because human beings are intelligent, but it isn’t that human beings take birth in 8.4 million species.
A tree is said to be non-sentient and it has its own species. This is easy and it is a matter of common sense to understand what actions or neutral actions a non-sentient tree would have performed for it to create karmic accounts. For instance, look at the elevated versions that Guru Nanak quoted: Whoever remembers their son, whoever dies with that worry in their final moments would take rebirth as a boar. However, saying this does not mean that a human being would take birth as a boar, but a boar means that the actions of human beings are like those of animals; it isn’t that human beings become animals. Those teachings are given to make people afraid.
“So, we have to transform our lives at the confluence age and become charitable souls from sinful souls.“
Achcha. – Om Shanti.
