Compatibility with this Existence
A yogi should carefully gage his compatibility with this existence. Then he can plan if he should prepare for being another body in the future. That other body would be similar to the present one and it would have similar opportunities in one or the other species of life, either as human or less.
So many things occur from the time one is shoved from the birth canal of the mother. Since then, there was one thing after the other, on and on, one opportunity or another. Some were frustrated. Some were facilitated.
Considering the fulfilling ones and the frustrated one, what decision has one made about this existence. Was it compatible? This existence runs on the constant production of desire and the endeavor to fulfill the same. Is this satisfactory? If it is not, then what should one do to avoid becoming part of this history, again?
There were many instances in this existence, when this body was to be subjected to death. Somehow it slipped away being hurt slightly or having missed the misfortune. However, the time will come when this body will be squarely positioned to be victimized by death. At that time, what could be done? Will there be a need to resurface as an embryo again?
