The complete cycle of 8.4 million manifestations by the soul atman necessitates a maximum of 96.4 million earthly years. The entire span of 96.4 million earthly years is one life span for the soul atman. Amongst 8.4 million manifestations 1.1 million manifestations are in the human form. During this period human beings are expected to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). The moment human beings reached the stage of enlightenment... it announces the end of the journey for the soul atman... the spirit within! The liberated soul atman having regained its original lost pure primordial pristine form... enters the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism)... a point of no return! Our present human form is limited to one span of life... the present earthly sojourn of 70 to 80 years! As the past life belongs to our soul atman, the fruits of karma performed by us in the present human form... also belong to our soul atman. The form of human beings is simply a means to an end. We need to work... perform karma for the sake of our soul atman! Human beings feel agony that nothing belongs to us... the human form! But what after the death of the body! Based on the residual balance of karma of one manifestation... the soul atman moves ahead in life... body of the body... manifestation after manifestation! Truthfully speaking... we are a spiritual consciousness... a spiritual being manifesting a human body! We are not supposed to remember the past. Why? What if we come to know our best friend in present life was the cause of our death in last manifestation? As per the karmic crux of life... our best friend was born into the same fold to even out the karma in present life. Who knows what awaits us in future life! The theory of reincarnation as put by religious masters, spiritual gurus and various dictionaries and encyclopedias is totally flawed. The concept of reincarnation... rebirth does not exist in the Cosmos. Reincarnation has been defined as the rebirth of soul atman in a new body. When our soul atman... the spirit within is indestructible... it neither takes birth nor dies... how can it reincarnate? Our soul atman... the spirit within simply manifests body one after another. After the death of the physical body... the soul atman manifests a new form... a new body! When a student of class one enters class two... one gets a new blazer... a new coat! The student being the same... only the blazer changed... similarly our soul atman keeps changing body after body! The changing of bodies by our soul atman... the spirit within is as simple as changing of guards at Buckingham Palace. The entire life span of 96.4 million years being one journey of life for the soul atman... the question of rebirth... reincarnation is totally ruled out! The continuity of life that exists in the life of soul atman... defies the theory of reincarnation! The process of manifestation of bodies by our soul atman is best explained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Bhagavad Gita is one document that gives explanation to every aspect of life... be it the journey undertaken by the soul atman... or the physical manifested form!
