Why Do Some Souls Remain on Earth as Ghosts Instead of Crossing Over?

[Smt. Priyanka Seethepalli asked: Why do some souls haunt around on Earth itself without crossing over? We hear stories where some people can even see these ghosts and some spirits even try to enter an alive human being and cause them harm. I heard that some harmless spirits just wander around for years. Isn’t any judgement done for these souls in those 10 days after a person dies? Also, how does a soul transform into an evil spirit and why does it harm people? Is having complete faith in God to protect us, the answer to prevent these spirits from approaching us?]

Swami replied: There is no difference between fascinated human beings and ghosts. Due to excess of fascination only, the souls enter the invisible energetic bodies called ghosts to wander in this world itself till their fascination is pacified. Such judgment is given by God on the 10^th day after the death of any fascinated soul. Souls enter and harm us only by the will of God to give punishments to us for our sins. If such divine will is absent, the ghost travels in its own way and we travel in our way. How can you worship God to avoid ghosts when the ghost troubles you for your sins on the will of God only? If you worship God, God will come to you in human form, preach the reformation and once your soul is reformed, the sins are cancelled and the ghost leaves you. If you understand all this procedure, we can say that our worship to God removes the ghost and in this statement, the intermediate step (reformation of the soul) lies unmentioned and unnoticed.
