Gita Madhurya -Swami Ramsukhdas

Chapter VIII

What happens to the great souls who have attained You? The great souls having attained Me, are no more subject to rebirth which is transitory and the abode of pain.(15) Who are subject to rebirth? All the worlds including that of Brahma are subject to return (rebirth), but on attaining Me there is no rebirth.(16) Why are all the worlds subject to return (rebirth)? Because they are under the sway of time. What is that sway of Time? Those who know that the day of Brahma lasts a thousand Yugas (ages)and his night lasts a thousand Yugas, know the reality about Time. At the commencement of Brahma's day (when Brahma awakes) all embodied beings emanate from the unmanifest (i.e., Brahma's subtle body) and at the commencement of his night (when Brahma goes sleep) they merge in the same subtle body, which is called the unmanifest.(17-18) Why are they born and dissolved again and again? The multitude of beings is ever the same. But because of their nature full of attachment and aversion they are born again and again from Brahma under compulsion at the time of cosmic day and are dissolved in him at the approach of cosmic night.(19)
