The Hindus and the Buddhists particularly avow the doctrine of reincarnation. On account of its rationality it is also widely accepted in the West. In view of the spread of the scientific outlook in the East, and of the gradual acceptance of the rebirth doctrine in the West, this clear and concise exposition of the doctrine in relation to the finding of modern biology will be of interest to many people.
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it -- is the true test of the sannyasin.
-Swami Vivekananda
