Dadashri: Yes, there is scientific circumstantial evidence behind that, many scientific causes come together. No one is a doer in any of this; neither God has done this, nor have you done any of it. You only believe that, “I did this', which gives rise to the next life. When this belief of yours breaks, when the wrong belief and awareness of “I am the doer’ is destroyed, and you realize the Self, then indeed You are not the doer.
Questioner: But to realize this, do we have to leave all this behind and go to the Himalayas?
Dadashri: No, you do not have to go to the Himalayas. We’ (Dadashri the Gnani Purush) can make you realize the Self within an hour. You do not have to become an ascetic (bava) and go off to the Himalayas. Hey, here you can just eat, drink and enjoy life, and realize the Self at the same time.

At the very most, it will be for about two hundred years, perhaps seven to eight lifetimes at least, in the animal form, and the very least amount of time will be five minutes in the animal form, before returning to the human form. There are some living beings (jiva) that can go through seventeen lifetimes in just one minute. So there are even living beings like that. Just because they go to
