00:00Here in the West, there are quite a number of people who've read popular books on Hinduism
00:05who become very enthusiastic about the doctrine of reincarnation.
00:11The question is not whether the idea of reincarnation is true enough.
00:16The moot question is, is it tempting enough?
00:20And it is very tempting.
00:22Who wants to dissolve when there can be unlimited expansion even beyond this particular body?
00:29Therefore, it will spread.
00:32From where I look at it, it makes a person irresponsible and it also justifies a lot of injustice
00:40and it also makes you very future-centric.
00:44Let me do something nice so that I collect some brownie points for the next birth.
00:50This is not a spiritual construct. It is a psychological construct.
00:55There is temptation behind it. There is fear behind it.
