Baba
Baba did not review pre-1990 books
Namaskar,
Sadly, many margiis were led to believe that AMPS books were all reviewed by Baba, and are therefore perfect. But that is 100% wrong. Due to intense time constraints, as soon as AMPS purchased an audio recorder, Baba no longer reviewed discourses and books. Practically speaking, He did not review any of those discourses that had an audio recording. And here is the proof.

TP listed 2000 (approx) mistakes in AM books
Please click on the link below which displays a lengthy registry of mistakes in AMPS books. There are around 2000 errors listed on this errata page, and that list was compiled by none other than AMPS Tiljala Publications (TP), sometime after 2010.
It is thus plainly obvious that these books were not reviewed by Sadguru Baba as these books have thousands of mistakes.
Conclusion: Pure books
To solve this issue permanently, Pure books have been made, which are direct transcriptions of Baba’s audio file. Now it is the moral duty of all margiis and Wts to help propagate and distribute those Pure discourses throughout the society.

State of death
Ananda Marga ideology states, "When the physical body no longer remains, that is, when one passes into a bodiless state of existence, then the mind remains just as a seed, modified into the form of saḿskáras. There being no brain or nerve cell attached to it, it cannot perform any function. It commits no sin, nor can it acquire any virtue. It is completely good for nothing, a worthless entity. The cultivation of rationality is as much beyond its capacity as is mental work. Its existence thus is meaningless. Its only destiny is to carry the burden of saḿskáras over and over again. There is nothing else for it to do; it is a completely helpless being. It is only when it is privileged to have a physical structure that it is in a position to cultivate dharma; that is not possible under any other condition whatsoever. Even the feeling that “I cannot do dharma sádhaná” is absent there. Because mental functions are not possible without nerve cells. When there is a physical body, there is scope for the mind to think of higher things, and dharma sádhaná is possible for human beings." (1)
