transfer
Q: How does the jiva transfer from one body to another?
A: When one begins to die, hard breathing sets in; that means that one has become unconscious of the dying body. The mind at once takes hold of another body, and it wings to and fro between the two, until attachement is fully transferred to the new body. Meanwhile there are occasional violent breaths, and that means that the mind swings back to the dying body. The transitional state of the mind is somewhat like a dream.
Q: How long is the interval between one's death an reincarnation?
A: It may be long or short. But a jiani does not undergo any such changes; he merges into the universal being.
Some say that those who after death pass into the path of light are not reborn, whereas those who after death take the path of darkness are reborn here; demerits outweighting merits, they go to hells and are afterwards reborn here.
A Yogabrasha (one who has slipped from the path of yoga) is said to fare in the same manner. All these are described in the sastras. But in fact, there i neither birth nor death. One remains only as what one really is. This is the only truth.
