The truth behind Doctrine of

Reincarnation

In our physical body there

exist a causal body called
Jiva

Jiva transmigrates from one body to another body

based on their Karmic [performed deeds] reactions.

This transmigration
is called
reincarnation.

Whatever good or bad

actions we (jiva)
perform while living in
the present / past
body get stored in the
subtlest form

This subtlest form is called vasanas

The type/quality of physical body we get

to live this life is decided

on the basis of vasanas.

Accordingly the type / quality of life of Jiva

is based on action performed by him.

in present life

and past life.

Action(Karma) performed by Jiva

can be of three types
Sanchit
Prarabdha
and Agami .

These three type of Karmas

can be explained by way
of very good example of
Rice Farming.

All those good and bad past actions

performed by Jivas in past many life

and which has not yet fructified

are called sanchit karmas.

After Rice Cultivation

when the Rice
We harvest it.

are ready for harvesting.

Clean it. And store it in granary.

The Rice stored in granary

can be compared with sanchit karmas .

Small portion of

sanchit karmas

which have ripened

and are ready to be experienceda by Jiva
are called prarabdha karmas.

Small portion of that stored rice

that has been removed from storage,
husked, and readied
for cooking and eating

can be compared
with prarabdha
Karmas.

Our that actions

which we are
performing in present
and which are yet
to become
sanchit karmas
are called
agami karmas.

Rice which are

being planted in the field

to produce a
future crop
Can be
compared with
Agami Karmas

Prarabdha karmas can be divided into three

types
fixed,
fixed-unfixed,
and unfixed.

Fixed karmas are those

which are intense
and are non changeable
and we have to experience it
despite our all effort to avoid them.

Fixed karmas situationWe must have

experienced such a
situation in life
when even after hard work
we were unable to succeed.

Fixed unfixed karmas are those

which are less intense
and are changeable
by way of intense effort.

Fixed-unfixed karmas situation-

We must have
faced situation in
life
when big
success
was achieved
by intense
effort.

Unfixed karmas
are those which
can be easily altered.

Unfixed
karmas
SituationMany a times

We must have faced

a situation in life
where big success was achieved
by way of small effort.

Can we now safely

assume
that in fixed and unfixed
karmas situation
we should
sit idle
and should not
put any effort.

The law of karma

does not preaches
idleness
The law says we
should perform
all our actions
putting 100% effort
with honesty and
hard work

because result of our action

will be decided on the basis of
fixed

fixed-unfixed
and unfixed Karmas.

Its a blessing of God, that we do

not have the power to know
which karmas
are fixed
fixed-unfixed
and unfixed

If god would have given this power to us then

we would have acted intensly only in case of
fixed-unfixed karmas

and in other situation we would have been idle.

Same actions again and again leads

to making of tendencies
tendencies in turn leads to

making of vasanas.

These vasanas
forms a basis

for deciding new life

for jiva

and decides the

type of body he will get

and quality of
life he will lead.

There was no great thinker in

past who had not,

nor any in the present who has

not accepted,expressly or
tacitly, these logical conclusions
about Doctrine of Reincarnation
Buddha constantly made
references to his
previous births

European poets
Virgil

and Ovid

regarded the doctrine as perfectly

self - evident

Josephus observed that the belief in reincarnation

was widely accepted among the Jews of his age

Solomons Book of Wisdom says:

To be born in
sound body
with sound limbs
is a reward of the
virtues of past lives

and who does not remember

the famous saying of the learned son of
islam who declared
I died out of stone and I become a plant
I died out of plant and become
an animal;
I died out of the animal and
became a man.
Why then should I fear to die?
When did I grow less by dying
I shall die out of man and shall become an angel!!

Christ Himself has, if not directly, at least indirectly,proclaimed

the Doctrine of Reincarnation when He told His disciples

John, The Baptist, was Elijah

If we do not agree to Doctrine of

Reincarnation

then we have to agree

The worldly matters

operates in very
haphazard way

and no one is there to

control it

In case we do not agree to the

existence of Doctrine of
Reincarnation
then we have to conclude:

If there exist a God, then he is very cruel

as those persons whose

actions are good in this birth
are suffering

and those engaged in bad actions

are enjoying life

Do we have answer to a situation

Where corrupt people
gets
all material
enjoyment
of life.

Those faithful one

Whose life is
full of
good deeds

are suffering from

dreaded incurable disease

Those little
ones
whose deeds are
still to be
recognised as
good or bad
are suffering.

All these situations

in life
are explained only
by
The Doctrine of
Reincarnation
