for sins of commission and omission, and with austerity and
stoicism practices the anti-microbe Baaj rites and other laws of
purity enjoined in the Zoroastrian religion, it (soul) becomes
'Ashim-ashai', holy for the sake of holiness. Now that sanctified
soul is able to cross the top sub-region of the Chinvat Bridge, i.e.,
it enters the paradisiacal section of the Space. Thence it advances
higher up to the felicitous station of 'Pahlum Ahwan' (serial No.7),
thence to 'Dadare Gehan', (ibid.} mentioned at the end of every
Nyaesh and Yasht prayers. The devotee thrice repeats the Pazand
sentence: "Man ano avayad shudan" meaning 'I must get there', i.e.
to Dadare Gehan. Here that saintly soul gets 'Tane Pasin', the last
body, which is of a fiery type fit to reside in the fiery orbs of
Keshvars. Dadare Gehan is the portal-region to the six fiery orbs
of Keshvars, which are the centres and residing places of saintly
souls, allegorically referred to as 'the kine' (Yt. 10, 15), because
the saintly souls possess the blissful characteristics in common
with the kine. The above six Keshvars are located, two in each of
the three super-ethereal top septuple transitional regions (against
serial Nos. 5, 3, 1 in the Chart).
Thus flying from Keshvar to Keshvar, the soul reaches the top
of the Space, and awaits its tardy counterpart of the opposite sex.
When the latter comes up" likewise purified, each one 'givesitself--up'
('-datha') to 'own relative' (Khaetu), which is the
counterpart soul (spirit) of the opposite sex and not a relative in
flesh and blood. This act of blending together of the two
counterpart souls into one is called Khaetvadatha, and the
perfected asexual whole soul so formed is called 'Magavan', who
is I-e-Su, a passionless birth.
.
Khaetvadatha is not a marriage, either consanguineous or
incestuous, or even of the 'fortieth remove' except in base,
ignorant, calumniating minds, because:
KHAETVADATHA VERSUS MARRIAGE
Khaetvadatha concerns invisible
souls, physical
bodies having been reabsorbed
into respective
souls by transmutation of
Evil into Good..
Khaetvadatha is between two
correlative counterparts.
Khaetvadatha expunges sexes.
Marriage concerns physical
bodies only, souls remaining
in the background;
Marriage is often between
misfits in one-way or other.
Marriage retains sexes;
