REBIRTH
In one life one gains experiences,
an experience moulds one into a new form-
one is reborn.
Each experience is marked by one rebirth.
In one life one is reborn several times-
a journey from an unconscious state to a conscious one.
The exceptional case is that
many remain sub-conscious till death,
they may or may not have taken rebirth.
In maximum cases the conscience awakes
but for the exceptional one it remains covered with dirt forever.
I don’t know what happens after death-
one may reborn,
one may rest in heaven or rot in hell,
one’s material body may be turned into ashes only.
But I do believe that the consciousness never dies.
