By believing in rebirth and reincarnation theory blocks one from realizing the Self ,which is birthless and deathless eternal.



The birth, life and death are part of the waking experience. Waking experience is mere  illusion  standpoint of the  formless  soul or consciousness, the innermost self .  It is no use of saying that, we are not born, and we do not die. Whatever is born will die. deeper self-search reveals the fact that,   the birth, life and death takes place within  waking world . The waking entity and waking world are within the waking experience.  the self is neither the waking entity nor the self is dream entity but the self is the formless Soul,which  witnesses  the coming and going of the three states.  The formless soul  or consciousness is the innermost self.   The soul or consciousness is the formless substance and witness of the three states.

  On the standpoint of the soul, the innermost self the three states are non-existent as reality. thus the three states are illusory.  The waking experience is reality on the standpoint of waking entity.  And dream is reality on the standpoint of dream entity. The one which witnesses the coming and going of the three states,  is not the waking entity,  but it is the  formless soul , the innermost self. 

 The formless Soul (consciousness), the innermost self    has no birth and has no death. The one,which is born lives and dies within the world  is  waking entity,which is not the self. the self is the soul ,which  witnesses the three states without the physical apparatus.  the soul , the innermost  self,  is ever  formless.

Thus, it is wrong to judge and say we are not born, and we do not die by limiting the self to the waking entity  or ego,which is  false self . The true self is the soul, which is the birth less and deathless eternal identity.

  If one limits the self to the waking entity alone, one gets only half-truth because  the self pervades all the three states, as its formless substance and witness.  The formless substance and witness are one in essence. that essence is consciousness. thus the three states  ceases to exist without the consciousness.  

Without realizing the  the soul, the innermost self   people say: we are not born, we do not die.   Without realizing the the fact that,  the waking entity is not the self,  it is impossible to acquire  Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana   come from depth. knowledge based on the waking entity  is mere bookish knowledge. Unity in diversity is not possible through bookish knowledge.

 When Sri,Sankara says:  The world is unreal . He never said body is unreal. He would have said only birth and death is unreal, he did not say that, he said the world is unreal.   He meant   the world including the body, because the body and world appear together and disappear together  as waking or dream.  Then one has  to  become  aware of the  existence of the formless witness,which witnesses the coming and going of the three states,  in order to realize,  the formless substance,witness and the source of the mind are one is essence. and that essence is consciousness, which is real and eternal. 

How can the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation, which take place in unreal world [waking/dream], can be true.   The one, which is aware of the birth, life death, rebirth and reincarnation [illusion/unreal], is formless Soul or consciousness, the innermost self .  The formless soul,  the innermost self is birthless and deathless.

 The  soul or consciousness, the innermost   self,  is the formless witness of the experience  of  birth, life, death and rebirth which happens within the unreal  world . Thus the birth,life death,  rebirth and world are nothing to do with the soul, the innermost self because it is birthless and deathless eternal because it is ever formless. 

  Rebirth and reincarnation theory is based on the waking entity ,which is the false self within the false experience. Even one has rebirth and reincarnation it is within the falsehood.  The body cannot reincarnate, the body and the world are created out of the same formless stuff. If one accept the rebirth and reincarnation theory  than he accepted the waking entity as real self and waking world as reality. Thus he remains ignorant of the  reality of his true existence. 

Until one views and judges on the base of flesh, bone and blood [five elements], he will not be able to grasp the non-dual truth.  Thus, one must know on what standpoint, we are not born and we do not die thoroughly, just by hearsay views, it will not lead anyone to the non-dual destination. By believing in rebirth and reincarnation  theory blocks one from realizing the Self ,which is ever  birthless and deathless eternal. 


Seeker of truth has to learn to view and judge the truth on the standpoint of the formless  soul, the innermost self, and then he will never have any doubts and confusion regarding the birth, life and death.   When one thinks and reasons deeply then only the inner revelation starts, and starts burning the dross (confusion and doubts). 

When one is able to view and judge the truth on the base of the soul as self, then only, the truth starts revealing.  This is the inner process every serious seeker experiences in his well directed pursuit of truth.  The inner dialogue will start and one will start getting answers from inner core of his existence.
