Reincarnation is a belief that soul never dies even after real death. Soul survives physical death, and is reborn into a new physical life, the passing of the soul from one body to the next. We are born again and again to confront and perfect our Karma. To know the laws of action and reaction so instinctively and purely, that we never transgress them, is true enlightenment. At that point, our souls are free of Karma, and free to join with "The One" in a state of Nirvana. The soul is entrapped in what is called the wheel of birth and rebirth and this is what is called karma; one must come back to pay off their debts in the next lifetime. Ones present condition on earth was determined by their previous actions in their former life.
The Eastern religions of Buddhism and Hinduism always believed reincarnation, but the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, native North and South Americans, and the Aboriginal peoples of Australia also traditionally hold this belief.
Some famous sayings about reincarnation:
Plato
"The
Soul is older than body. Souls are continuously born over again into this
life."
William Wordsworth
"Our birth is but a sleep and a
forgetting, the soul that rises with us, our life's star, Hath had elsewhere
its setting, and cometh from afar."
Proof of reincarnation:
As Geologists infer past geographical events from the present structure of land, in the same manner by observing present mental tendencies and predispositions we can infer their causes in previous lives.
Still many people don't believe in reincarnation however with time lots of scientific proofs are coming up which will convince everyone about the truth and realty of reincarnation. So lets see what happens....
