Coming Back The Science of Reincarnation

[Guest guest]

Humble Pranams at the divine lotus feet Of our beloved Bhagawan, continued............ "The living being is eternal," The pure soul continued,"and has no relation with the so-called fathers and mothers.He falsely accepts himself as their son and acts affectionately.After he dies,however,their relationship is finished.Under these cicumstances,one should not be falsely involved with the jubiliation and lamentation.The living entity is eternal and imperishable,He has no begenning and no end,nor does he take birth or die. The living being is equal in quality to the Supreme LORD.Both are spiritual personalities.But because the living entity is so small,he is prone to be illusioned by the material energy,and thus he creates bodies for himself accroding to his different desires and activities." The Vedas

tell us that the soul is responsible for his lives in the material world,where he is trapped in the body.if he likes,he can remain sufferring in the prison house of material existence,or he can return to his original home in the spiritual world.Although god arranges through the material energy to give the living beings the bodies they desire,the lords' true desire that the conditioned souls get off the punishing merry-go-round of material life and return home,back to GODHEAD. Suddenly the boy became silent,as the pure soul left the body of the child,and the body fell lifeless to the floor.Chitrakethu and the other relatives were astonished.They cut the shackles of their affection and gave up their lamentation . Then they performed the funeral ceremony,cremating the body.Queen Krutadyuti's co-wives,who had poisoned the child,were very much ashamed.While lamenting,they remembered the instructions of

Angira and gave up their ambition to bear children. Following the directios of the brahmana priests,they went to the bank of the sacred river,Yamuna,where they bathed and prayed daily,atoning for their sinful activities. Because King Chitraketu and his queen had become fully cognizant of spiritual knowledge,including the science of re-incarnation,they easily gave up the affection that leads to pain,fear,grief, and illusion. Although this attatchment for the material body is very difficult to overcome,because they severed it with the sword of transcedental knowledge,they were able to give it up easily. to be continued................................
