WHO IS REBORN?

Some people cannot fathom the concept of rebirth. They wonder how somebody can be reborn. To them, death is the end. It’s over! The body returns to dust. We cremate the body or bury it. It has no life. They think that rebirth is another fairy tale.

The concept of "reborn" is a multi-layered one and can be understood in various ways, depending on the context in which it is used.

In a spiritual or religious context, the term "reborn" often refers to the process of being reincarnated or starting a new life after death. This belief is central to many ancient cultures and religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, where it is believed that the soul is reborn into a new body after death. The idea of being reborn can bring comfort to individuals as it offers hope for a future existence beyond death and a chance to rectify past mistakes.

In a more secular context, "reborn" can refer to the process of transformation or renewal. For example, an individual who goes through a profound personal change and emerges with a new sense of purpose may be said to have been "reborn." This can also apply to communities or organizations that undergo major changes and are transformed into new versions of themselves.

Finally, the term "reborn" can also refer to the process of restoration, particularly when it comes to vintage or antique items. A vintage car that has been restored to its former glory, for example, can be referred to as "reborn." This process of restoration involves bringing an item back to its original condition and preserving its beauty and value for future generations.

In conclusion, the term "reborn" can have different meanings depending on the context, but it generally refers to a process of transformation, renewal, or restoration. Whether it is in the spiritual, secular, or material realm, the idea of being reborn holds a powerful and compelling appeal to individuals and communities alike.

Those who understand Karma and how the Law operates, Realize the Truth about rebirth. They know beyond doubt that rebirth is a reality. Just as they realize that nobody can escape from Karma, they also realize that we cannot escape from rebirth, until we are enlightened and Realize the Truth of who we are.

As long as we live as the body mind in this material world, we will create Karma. Nobody can escape from action. Every action, good or bad is recorded as our Karma. Ultimately, one day, we will die. But who dies? Don’t we say that the deceased passed away? This is only the body, the mortal remains of the one who is dead. While the dead body lies on the bed, we are sure that the one who was alive has left. That is why we destroy the body.

Who leaves the body at death? The believers of Karma know that Karma is never settled at death. There are always residual Karmas that need to be settled. Death is sudden and it does not happen after we square off our good and bad deeds. Therefore, the pending Karma is carried forward by the one who leaves the body at death.

So, who leaves the body at death? It is ME, the Mind and Ego. In fact, it is the mind and ego that direct the body to act. Those who do not understand the Law of Karma, sometimes think that it is the body that does the Karma and is rewarded or suffers. The reality is that the body is just an instrument. The mind and ego need a body to face its past Karma and to create new Karma. But Karma does not belong to the body. It belongs to ME, the Mind and Ego.

That is why, when the body dies, the Karma does not dissolve. Further, the same body does not appear in a new birth on earth. The body returns to dust. It is game over for the body. Who is reborn? It is the Mind and Ego, ME who takes birth again and again. Just like we change our clothes, the mind and ego, is not the end. It is just a bend. At death, the ME, Mind and Ego, leaves the dead body along with its pending Karma and is conceived in a new body along with its pending Karma and is conceived in a new body to settle the Karam that remains in its account. This cycle will go on and on, till we are enlightened and liberated from the cycle of rebirth.

It is a myth to believe that the Soul is reborn. The Soul is birthless and deathless. It is Divine Energy. It arrives at conception and departs at death. Therefore, neither the body nor the Soul is reborn. The Mind and Ego, the ME takes rebirth as per its Karma.

The body dies but do we know

where the deceased has gone?

The Mind and Ego, Me

gets into a new body as it is reborn.
