A Revealing Look at Birth, Life, Death, and Rebirth

Fulfilling the Soul’s Transmigration, and Ending It

As the blessed poet/saints of India often sing, to incarnate across the boundless expanse of Nature’s five elements is a difficult task for the transmigrating soul.  One’s formless Essence, Atman, or Prajnaparam, does not transmigrate, but as long as the individual’s mind holds karmic residue from past lifetimes, so long will it need to take births in relativity to dissolve it.  Then only is it free from rebirth.

    Becoming aware of the relative truth of rebirth launches one on the path to liberation from taking on forms, particularly with regard to assuming them in ignorance. Then, by tracing the soul’s travels through countless lifetimes’ of worlds and forms, and applying spiritual disciplines to disintegrate the tendencies and conditionings inherited there, one will acquire subtle inner techniques.  These introduce the soul to the truth of Liberation (jivanmukti), the final realization of the soul’s eternal oneness with Formless Reality (Brahman).  As the Father of Yoga states: “She, the primordial Shakti, strips away the overlays of name and form from the aspiring being, and returns it to its final emancipation.”
