What Do You Think About Birth Control, Contraception?
Well, generally it is considered to be not quite the thing
done, according to religion. But there are techniques available by which
you need not have a baby. But not by contraception, it is more by abstention.
I had once asked Master a question about rebirth. I
had the impression, my own personal impression, that good souls are
reborn instantly after death. It was my opinion that they would be qualifying
for quick evolution. But Master said no. It is the bad souls which are
reborn quickly – or souls with bad samskaras. I asked Him why this should
be so. He said those with good samskara, or the souls without much samskara
but yet destined to be reborn, they cannot find the proper environment
to be reborn. So by following these unnatural practices, we might be
denying an opportunity to souls which are higher in evolution, which
need yet to be reborn, from being reborn.
So this is the highest reason for not practicing birth control,
especially for spiritual people like Sahaj Marg abhyasis. Because we
must remember that as we evolve, it becomes impossible for the negative
types of souls to be reborn to us, in our environment, and only the
higher souls will find our environment suitable for birth. Why I am
saying this is, we should not automatically assume we will therefore
have nine children, or twelve children, because as we evolve, the possibility
of having children of that level decreases for us too, because there
are not many around. So it will be a safe married life even without
contraception. There is no problem.
