-Yes, I think the same we can say of Devachan, because we cannot know 
exactly, only if one is comming back to show us.

In other words we believe in it on the authority of another. If we 
start with the premise that in knowing spiritual truth there is no 
authority, then what my father said that, according to Krishnaji, 
repetition of a truth is a lie.

a truth on us. If we see a snake, we run away from it to protect 
ourselves. Not many of us see that wrong means will have wrong ends, 
if not in this incarnation, then in a latter one. In other words, 
with our level of perception of truth, reincarnation seems untrue, 
even though those highly evolved see it as a fact and conduct 
themselves in good ways.
