Rebirth Propounded By Hinduism Is Truly Rational

 2)Re

Today a thought was passing through my mind...How Nature is hoodwinking us...

The day

 starts with the beautiful sunrise in the morning ( of course depending on the season) then gradually the scorching noon then the pleasant evening with colourful sunset and in the end concludes with a rejuvenating night... Again the cycle repeats. We get a false feeling that we haven't lost any time because the daily cycle repeats endlessly. What if I couldn't get a job done today. Exactly similar day is repeating tomorrow... So are the seasons.. Summer, monsoon, spring, winter   ( depending on the region on earth) which repeat next year.

However, though I'm able to get fresh days and seasons endlessly and hence apparently have no sense of loss I REALISE that TIME is taking a toll on me.

 From the gleeful childhood days to romantic youth I'm g.. r.. a.. d.. u.. a.. l.. l..y entering the not so pleasant middle age and then agony-ridden old age and finally am bound to end up in the grave.

Why couldn't Nature make my aging also cyclic?!! After old age  why can't Nature take me to childhood, youth, middle age and yet again to old age without end just like the recurring days and recurring  seasons ???

When I think further, I realise that  there is a stark difference between repetitive cycles of days/ seasons and the lack of similar cycle of aging I blamed Nature about. In the former the evening turns to the morning of the next day after an UNKNOWN reversal of the cycle that happens in the MYSTERY of the night. To simulate that in the process of aging the old man cannot abruptly tranform to a child. He HAS to end up in the grave and then the MYSTERY of re-birth has to happen in a womb to be born as a child and to repeat the cycle...

So the re-birth  which Hinduism propounds is the answer of Nature to the question as to why there is no REVERSAL of the aging process when alive.
