discrimination, and paths of hedonism instead of honor.<br />
Yet, God wants us all to come to Him. That is the purpose<br />
of human birth. So, He gives us more chances. We keep<br />
coming back until we learn the lessons of this human birth<br />
and until we transcend the limitations and temptations of<br />
the flesh. Thus, we must realize that everything we do<br />
which is not conducive to the path of God realization is<br />
simply an obstacle we are putting in our own way. Every<br />
act we commit which is not honest, divine and pure is simply<br />
one more stumbling block we put in our path. It is simply<br />
one more hurdle we will have to cross, if not in this life<br />
then in our next life.<br />
4. We know about the ten incarnations of Lord<br />
Vishnu. In which way does God descend on earth?<br />
Does he take birth in the same way as that of the<br />
common man or through some other way?<br />
God is God, so He can manifest in any way. He can manifest<br />
in human forms or in non-human forms. He is not limited<br />
in any way. The rules of man do not apply to God. All of<br />
His manifestations are divine.<br />
illusion, ignorance, attachment and desire. Once the layers<br />
have all been shed, once the soul realizes its true, divine<br />
nature, then rebirth is not necessary. Through these<br />
disciplines one can break the cycle of birth and death.<br />
Attaining liberation is not merely due to a “request.” Sure,<br />
of course, one can request it, but that request is not enough.<br />
Rather than just giving us liberation as per request, God<br />
gives us the light by which we can see the path toward<br />
Him. He gives us the light of discrimination, the light of<br />
wisdom, and the light of truth by which we can find our<br />
way.<br />
Thus, we cannot simply say, “I want liberation” and then<br />
continue to accrue karma which will bind us. All actions<br />
which are not laid at His holy feet – whether they are good<br />
actions or bad actions – result in karma. In order to<br />
completely break the chain of karma, we must lay our<br />
entire lives – every thought, every action, every word, and<br />
every desire – at His holy feet, realizing that He is the doer<br />
and we are merely the vessels through which He does.<br />
5. How many times can a soul take birth? Can a<br />
soul say “That’s enough, now I do not want to be<br />
reborn?” Is this request ever accepted?<br />
A soul will come to Earth in human form as many times as<br />
are necessary to attain the final state of liberation. The<br />
faster one progresses, the fewer births are necessary. Yes,<br />
In the Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwan Krishna says:<br />
Yat karosi yad asnasi, yaj juhosi dadasi yat<br />
Yat tapasyasi kaunteya, tat kurusva mad-arpanam.<br />
Subhasubha-phalair evam moksyase karmabandhanaih<br />
Sannyasa-yoga-yuktatma vimukto mam upaisyasi<br />
a soul can certainly decide that this is enough and that it<br />
does not want to be reborn. However, simply wanting<br />
liberation is not enough. One must work for it. This is the<br />
point of sadhana, of seva, of japa, of meditation, of yoga.<br />
Through these ways, the soul sheds layer after layer of<br />
This means, “Whatever you do, whatever you eat,<br />
whatever you give, and whatever sadhana and tapasa you<br />
perform, do everything as an offering to Me. In this way<br />
you will be freed from the bondage of karma and from<br />
the results of karma in your life. Through this renunciation<br />
