Reincarnation
the truth behind taking Re-birth The Eternal
Truth
The "Eternal
Truth" governing the entire system of the Universe is a truth par excellence.
No Human Being ever fully comprehends the system built by the "Creator". Project
this truth towards the general masses ... Persons holding high positions in the
society get antagonized. They
turn the masses against you. Their ego, the "I" within refuses to accept any change
in the existing Spiritual and moral values of the society. They do not comprehend
... "Eternal Truth" is one. Different people interpret it differently.
Break
the cordon of illusion around you. Never get bogged down by non factual values
followed by the society ... Values not based on the doctrine of "Eternal Truth".
Do not become a slave within yourself. Live a Life of choice. The doctrine of
"Eternal Truth" hidden in the sacred Scriptures of every religion is the basis
of "Mahabharata
... An epic written by sage Vyasa. What
is "Chakravayuha" as described in "Mahabharata"? Abhimanyu the great son
of Arjuna in the battle with Kauravas knew the path of going within the "Chakravayuha"
but not of coming out. He learnt this while in his Mother's womb. You enter "Chakravayuha
of Life" unconsciously at birth. Resultant
Karma of your past is responsible for the "Samsaric jivan" you spend on Mother
Earth. This compulsory performance of Karma based on samskar's of earlier lives
manifested by your "Atman" is the "Chakravayuha of Life". You have to live ...
in or out of it.
Your Destiny
Based on earlier samskar's,
if you are destined to be born in the house of a blacksmith ... It is natural
you become a blacksmith. You become a blacksmith not of your Atman's sweet will.
You enter the "Chakravayuha of Life" bound by the samskar's of your earlier births.
You need strong will power to plan and methodically come out of this "Chakravayuha"
... Enter a profession of your choice. You
become the master of your destiny based on your will power. You who continue to
live in the prison of "Chakravayuha" are wasting valuable time on the alter of
ignorance. Life is not a burden unjustly imposed. You have power within you to
come out of the "Chakravayuha". Life is a gift, a boon from God, to enjoy the
beautiful World created by it.
The animal or plant Life is never able to get out of the "Chakravayuha of Life".
They get reprieve after manifesting as a Human Being. "God" vested power to think
and excel only with Human Beings. Break the bonds of "slavery from within" ...
The "Chakravayuha of Life". Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King thought par excellence
and never let "Chakravayuha of Life" bog them down. Rise
from slumber "Dharma"
... Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined. One is
destined to be born in a particular family based on Karma of past lives. You as
a child are bound to adopt the family profession or a profession to the liking
of the head of the family. No child can choose one's profession ... you do not
know what suits best. Decision
taken by your parents is binding ... You start on a journey of Life framed by
them. You start working with little interest, the "Atman" within prompting changeover
at the first opportunity. You realize the "Eternal Truth" ... human form is only
a "clothing for the "Atman" within. You take a wise decision and become a leader
in a profession of your calling.
Live a Life of content full of joys and happiness ... Happiness which comes from
within. Happiness gained from materialistic achievements is alluring. Keep away
from it. Live as a closed knit family. Love all living beings. The subtle truth
hidden in the sacred Scriptures of every religion is same. All religions are different
paths for obtaining a common goal.
Understand the "Eternal truth" i.e. "who am I", for "I" is not the manifested
form i.e. a "jiva" but is the "Atman" within, the true inner
self. Realize the cosmic truth
Understand the true
purpose of your cosmic journey. Start living a Life of content for thou can't
harm anyone. Every "jiva" has an "Atman" within. All Atman's generate from the
same source ... All are the same. All Atman's are mirror images of the physical
self. "Atman" within every "jiva" being same ... Can we harm our brethren "jiva"
be it a Human, animal or plant. Every
Human Being while plucking a ripe fruit feels happy. Pluck an unripe one ... you
feel guilty. Are you not shortening the Life of a jiva ... Disturbing the balance
of nature. Had it not been so ... You would pluck everything in its early stages.
Do you relish eating an unripe fruit. Artificial ripening affect the taste ...
Causes gastric disorders.
Rapid Scientific advancements makes us commit blunders unknowingly. some are inevitable.
Most are committed to satisfy financial greed ... the inherent lust of a Human
Being. We incur wrath of the nature for committing such offenses. "None is supposed
to meddle with the affairs of his". back
to reincarnation the truth behind taking re-birth Past
Life Past
Life: Wanting to know who I was in my Past Life?
Before we tread into
the domain of Past Life... we need to understand the present and the future carefully.
Before indulging in our Past Life we also need to know the purpose of life journey
as a whole.
Starting from the beginning... in the chronological order
as the evolution took place... we shall find that we started the journey as an
Amoeba (single cell formation)... this was the first manifestation which occurred
in the life of every Human Being.
Traveling further into the Past Life
we find the evolutionary tendencies existing within every living being prompted
this single cell formation to multiply into two cell formation and finally multi-cell
organisms. (All these form the core of Past Life of every Human Being).
With passage of time... the multi-cell organism evolved into an insect, then into
plant life, an animal and finally as a Human Being. It takes an average of about
7.3 million manifestations before every journey culminates into the level of a
Human Being. A long journey of about 80 earthly million years!
This is by no standard a
small journey by our Soul Atman existing within every living being. Here while
talking of Past Life we also need to understand that the journey is being undertaken
by the Soul within every living being and our body... the manifest from is but
the outer covering for every Soul Atman which is necessitated for our soul Atman
cannot remove the dross from within on its own. It requires a body for this purpose.
our soul atman the spirit within Soul Atman never
desires to look back into the Past Life... then why is it so that the manifest
body... the form of a Human Being strongly desires to look back into the Past
Life. Knowing very well that it is not possible to retrace our steps and walk
into our Past Life... still the desire within most human beings to look back into
the Past Life is very strong.
Why is it so... why do we not get out of
the clutches of the remembrances of our Past Life (if any) for ever? Is it by
any means possible to look back into the Past Life... no, it is not within the
means of an average Human Being to look back into the Past Life but some astrologers
and people with Tantric powers can look back into our Past Life. But to what avail!
Trying to look back into the Past Life carries no meaning... what we were in our
Past Life, what is our relationship with our Past Life, maybe after knowing some
incidents of the Past Life we may be able to change our future life... is the
hope of many, why?
Why do we fail to understand that such a phenomenon
of reflecting back into the Past Life is not permitted by God Almighty? Had it
been so... every Human Being, rather every living being would have remembered
all the events of past lives... but the truth is absolutely adverse? We do not
carry even faint memories of our Past Life the moment we step into the present
life.
Remember for a moment that if you come to know that the best friend
of yours in this life was the cause of your death in the immediate Past Life...
would you be able to carry the same relationship as you are doing it now? Maybe...
never!
Also if you come to know that you were born into the house of your
present parents to avenge your death in one of your past lives... then what would
be your fate in this life? Would you continue to give the same respect to your
parents... or maybe you go a step further and become the cause of death of your
parents in this life! The
total crux of the Past Life is relegated by the power of karma. It is karma and
karma alone which plays a very vital role from one manifestation to another. The
complete residual balance of our acts and omissions in a particular life is carried
forward to the next life only through process of Karma. As we perform so shall
we get... nothing more or less!
Whatever was the result of our earlier
manifestation led us to the next manifestation. If the balance of karma resulted
in our being born in the house of a cobbler... then, by no means it was possible
that we would have been born in the house of a king. Yet, if we desire so in present
life then we need to perform the Karma accordingly in present life and only if
the balance of karma in present life at the end of life permits our being born
in the house of a king in next manifestation... it shall be so and none can change
our destiny!
On the contrary... if the Karma (the actions performed by
us in totality) performed by us in present life demands our being born in the
house of a farmer in the next life than it shall hold good... come whatever may!
None can change the destiny of any being except the being himself. Even God Almighty
who always acts as on onlooker (Dhrishta in Hinduism) never interferes in the
working of his.
The balance of karma from one life to another gets passed
on to the next life through the complex process of chromosomes which get activated
during the union of the parents. The child thus born carries the balance karma
of all the previous lives one has lived. It is simply like the balance of accounts
in a balance sheet which get carried forward from one year to another.
If we are talking of the year 2004 then we are only concerned with the closing
balance of the year 2003 for the closing balance of the year 2002 was already
incorporated in the balance sheet of the year 2003.
We also must remember
that the present phase of life is a part of the total journey of 8.4 million manifestations
which can occur in the life of a Soul (Atman as in Hinduism). It is at the end
of the journey that the Soul liberates for ever from the cycle of birth
and death... and subsequently the Human Being is said to gain salvation
moksha in Hinduism.
The journey for the Soul from the first manifestation
as an amoeba to the last manifestation as a
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ or Prophet
Mohammed... is spread over a maximum of 8.4 million manifestations.
It is purely dependent upon every Human Being when one desires to curtail the
journey and achieve the state of Salvation Moksha.
We also need to remember
that contrary to the standard practices in account books... some events of past
lives do not fructify in that particular manifestation or the next. It is possible
that the karma enacted upon in a particular manifestation may fructify four manifestations
later and this is the cause of all agony existing on Mother Earth. Why so?
While deliberating on the
subject of Past Life... we need to remember that on the spiritual plane... whatever
phase of life we are passing through is not dependent upon the balance of karma
of the earlier lives and the karma performed by us in present life alone. It is
also possible that a certain karma performed by us in one of our previous lives
may all of a sudden fructify and spoil the game (known as Prarabdha karma in Hinduism).
The vice versa may also happen.
Explaining the theory of Past Life further...
we need to understand that we sometimes find that many people who continue to
flout the set patterns of the society by carrying out a horde of sins yet continue
to enjoy privileges which should not be available to them. Explaining this further...
such a phenomenon is only possible for these people have in their store... a huge
asset of pious deeds performed in Past Life.
It is only when the accumulated
balance of the pious deeds gets nullified in present life shall these people face
the wrath of the society. Never before! To the contrary we also find good people
carrying out pious deeds in present life and yet continue to suffer. It is only
because they have a good negative balance of karma from the Past Life in their
hold and unless this negative balance (from the Past Life) is nullified by the
pious deeds of the present life... such people can never enjoy happiness.
Trying to understand the complex process of the Past Life is not difficult, yet
trying to get back into the Past Life carries no meaning for if we are suffering
in present life... we need to carry out pious deeds and accumulate Punya Karma
(positive balance of karma) in present life without heeding to the Past Life in
any way. There is no other way to come out of the negative Past Life.
Life has been made like
that by God Almighty. None can challenge his authority. Why brood over the Past
Life and spoil the present life. If we are to get out of the ills faced by us
in present life and which resulted because of the Past Life... the only way out
is never thinking of the Past Life and concentrating on the affairs of the present
life in order to accumulate more and more of Punya Karma (positive karma) in our
favor. This is the only way out of our Past Life! Why spoil the future
by indulging in acts (trying to regress into the Past Life) detrimental to our
leading a happy life in next manifestation. We need to live a life of concentration...
our every effort leading to earning Punya Karma (a positive balance of karma)
in our favor... the only way to leading a healthier and fruitful life! (It is
time we stopped thinking what was i in a Past Life) back
