What happens to those who are destined to reincarnate?
What is the process of reincarnation?
This is what happens to those who are destined to reincarnate.
God, through visions He makes appear in our minds, generally between the ages of 20 and 30, gives us proof that we had a previous existence.
Each of us is, in truth, a spiritual soul, also called a spiritual being, and not the dense physical body in which we have been reincarnated, in which we reside, and with which we mistakenly identify.
We can prove this through our consciousness, which is actually the energy of our spiritual essence, the energy of the soul, and its manifestation. By spreading throughout the body, through its omnipresence, consciousness takes control and, by virtue of the life force of our spiritual essence, the life force of the soul, gives it life.
Consciousness is the proof of the soul's presence in the body.
In truth, death is merely the end of the physical body's life, which decomposes, and whose various components return to the different realms of material nature from which they originated. The body is, in reality, an inert mass of material elements.
The soul, which is immortal, continues its existence and reincarnates according to the law of karma, the law of action and reaction, also known as the law of cause and effect, and according to the nature of its actions.
It therefore has an experience separate from the dense physical body. In reality, the soul is imprisoned in an ethereal body, itself enclosed within a dense physical body. Thus, during reincarnation, it is the ethereal body that transports the soul to its new body, which a new mother will give it in her womb. The celestial beings, who are God's assistants in this process, undertake this wondrous task. It is they who place the soul destined for reincarnation in the sperm released by the father into the mother's womb. The mother, releasing the ovum, allows the two elements, sperm and ovum, to unite and give birth to an egg, a living being, for a soul now resides within it.
Thus, it is thanks to the soul that the egg will develop into an embryo, and it is again thanks to the soul that the embryo will develop into a fetus. It is the presence of the soul in the physical body, and thanks to it alone, that the physical body can develop into the body of a complete baby, a child, and then an adult. Remove the soul from the physical body, and the latter immediately collapses and dies. It is the soul that gives life to the physical body.
The Supreme Lord, Krishna, says: At the moment of death, the soul takes on a new body, as naturally as it passed, in the previous body, from childhood to youth, then to old age. This change does not disturb one who is conscious of their spiritual nature.
