All These Conditionings Influence Us At The Time Of Death!

We make a decision. Please be very clear, the whole calculation happens based on our own data, the data that we have collected. As I said, at the time of leaving the body, the whole data appears before us in a single flash: the gist of the whole data, the gist of all three files āgāmya (acquired) file, sañcita (bank balance) file and prārabdha (current) file. Based on the files, we decide, 'What am I supposed to do?

The moment we decide, we enter that kind of body. One more important thing: Because we are so attached to the body and mind, we cannot live without a body for more than three kṣaṇas. The Saṃskṛit word 'kṣaṇa' does not mean 'seconds' or 'moments'. It does not measure chronological time. It is the gap between one thought and the next thought.
