life is a contnuum--we start from where we stopped last life

 



जन्मजन्मन्यभ्यस्तं यद्दानमध्ययनं तपः।
तेनेवाभ्यासयोगेन तदेवाभ्यस्यते पुनः॥
इन्दिश्चे स्प्रुचे २३३१ वृद्धचाणक्य

janmajanmanyabhyastaṁ yaddānamadhyayanaṁ tapaḥ|
tenevābhyāsayogena tadevābhyasyate punaḥ||
indiśce spruce 2331 vṛddhacāṇakya

The generosity, the magnanimity and preparedness to share with others what one possesses, to give gifts, the abundance of knowledge accumulated through meticulous study and focussed training, the yearning to acquire more of knowledge, the devoted penance, the willingness to undergo even mortification and painful experiences to realize the Supreme Divinity-- A person acquires and inherits all these in his present life through abhyaasayoga, or the affinity and expertise developed and acquired by him through constant, focussed practice in many earlier lives.

A reminder here from Vriddhachanakya

It has to be noted that even Bhagavat Gita testifies to the fact that a person, if he pursues intense sadhana during the course of one lifetime, but departs without reaching the summit, without achieving the full results, then he would again take birth in an environ where he could resume from the point at which he left in the earlier chapter of his existence.

We believe that life is a continuum.-death is just a pause, a comma.. Never a full stop.

K V ANANTHANARAYANAN

जन्म जन्मनि from various previous births again and again अभ्यस्तं trained, practiced, pursuee यद् which दानं willingness to give gifts, generosity अध्ययनं learning, education, meticulous study,तपः penance, holy ordeal or mortification तेन by that अभ्यासयोगेन because of the habit developed, because of the tendency ingrained through repeated performance नरेण by man तद् that एव alone पुनः again (at present)अभ्यस्यते develops intuitive liking and practices with earnestness and intensity
