Jire bhaai dharam murat pahelaa

I would like to comment/interpret on the 7th verse of this beautiful Ginan

This verse seen in the context of Lakh Chorasi (100,000 x 84) refers to the following theory:

35 lakh births a soul takes in the mineral kingdom
25 lakh births a soul takes in the vegetal kingdom
16 lakh births the same soul takes in the animal kingdom
8 lakh births a soul takes in the human kingdom.

That is the total of 84 lakh.

Furthermore, in each lakh (100,000) births each soul has one occasion to salvation by recognising the Imam. Several ginans for example gives stories of animals who regognised the Imam or Shah Pir, showed wisdom and even gave dassond. As human in the last birth, if one fails to regognise the Imam, as this is the last of 84 such opportunities, he restarts at the mineral kingdom, thus the Farman says that the value of a man without faith is less then the value of the dust on the road which is the first birth in the mineral world.

More discussion on this in the Forum talking of Reincarnation and Lakh Chorasi theories as this section is for Miscellanous Ginan translation only. I made an exception as this verse was mentionedin the post above... search.php?keywords=lakh+chorasi
