Usually one will behave in a crazy way as a child because of not having prepared to become a child again in the previous life. In this usage crazy means trying to do what one did as an adult with adult privileges in the previous body. It does not matter what one did as an adult, if it was criminal or praiseworthy, if it was materialistic or spiritual, if in the new body as an infant and adolescent, one does not automatically suppress adult tendencies, then it means that one left the last body without preparation to become someone’s infant again.

This type of irrational behavior affects both religious and irreligious, spiritual and materialistic people, just the same. They all come in to a new body with this cocksure posture that they are bigwigs but they can little explain how a bigwig is unable to wipe his own bottom and feed his own face.

One must in some way develop an instinct to be a subordinate, to be submissive to those persons who will raise one’s body until it is able to fend for oneself as a useful adult in society.

Many of us carry this arrogant streak where we feel as infants that our parents or guardians owe us this or that. This is because of a lack of insight into the way and means of transmigration.

Before being shoved out of the present adult body, one should preset the mind in a way where it begins to assume the posture of a submissive dependent child. Actually nature tries to do this to you by introducing brain, limb and organ malfunction, so that you can understand that your adult insignia is meaningless and that you will resume a child position as a little scruff, who cannot read or write but who only has a voice for protesting, objecting and crying.

Understanding this beforehand, before leaving this adult body, I can prepare myself. I can bend down my attitude and assume a lowly position which is similar to the one I will be in when I take the next body.

But if in contrast, I continue with the bigwig attitude, then when I do get the next body, I will raise cane with my parents or guardians, give them much resistance and back talk, not be appreciative of their services and add to the mass of childhood dissatisfaction which is in humanity.

When do you think it is reasonable for an adult to begin to scale down his or her self-conception, to reduce his or her image of the self as adult? Should it be at 100 years of age, at 90 years of age, at 60 years of age, when?

Or should the person just not think about that and should aim for no rebirth and a full life in some real or imagined spiritual place or state? Are you cocksure about the Christian heaven, or about Krishna’s world, or about Vaikuntha or Shiva’s world or the Islam paradise or Nordic Valhalla?

Well, if you are, why worry?
