The Teachings of BhagavanSri Ramana Maharshiin His Own WordsCHAPTER ONEDEATH AND RE-BIRTHBhagavan would never admit that differences in mode ofexpression or formulation of doctrine between the variousreligions signified real contradiction, since the Truth to whichthey point is One and Immutable.Devotee: Is the Buddhist view that there is no continuous entityanswering to the idea of the individual soul right or not? Is thisconsistent with the Hindu doctrine of a reincarnating ego? Isthe soul a continuous entity which reincarnates again and again,according to the Hindu doctrine, or is it a mere conglomerationof mental tendencies?Bhagavan: The real Self is continuous and unaffected. Thereincarnating ego belongs to a lower plane, that of thought. Itis transcended by Self-realisation.Reincarnations are due to a spurious offshoot of Beingand are therefore denied by the Buddhists. The human state isdue to a mingling of the sentient with the insentient.11 Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, 136.
