Why one is reborn

[Guest guest]

" When an unbaked pot is broken, the potter can use the mud to make a new one;

but when a baked one is broken, he cannot do the same any longer. So when a

person dies in a state of ignorance, he is born again but when he becomes well

baked in the fire of true knowledge and dies a perfect man, he is not born

again.

 

A grain of boiled paddy does not sprout again when sown. Only unboiled paddy

sends forth the shoot. Similarly when one dies after becoming a Siddha, a

perfect man, he has not to be born again, but an Asiddha, an imperfect man, has

to be born again until he becomes a Siddha. "

Sri Ramakrishna
