Rebirth and reincarnation are nothing to do with the Soul,the Self, which is unborn eternal.+

The Self is birthless, therefore, it is deathless. The one who is born lives and dies within the world is not the Self.

The idea of reincarnation is based on the birth entity (you), which lives and dies within the illusory world (waking).

The Self is the one that witnesses the coming and going of the dual (waking or dream) nondual (deep sleep) experiences.

The present experiences of birth, life, and death take place within the world. the world is a dualistic illusion; therefore, the rebirth or recantation also takes place within the illusion.

The one that is born, lives dies within the world is not the Self, therefore, rebirth and reincarnation is nothing to do with the Soul, the Self, which is unborn and eternal. The Soul is unborn and eternal because it is ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Advaitic wisdom dawns when the Soul, innermost Self, consciously remains awake in its formless nondual nature. when the substance and witness of the three states are one in essence and that essence is consciousness. Then what value is there for the universe in, which the experience of birth, life, death, and reincarnation happens? Even if you take reincarnation as reality reincarnation happens within the world, which is an illusion, from the standpoint of the formless Soul, the Self. From the standpoint of the Self

Dalai Lama said: ~ Buddhism need not be the best religion though it is most scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama [Soul] and rebirth. Dali lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth. Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted duality as a reality

People who believe in reincarnation and rebirth theories are unaware of the fact that their belief is based on a waking entity, which is the false Self within the false experience. The waking entity itself is a false self within the false experience, it means the present experience of birth, life, death and the world is a falsehood.

Thus, whatever is seen, known, believed, and experienced as the waking entity is bound to be falsehood because the Soul, the Self is birthless because it is formless. Therefore, the rebirth and reincarnation theory based on the false Self is bound to be a falsehood.

Accepting rebirth and reincarnation theory as reality is accepting the false self (waking entity or ego) as the real Self and false experience(waking) as reality. Self-realization is an impossibility if one accepts the present waking entity as the real Self because the Self is neither the waking entity nor the Self is dream entity but the Self is a formless Soul, which witnesses the coming and going of the three states without the physical apparatus.

The three states are impermanent but the Soul or consciousness, which is the witness of the three states, is permanent and eternal. in reality, the three states are one in essence. And that essence is consciousness. Therefore, there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus, consciousness (Soul) is second to none.

Deeper Self -search reveals the fact that the waking experience itself is an illusion. It means the present experience of birth, life, death, and the world are an illusion. Thus, the reincarnation theory based on the false Self within the false experience is bound to be a falsehood.

When the waking entity is not the Self, whatever theories are based on the imagined entity.

This imagined theory based on the waking entity or ego is for those lower minds set who are incapable of grasping the ultimate truth or Brahman.

People who are caught up with the idea of reincarnation and rebirth theories are not qualified for Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana because they accepted duality as reality. Birth implies duality and from the ultimate standpoint, the duality is an illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
