[You are saying that the soul will enter the births of animals and birds if it does not attain Brahma Loka in this human birth. Can you explain this more clearly?]
In Islam and Christianity there is no rebirth for the soul. The soul gets human birth only once. After this human birth the soul will either go to the Lord or will go to hell permanently. Only one Lord created this entire universe. Therefore the policy should be the same for all the souls in this universe. There is only one Lord. All the souls are equal to Him. Can you deny this? If you don’t agree with this theory, you can follow your own faith. But your faith is not important. The truth is important. Whatever is true, that alone happens; it is not based on your faith. If you agree with this policy, I can correlate all the religions. If you can correlate all the religions in a better way, I will also agree with you. If you do not care for the correlation and follow your faith only, there is nothing for me to preach to you. My correlation of all the religions is as follows:
In the Gita two paths are explained. In the first path one goes to Brahma Loka without returning back. In the other path one returns to this earth and falls in the cycle of births and deaths, which is called as the wheel of Samsara. In all the religions there are only two paths. Reaching Brahma Loka is reaching the Lord. Falling in the cycle animals and births is going to hell permanently. The soul, which has fallen in this hell, will never get human rebirth in which there is the facility of trying to reach Brahma Loka. Not getting such a spiritual human rebirth is the absence of rebirth. The soul, which goes to Brahma Loka will never get the rebirth of animals and birds and in that sense, this soul also has no rebirth. But one point is to be understood carefully.
The birth of an animal, bird, worm etc., does not mean the actual animal, bird or worm. There are several human beings, who live like animals, birds and worms. Such human births are also the births of animals, birds, worms etc. We are seeing such human beings in majority on this earth. They are immersed in the worldly bonds like money, children etc. They cannot cut their blind love to these worldly bonds. Even if they put some spiritual effort, it is incomplete because of their attachment with these bonds. Such souls, when they go to the upper worlds are also involved in such bonds in the upper worlds. They can never attain Brahma Loka by any amount of preaching of divine knowledge to them. But if they are not preached to, they will blame the Lord during the enquiry, posing that they might have attained Brahma Loka, had they received the divine knowledge. The Lord preaches to them also only to save Himself from such blame and not to save them. Therefore if you have all the facilities and also the interest in spirituality, this is the best birth for you and this is the only chance for you. If you waste this human birth, you will fall into the births of animals etc. You will not be given such a chance again.
Islam and Christianity say that the soul has to wait for the final enquiry, which is to be done at the end of this world. This human body (Pindanda) can be said to be the world (Brahmanda). The human body is a mini-world containing the same components. Therefore the death of this human body can be treated as the end of this world from the point of the soul. You can also treat the day as birth and night as death. The Veda says that deep sleep is equal to death (Naviduhu Sati Sampatsyama Iti). The Gita also says the same (Prabhavantyaharagame). Therefore the feelings (Samskaras) of previous births mean only the feelings of yesterday. If you are on the spiritual path and if you make a sincere spiritual effort to cut these worldly bonds and strengthen the bond with the Lord, your lifetime can be extended by the Lord. You will cross the day of your death by the grace of the Lord, which can be treated as a rebirth. Such extension of life will really help you in the spiritual effort. If you are given a human rebirth, there will be lot of gap since you have to stay in the womb of your mother and you have to cross childhood. Such a long gap will give a serious break in your spiritual effort. From this point of view also there is no human rebirth. If a soul cannot attain Brahma Loka in this human birth even after getting an extension of life, how can such a soul get Brahma Loka in the next human birth after such a long gap? The Gita also says that the soul is taking birth and death constantly during the day and night (Athachainam Nitya Jatam). Like this all the three religions can be correlated and only one theory evolves.
