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.
