Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 REINCARNATION: The soul is its own ancestor. The soul with its past associations, tendencies and results of previous experiences, becomes associated with the body at birth. The Upanishads teach that the Self is the enjoyer when he is identified with the mind, the senses and the body. In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna gives to the human soul a great dignity, by calling it an eternal portion of the Supreme Spirit. Individualized because of ignorance, it comes to be identified with the mind and senses. This is the subtle body of man, and when it is separated from the physical body we call it death. But he who " dies " continues to be, and it is he who comes again. With all its coming and going, the Self, which is a part of the eternal Spirit, always continues to exist.
