Anandamayi Ma

You die at every instant without being aware of it.

Who is it that dies?

Rebirth is a fact.

there is no doubt about it.

When a cataract in one's eyes is removed by an operation, one's eyesight is restored.

Likewise, by deep concentration on the divine,

when the veil that obscures our vision is removed and the mind purified and focused on the self.

The significance of mantras and of the deities of which they are the sound forms dawns on us and the impressions of previous births flash upon our consciousness

Just as you can have a mental picture of what you have seen in a particular place, so also can you project or receive a more graphic image of your past lives upon your present mental screen.

When I see you, I can get a vision of a series of pictures of your past births.

Whatever you do, consciously or unconsciously, leaves an impression on your mind, whether you are aware of it or not.

This is called samskara.

One who has the capacity to see will be able to discern that these imprints or samskaras pertain to previous births.

A yogi can perceive the impressions of a great number of past lives.

one may see the events of thousands of one's former births.

But when the realization has come of what creation in reality is, what will one see then?

They will see and also not see

and neither will they not see, nor see.

On the level where everything is contained within you and you are present in everything,

There is only the one, and that alone.
