Hi balasri
What a great question , I think I would rather not return if given the choice , once it is over let it be over, I will relax and watch others , maybe I should think about this some more lol, I did think about this before and at that time I wanted to come back, so I may change my mind lol

Hi balaji...How are you.......after long time ... what a question.......
Well!!!if this world is going to remain as it is today....full of crime and injustice, with no peace, then I don't think I would ever want to come back here to suffer and to see our children suffer. Unless God offer me special choice that if I am born, then Bala will remain with me whole life speaking and singing Hindi.....

I miss you too Bala, infact I miss mylot and those old days when I use to be here regularly. I don't know why I have suddenly lost interest in everything...,but friends like you do bring me here from time to time..I will try to come more often as it will be my loss if I loose contact with such good friends that I have found here on mylot. Indeed if friends are like you....jaanat yehi hai........Thanks a lot for everything.

I would prefer to be born again. I've had a good life and would like to continue on again later once I've left this world. I have alot to do yet and also want to see our grandkids grow up to be fine adults just as kids have done. I did have a rough start since I was adopted. Would like to start my life over around the age of 16. Those were the good years.

Hi Bala!
Given the choice, I would like to be born again on the planet Earth, may be in a different avatar from the present one.
What about you?

Hi Bala!
I hope our dear Bhabhiji and sweet little princess would be very happy to read your declaration, but what made you write Alok, at the end?

Absolutely. Born again, is something that i would hope everyone would want. We go through two births during our time. I was baptized several years ago, but would gladly go through it again.

Thanks very much. I do enjoy life. I work hard, study hard, and live quite a full life, yet, i think there is more that i need to be doing.

Honestly, Id really rather not be born again either as a person or an object or animal. Id prefer to be in that state of "Nirvana" so to speak. I sure wont mind visiting this place and perhaps observing what has become of the people in general. Observe their actions, their thoughts, their feelings and their reactions. But I really would not want to become one of the participants again.
However, whether my preferences are met, I really do not have the power to choose. It will still be up to "Him" if he deems fit if I have to go back to the earthly world and live again.

Can I just go to heaven? I've always been scared of the idea of reincarnation where you are reborned as a different person without the memories of the life I had. When I was little, I would imagine being in an accident and being reborned into a neighbor's house and not recognizing my family. It was a scary thought. I would choose not to be born again

Hi bala,
Knowing what this world is like now and know what it will be like in the future, I don't think I would like to come to be reborn and if I do I'll come back as a man, they have life too easy, lol!! I'll just be a ghost instead and scare the living, lol!!

Hi balasri! Excellent question! I have had a pretty unpleasant
life for the most part. I don't think I would want to take
the chance of returning if it could mean having another miserable
one! So, I think that I don't want to return to the earth the
way it is now with all the crime and suffering. When I leave
here I hope that I will finally find some peace!

I would choose to go into Heaven because unless I was able to come back to my loved ones I could not think of anything worse than coming back to a new life and all its hassles! I hope that I will learn as much as I can while I am here and will not have to return!

Hi Bala! I guess it would depend on if they were going to let me in or not..lol..I know I could do a lot better the second time around but if they were going to let me in..no way I would want to come back. It might be tougher for me then.

Thank you for a very thought provoking question. I think I would return the this world if given the chance but I would also like to keep my knowledge so I could live a life better than the last and repeat this for an eternety untill i know everything (which of course would never happen :) )

Bala, no matter what life is such a precious thing, be it the good or bad i think it's a must go through. Now whether we choose to remember the past life is another matter.So if we don't then does it really matter ?

I do NOT wish to be born in thsi world ever again Bala. THere is no guarantee as to how life would be .THere is so much of poverty, misery and difficulties in the world. I have been very fortunate this time and GOd has blessed me with His grace and bounty ; I wish to attain the Lord's Lotus feet in this birth itself and never be born again.

Your response is reeking with honesty.True God has been kind to me too.There is no guarantee that I will make myself worthy of His blessings if I am born again.Chances are that I may be born as a rich politician or a thief.I do not want to take any chances Kala.

Quite an interesting question, Balasri. I have gone through the other answers,and none of the people are interested in coming back to this useless world.
As far as I am concerned, I want to get out of this world immediately.So given a chance, I am certainly not going to come back.

Hi bala,
Another imaginary question and the preference are giving between heaven and earth. I won’t prefer to born again instead I will prefer to stay in heaven.

That is a tough question!
I dont know what i would choose
I dont even think that I can choose
On one hand I know there is more that I can learn here and that I would benifit from another life on Earth
but on the other hand I am very excited and curious about what is beyond this plane of existance
I would probably have to flip a coin
Do they have coins at the gates of heaven?
