The soul goes to the next body along with the mind. So, it’s like you know, if I have a computer on which I have a gmail id and then I get a new computer. So, at that time, as soon as I log in with my gmail id, all my bookmarks, all my search history, all those settings that are there, they get logged on to the next computer.
So, like that, the computer like a body. So, when we go to a new body, the soul goes to a new body, at that time, many of the default settings from the previous body, they come with us. That’s how the mind actually goes with us.
And the Swabhav that we get is based on our past karma. So, the Swabhav itself is not bad. Actually, we can say that what we have is God’s gift to us.
What we become is our gift to God. So, although our Swabhav is coming from our past karma, but it is arranged by Krishna in such a way that we can channel it for our growth. So, using our Swabhav, using our nature, what we become? Somebody may be intellectual, but that does not mean automatically they will become brilliant.
Even an intellectual has to study. Somebody may be having good managerial abilities, but even they have to work. So, we get certain abilities, certain Swabhava, but then we have to develop, channel that Swabhava.
And the work that we do, by that we change and we become a better person. And that’s how whatever we do, what we become, is our gift to God. So, we don’t necessarily, even if our Swabhav has some negative features, we don’t have to resent or reject that.
We have to focus on that which is positive and develop that. Does that answer your question? Any other questions? Yes.
