    Fate of a second hand saint

    Now what is the fate of the second hand saint ( a householder, who being in family and serve Lord) who has reached Brahmaloka(abode of God)? since his sacrifice of fruit of work has not given the highest fruit directly. How can he attain the highest fruit, which could not be purchased by the sacrifice of the fruit (money)? People think that they can purchase the highest fruit (becoming Brahman) just by payment of the cost through a cheque. You cannot purchase the highest fruit by paying money. By such sacrifice of fruit of work, you have proved that your attraction to God defeated your attachment to the world. It means that you have come to the beginning point of the first hand saint (who renounces world for God’s service). Therefore, the sacrifice of the fruit of work can purchase a seat in the academic course (the line of the first hand saint) but not the final degree certificate (the fruit obtained by the first hand saint). Donation is only for admission. You will be reborn as the first hand saint and get the highest fruit in the next birth. Thus you are very near to the final goal compared to the millions of births you have taken so far.

    The Christianity and Islam do not believe in the rebirth. Therefore, the word rebirth should be taken in the sense of a fresh spiritual line that is started in this very life itself. The word dwija means rebirth in this very birth itself and thus such interpretation is present in Hinduism. It means the death of the materialistic life and the birth of new spiritual life. If the second hand saint leads a life of the first hand saint, there is no difference provided the purity is maintained equally. Thus the second hand saint attains the highest fruit in this very life itself and he need not be reborn again in the physical sense. Buddha is an example for this. He was married and got a son also after the stage of learning (Brahmacharya). In course of time, He voted for God and left the family and became a saint. His rest part of life was as pure as that of Shankara (a human incarnation). Buddha attained Brahman in this very life itself like Shankara.
