Hornets' Nest

Is Punarjanam, a belief or something way too complicated for us to comprehend.? Have we fooled ourselves to not to believe in this ? if so who or wat fooled us and why ? ----I don know..... i don understand.....

Apparently Nachiketa (mythical character) found out about life after death and was freed from death. Is this story about Nachiketa a fiction to talk about punarjanam? so that pops the question yet again! Is punarjanam a false notion?

"...There is rebirth of character, but no transmigration of a self. Thy thought-forms reappear, but there is no ego-entity transferred. The stanza uttered by a teacher is reborn in the scholar who repeats the words.Only through ignorance and delusion do men indulge in the dream that their souls are separate and self-existent entities. Thy heart, O Brahman, is cleaving still to self; thou art anxious about heaven but thou seekest the pleasures of self in heaven, and thus thou canst not see the bliss of truth and the immortality of truth" --- Budha

Is budha truth about re-birth -"migration of soul" ?.so is soul different from our body? are they two different entities . what defines me then? who's soul do i have now then ? why was i chosen to be the carrier of the soul ? now when i say "i" did i mean my body or my soul ?

How is the soul created ? that puts a question ! is sciencetology real? are these souls comin from a different place ? if so why are they coming to earth. what attracts them here?

so mind, body , heart and soul . ha ha ...what do i say more? and my karma dictates what i'm gonna be reborn as ! how does it matter? this birth human . next birth dog. prev birth pig.

what defines us ? what’s our purpose ? Have we fooled us to achieve fake goals ? Have we fooled us to strive hard to be better than our fellow humans ? why are we doing this? why this materialist life ? why this social constraint ? why am i bound in these walls that my fellow humans created ? what’s good ? who defines good ? who defines bad ?We may be mere actors in what ever the play we are in .

Until we get the bigger picture -> Life is real . we are real . period !

brilliant article!!! and a superb conclusion!! I also am fascinated by questions regarding the cycle of birth,death and rebirth.If we are born into the world due to our previous karma, why do we die and why are we reborn again??
