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).
Reincarnation is based on ignorance. Reincarnation is a religious fable based on the birth entity (ego). The experience of birth, life, death, and the world is a reality only from a dualistic perspective.
From a nondualistic perspective, there is really no reincarnation at all, either now or before. Nor will there be any hereafter. This is the truth.
Religion propagated reincarnation happens to the individual Soul after the death of the body. Some claim that the Soul goes to heaven or hell while others claim that it is reincarnated in a new body.
Reincarnation theories are based on the imagination based on the birth entity. The birth entity is the false self within the illusory world (dualistic world). The religion is dualistic because the religion holds s the experience of birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. The religion holds the Soul as an individual and the Soul is within the body. All the religious and yogic theories are based on the individual Self
From the non-dualistic perspective, the reincarnation theories collapse. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, there is no birth or death, no heaven or hell, and no reincarnation.
Religious people who are unable to assimilate the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space, think that reincarnation is true. If one imagines on the base of the ego (birth entity) then he would imagine he would new body and a new life in the new world.
Once one realizes the ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’ but ‘Self’ is the Soul then the ‘I’ ceases to be a reality and the unreality of the experience of birth, life, death, and the world is exposed. All theories about birth, life death, the world, and reincarnation belong to the dualistic illusion.
The Self is birthless, therefore, it is deathless. The one which is born lives and dies within the world (waking) is not the Self. The idea of reincarnation is based on the birth entity (waking entity or ego) which lives and dies within the illusory world (waking).
The Self is the one which witnesses the coming and going, of the dual (waking or dream) nondual (deep sleep) experiences.
When the experience of birth, life, and death takes place within the illusory universe then recantation also is part of the same illusory universe.
The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking becomes unreal when Advaitic wisdom dawns.
Advaitic Wisdom dawns when the Soul, the Self, consciously remains awake in its formless nondual nature.
When the substance and the witness of the three states are one in essence and that essence is the 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 a reality, reincarnation happens within the world, which is an illusion, from the standpoint of the formless Soul, the Self.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the t 'Self' the world in which we are born is merely an illusion. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
