10 Shree <strong>Simandhar</strong> Swami<br />

true arihant here today!”<br />

Unity of the Mind, Body, & Speech Exists Over There!<br />

People in Mahavideh Kshetra are just like the humans on<br />

Earth, with similar physical bodies and emotions.<br />

Questioner : Dada, isn’t the life span long there?<br />

Dadashri : Yes, they have a very long life span, but<br />

other than that they are just like us. Their day-to-day conduct<br />

is just like ours was during the fourth time cycle. People of this<br />

fifth time cycle have learnt to steal from others and gossip amongst<br />

their relatives. Such interactions are not to be found there.<br />

Questioner : Is life and people’s interactions there similar<br />

to ours here?<br />

Dadashri : Yes, people bind karmas there too. They<br />

also have the awareness of, ‘I am the ‘doer”. They also have<br />

ego, anger, pride, attachment and greed. There is a presence of<br />

tirthankaras there right now because of the fourth time cycle,<br />

otherwise everything there is just like it is here.<br />

The only difference between the fourth and fifth time cycles<br />

is that in the former, there is unity of the mind, speech and body,<br />

whereas in the fifth time cycle, this unity is broken. People in the<br />

fifth time cycle do not say what they think and they do not do<br />

what they say, while in the fourth time cycle, people say and do<br />

exactly what is on their mind. If a person living in the fourth time<br />

cycle says he feels like burning down the whole village, you can<br />

rest assure that he will do so. Today, there is no substance in<br />

what people say or think.<br />

From Which World Can One Go There?<br />

Questioner : Under what conditions can one go there if<br />

he wants to?
