Reincarnation - Total Thoughts (February 9, 2009)

Reincarnation

-When taken as a fact, reincarnation allows a greater understanding of "Why some are born kings and other beggars" - in turn we become more cognisant of our decisions, choices and tendencies

-Reincarnation is of the mind wherein it takes up a different body - the mind can live sans a body but the body cannot live sans a mind

-Every action of ours directly impacts those around us - our past has scripted our present associations i.e. why we were born in a particular family and have particular friends, etc.

-All of our karmas are tied together - there are no random relations

-Conviction of reincarnation allows for a more peaceful life because we begin to live for ALL of our lives

-Reincarnation is a motivation for change - since our vasanas (tendencies) are carried from one life to another, we should strive to cultivate more spiritual vasanas

-Evasion of responsibility is a sin - so committing suicide is the greatest sin

-Reincarnation demystifies death - if we appreciated this truth we would stop living in fear of death and change
