GURUNATHAR’S DIVINE MESSAGE ASHWINI POOJA 08-01-2006
I have to reply to a question asked earlier. They say “Man has to go through seven births. What is the state he reaches after this?”. Please understand that man goes through countless births. He takes many births starting with spiritually unaware states such as soil to stone, to vegetation ,to insects and animals and is finally born as a human being. Then why do they say that one goes through seven Janmas?
The seven refers to the seven states through which the soul passes. It can also be interpreted as the seven states a person goes through after being born as a human being. The state of being aware, the state of sleep, the state of deep sleep and four other states. We cross through all these. The great ancient Rishis passed through all these seven births. After crossing these we reach a high spiritual state of wisdom. Similarly just as the earth belongs to the solar system, there are seven such solar systems in the universe. We have to be born in each of them. It is only after living through all the seven systems can we attain Mukthi. This is one other view or concept. From this we can envisage the number of births a person needs to take.
