GIVE IT A THOUGHT
Rebirth (Reincarnation) Explained
Basically thoughts representing unfulfilled desires take birth in order to get themselves fulfilled.
The Concept:
The thoughts are subtle form of life.(concept)
All the forms of life want to continue itself (jiveshna) i.e no one wants to die.(fact)
But for that (to continue) energy is required.(fact)
And to produce the energy needed a proper instrument is required.(fact)
But the trouble with the thoughts (although they are subtle form of life) is that they do not have instrument to produce the required energy for their continuation/survival, but have the basic desire to survive.
Hence they become parasite and thrive on our energy.(perhaps true)
Perhaps that is why the average brain although being only 2% of total body weight consumes 20% of total energy produced by the body (medical facts).
What happens in the end (at the time of death) is that a no. of desires remains unfulfilled.(concept)
And all these desires try to continue its life but the instrument supplying the needed energy is no more working.(concept)
Hence they start searching for a suitable body in order to complete their life cycle.(concept)
Some of them or all of them (who knows) get body in the womb.(concept)
When the child comes out from womb he does not remember the thought/desire which caught this new instrument (child's body) because of nature's mechanism of placing those thoughts in unconscious part.(concept)
Perhaps sometimes due to fluke of the nature the thought slips into conscious part i.e. the conscious part formed in the body touches the unconscious part where the desire which caught this body is present there trying to somehow get itself fulfilled and one(brain) starts remembering his earlier birth because of the fact that the unfulfilled desire is related to other thoughts of those time/that of previous instrument.(concept)
The above should be taken just as concept to understand the phenomenon of rebirth (reincarnation).
It is like when we were in the school we used to take x=5 at the initial stage of solving a mathematical problem.
In the end x was not found there.
The above concept is like X, but perhaps is able to explain the intricacies of this phenomenon without contradicting many other statements (so called truths) related to life.
