  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you receive transcendental blessings, grace and mercy

  from the God of Gods, the Father and Spiritual Master of this

  entire universe, and also its Supreme Controller, the Supreme

  Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, Who is the giver of life

  and the giver of death. At the time of death, our state of

  consciousness determines our next birth. Death destroys the body

  made of five gross elements, but the subtle body, consisting of

  mind, intelligence, and false ego , remains. As the air carries the

  scent of the place it blows over, so the soul carries a person`s

  subtle body of mind, intelligence and false ego, along with his

  state of consciousness, on to his next birth, and his body is

  determined accordingly. When a breeze blows over a garden,

  it carries the fragrance of flowers with it, but when it blows over a

  rubbish heap, the breeze is filled with stench. Similarly, the

  activities a person performs during his lifetime continuously

  influence his mentality, and at the time of death the cumulative

  effect of these activities determines his state of consciousness.

  Thus the subtle body formed during one`s lifetime is carried

  over to one`s next birth and manifests as the soul`s next gross

  body. Naturally therefore, the gross body reflects one`s state

  of consciousness. The face is the index of the mind. And the

  mind is the product of the activities of one`s present and previous

  lives. In other words, one`s mind, intelligence and false ego,

  which are influenced by one`s habits in this and previous births,

  form the matrix that determine the type of body and mentality

  one will have in the next life. Hence the connection between

  one`s previous, present, and future lives is the mind, intelligence

  and false ego. With love and best wishes, take care, bye.
