| Reincarnation in a Nutshell |
The living being is eternal and the body is temporary. Indeed the body is only 'alive' due to the presence of the
soul. When the body becomes old and useless the soul leaves or transmigrates. According to how we have
behaved in this particular body will determine where our soul transmigrates to.
If we have developed spiritual consciousness and freed ourselves from all material attachments and desires then
we will return to our true home in the spiritual world, which like ourselves, is eternal. In the spiritual world we
will never have to experience the trauma of leaving a body again (death).
On the other hand if we still have some material desires or material attachments then we will not be qualified to
return to our true home in the spiritual world and we will thus have to take another body somewhere in the
material world, or reincarnate. The body we receive is determined by our actions and desires of our previous life.
These are the basics of reincarnation and transmigration.
