Feb 12, 2016 at 12:38 comment added brahma jijnasa @Vishu Yes they do, but the concept of the verses proves the point as a phenomenon that speaks that a person revives consciousness of his previous life, namely that the person is not reborn as a clean slate in his next life.

Apr 29, 2015 at 7:43 comment added hijarian My point is not that we do not take material attachments to the next life with us, but that this particular shloka has nothing to do with this, it talks only about level of consciousness reached in current life. It gives us assurance: when we go to next life, we lose everything material we reached in previous one, including knowledge, wiseness and such, but our level of devotion to Ishvara, to God, reached in this life we do not lose in any case. It's being always accumulated so at one point we'll definitely be free of the maya and restore relationships with Him.
Apr 29, 2015 at 7:35 comment added hijarian Srila Prabhupada himself (whose translation you are using as a reference) said that this shloka applies to divine consciousness, not material attachments. I cannot find reference right now, so I did not write that, but when we leave material body and Yamaraja prescribes us another one, we take with us into that next body only 1) material attachments from previous life, 2) level of divine consciousness we have reached, and 3) the impressions we got from previous life and whatever naraka Yamaraja has sent us between previous life and next one.
Apr 28, 2015 at 3:46 comment added brahma jijnasa @hijarian I disagree with that. The verse can be applied to the material circumstances of life such as music, etc., too.
Apr 27, 2015 at 13:51 comment added hijarian These shloka apply only to the divine knowledge... "Even a small step on a path of bhakti is being preserved after death" etc. OP asked about material attachments.
