Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Namaste: An explicit and implicit answer to your question is provided in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 verses 20-24 by Lord Krishna: The soul is never born or dies; nor does it exist into coming into being. For it is unborn, eternal, everlasting and primeval; even though the body is slain, the soul is not. Arjuna how will the man who knows this soul to be imperishable, eternal and free from birth and decay, cause anyone to be killed, or kill anyone? As a man discarding worn-out clothes, takes other new ones, likewise the embodied soul, casting off worn-out bodies, enters into others which are new. Weapons cannot cut it nor can fire burn it; water cannot drench it nor can wind make it dry. For this soul is incapable of being cut; it is proof against fire, impervious to water and undriable as well. This soul is eternal, omnipresent, immovable, constant and everlasting. In the world of illusion (mAyA) we do witness: birth and death of thoughts and they do reincarnate! birth and death of desires and they do reincarnate! birth and death of faith and they do reincarnate! birth and death of fame and they do reincarnate! and this list enlarges, contracts and they also reincarnate!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Namaste, A samsari incarnates (hybridized with ones spouse) for every craved objective as ones own sibling... sensor = consciousness (individual Self), sensing = pleasuring, sense organ = sensing parts of human body, sense objects = human body and other objects, samsara = state of the sensor identifying with the senses samsari = Human body(sense object) in samsara quest Pranams V.Srinivasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
