Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Reincarnation Reincarnation: Our essential nature is called the 'Atman' that does not die with the body. It is eternal and all pervading. Its nature is that of consciousness, existence and bliss. The body is just the outer garment, which is discarded when worn out. Cycle of Birth, Childhood, Old age, Death and rebirth is called 'Samsara' (wheel of rebirth). The soul continues to reincarnate until it realises God (or gains Self- Knowledge). The spiritual progress made in each lifetime is not wasted but helps in the next life. The only things that come with us when we die are the fruits of our actions and the character we have developed. Reincarnation only stops when we merge with God (Paramatman) or realize our true Self. That is called 'Moksha'. FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
