*** 只有自覺的靈才適合土葬 ***
有些宗教相信人死後若將屍體埋葬，在數百年後(最後審判日來到時)，那肉體會走出墳墓，然後你會得救。基督教、猶太教及回教都有這樣子的說法，這也為什麼這三個宗教都將死人埋葬。這是非常荒謬可笑的想法，試想五百年後，你在墳墓裡的肉體還剩下什麼呢？(註一)你如何能像耶穌基督一樣復活呢？基督在死後三天就復活了，祂在星期五被釘上十字架，星期天早上即復活，甚至不到三天，但人們却妄想將屍體保存五百年！更不用說他們根本不是基督，耶穌基督的身體是完全不同的！(註二)
只有自覺的靈(realized
soul)死後才可以被埋葬，一般普通人都不應如此，因為一般人有許多遺願，他們(死後)仍希望做這個、做那個，所以他們的靈魂(soul)可能仍會在屍體附近徘徊遊走。埋葬屍體不只佔據土地，又造成亡魂(bhoots)在那附近遊走。西方世界這種風俗是非常令人驚訝，當我第一次到巴黎，在市中心他們有一個很大的墓園，一般人很自然在那裏喝酒，因為所有埋在墳墓的酒鬼亡魂都跑出來鼓動這些人喝酒！
只有了解正法(dharma)的人才知道如何處理一般民眾及自覺的靈的死後事宜，只有那些合乎正法的人才可以(用土葬的方式)來保存他們的屍體，因為這些人的正法從臍輪(Nabhi)行到頭腦(註三)，而頭腦又供給靈的能量給所有的神經，所以自覺的靈的整個身體都充滿神聖能量(vibratory awareness)，這個肉體若埋到土裏面，人們是可以感覺到它的芬芳(fragrance)，(甚至)你在遠處即知道有一個聖人埋葬在那裏。(註四)
你們應該記得我談過這個故事，也看過那張有光照在我頭上的相片(註五)，我去Mian ki takli 村莊時，他們告訴我有一位蘇菲派(註六)的聖人叫Mianh，他死在這裏也埋葬於此地，立即我感覺到這能量(vibration)。當我在演講時，我看到他以光的方式呈現，然後他將光投射在我頭上，這就是相片所照到的景象，(他來向我致意)，我感到十分高興，當我將手放在頭上示意他停止，他就停止將光照在我頭上。他死後没變成一個亡魂，而是變成光，當任何地方有需要時，他就以光出現。
註一：約翰福音5：28，29：“ 時候 要 到 ， 所有 在 紀念墓 裏 的 人 都 要 聽見 他 的 聲音 ， 就 出來 。 行善 的 ， 復活 終 得 生命 ； 作惡 的 ， 復活 終 被 定罪 。”。
譯者：目前的聖經是不認為有輪迴的，但有些研究指出原始的聖經是主張有輪迴的，後來統治者為方便控制信徒而將有關輪迴的文句全部刪除，但仍留下一些蛛絲馬跡。在否定輪迴的主張之下，只好說人死後就繼續留在棺木中，當最後審判來臨時再走出來。Shri Mataji 在許多談話中都提過目前看到的聖經已被保羅及後人竄改過，其中約三四成是錯誤的。
註二：Shri
Mataji：耶穌基督是由"唵"(Omkara，即：無所不在的神聖力量)構成的。
註三：臍輪的正法跑到頭腦是"生前即如此"或"死後"呢？原文看不出答案。
註四：Shri
Mataji 在其他的談話也提過：埋葬在土裏的聖人身體的能量可以滋養母親大地。
註五：Shri
Mataji 多次談話談及此故事，請看後面所附相片。
註六：蘇菲派(Sufi)是伊斯蘭教中的一個神秘主義教派，他們透過冥想及導師來接觸阿拉。

Like saying that if you die, and bury yourself – it is no soul they talk of – bury your body, then from the body after five hundred years, your body will come out, and you will be saved. After five hundred years, what will remain of the body? Such absurd ideas there are in these three religions: Christian, Jews and Muslims. That’s why they bury people. Now burying people means you are occupying the land, and also keeping the bhoots there. Like in… I was surprised, when I first came to Paris, that in the center of Paris they have got such a big cemetery. Naturally, people drink here – because most of the drunkards are sitting there inside the graves and they are inciting them to drink. It’s very surprising that in the West they have such absurd ideas that when you’ll be buried, then you’ll be resurrected like Christ. Just imagine… Christ was resurrected between three days. He died on Friday, resurrected on Sunday morning. Not even three days. But if you keep some body for five hundred years, who is not even Christ, – if Christ’s body, is different – what will come out of it? And so they are burying people. Only realized souls should be buried, not every common person. Because they still have their desires, their… they still want some things, their souls might be hanging around there…you see…that body. So, why should you keep the body in a place for years together? Then, after sometime, they’ll dig it up and make houses there. And all the bhoots must… coming in the house. So to understand dharma, we should also understand how we are going to deal with the death of general people and the death of Sahaja Yogis. Only if you are dharmic, it is not sufficient. There are many people who don’t do anything wrong, they’re very austere type, something, but they are not in balance, normally. They’re very hot tempered. If they are not hot tempered, they’re absolutely recluses, sit in the Himalayas, like that… But those people who are dharmic, – in the real sense of the word – once they ascend to the state of Virat, then only they are the people who should be preserved, their body should be preserved. Because the dharma from the nabhi goes to your brain, and brain supplies to all the nerves the energy of the spirit. So the whole body of a realized soul is full of vibratory awareness. If such a body is buried, you can even get fragrance. And from a distance you will know that there is some saint being buried here. If you remember, there are seven photographs of Mine, where the light is falling on Me. That was a village called Mian ki takli. They told me then, “Mianh, one Sufi saint, died in this place. So He is buried here.” Immediately, I felt the vibrations. And when I was sitting on the dais, I saw Him in the form of light, and He started throwing light on Me. And I was very happy; but when I stopped, He stopped it. He didn’t become a bhoot. No, He did not. He became the light. And wherever it was necessary, He showed His presence.
