RESURRECTION AND REINCARNATION M.M.NINAN Katha Upanishad 6.1-5, 10-11, 13-16 "The tree of eternity has its roots in the sky, and its branches reach down to earth. It is God; it is the immortal soul. The whole universe comes from God; his energy burns like fire, and his power reverberates like thunder, in every part of the universe. In honor of God the sun shines, the clouds rain, and the winds blow. Death itself goes about its business in fear of God. If you fail to see God in the present life, then after death you must take on another body; if you see God, then you will break free from the cycle of birth and death. God can be seen, like the reflection in a mirror, in a pure heart. 73
RESURRECTION AND REINCARNATION M.M.NINAN When the senses are calm and the mind is motionless, then your heart is pure; you have reached the highest state of consciousness, in which you are unified with God. If this state of consciousness is firm and secure, so it can never be broken, then you are free. To calm the senses and still the mind, you must abandon the self. You must renounce 'I' and 'me' and 'mine'. You must suppress every desire that surges around the heart. You must untie every knot of attachment. A hundred and one lights radiate from the heart. One of them shines upwards to the crown of the head. This points the way to immortality. Every other light points to death." “Like corn, does a mortal ripen; like corn, does he spring to life again” (Kathopanishad). The Doctrine of Karma Karma means action. It is not particularly physical action. Any action in body, mind and spirit comes under this definition. The Law of Karma is the basis of any science. All cosmos, including God form one connected unit in all the various realms of the universe with God himself beyond and above forming infinite, ultimate reality. Any change at any point of the realm will result in a series of consequences. This law is inherent in existence within the bounds of time, conceivable dimensions where changes can take place whatever the substance of dimensions are whether material, mental or otherwise (which is usually termed spiritual). The Law of Karma means the law of causation. Wherever there is a cause, there is an effect which goes on. This transmission in science are found within the terms of transfer of energy, vibrations or vibes, and action. These are material science terms but we need to think these in terms of other realms of mind and spirit. Just as gravity is a universal law of material world, the law of Karma is the law of cosmos and does not depend on the existence of a Creator God and His involvment in human life. Every Jiva by virtue of its existence have to produce the Karma. In fact Karma is the central tenant in the anti-theistic Buddhism and non-theistic Jainism right from the 5th century BC. This is the law of Karma. 74
