Gadhada Last Section Vach. 12 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

A person who consumes poison, falls into the ocean, throws himself from a mountain, or encounters a demon who devours him, has to die only once. Someone who betrays God or His disciples has to die and be born again repeatedly, for infinitely many ages. Furthermore, a particular disease may result in the death of a person’s body, or an enemy may be encountered who kills a person’s body; but the soul is still not destroyed. However, by betraying God or a disciple of God, even the soul is destroyed. Someone may raise a doubt, ‘how can the soul be destroyed?’ An example to explain is that of a eunuch, who cannot be called a man or a woman; he can just be called a eunuch. Similarly, the soul of someone who betrays God or a disciple of God, becomes useless in the sense that he can never do anything that leads to his salvation. For that reason, it should be considered that his soul has been destroyed. Having realised this, one must never betray God or His disciples.
