BIRTH,DEATH & REBIRTH ARE ONLY IMAGINATION
THROUGH MIND WHICH ALSO CREATES CONCEPTS
OF TIME & SPACE.
EXPERIENCE THROUGH MIND TAKES PLACE IN PRESENT
ONLY, WHICH IS ALSO IMAGINATION. HENCE PAST &
FUTURE ARE ALSO IMAGINATION !!
PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION WITH
BHAGVAN RAMANA MAHARSHI --
ILLUSION OF PERCEPTION BASED ON TIME
& SPACE --
Three Anglo-Indian lady-doctors came from Bangalore. One
of them had recently lost her husband in an air crash.
She asked Sri Bhagavan:
Lady: Is there rebirth?
Bhagavan: Do you know what birth is?
L: O yes, I know that I exist now, but I want to know if I’ll exist
in the future.
Bhagavan: Past!.... Present!.... Future!....
L: Yes, today is the result of yesterday, the Past, and
tomorrow, the Future, will be the result of today, the Present.
Am I right?
Bhagavan: There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the
Present. Yesterday was the present to you when you
experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you
experience it. Therefore experience takes place only in the
present, and beyond experience nothing exists.
L: Are then Past and Future mere imagination?
Bhagavan: Yes, even the Present is mere imagination, for the
sense of time is purely mental. Space is similarly mental;
therefore birth and rebirth, which take place in time and space
cannot be other than imagination.
