What is proof of reincarnation

When looking for the scientific or logical proof of reincarnation, the following statement by the famous Sherlock Holmes, sprang up in my mind.

...when you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

-Sherlock Holmes, from The Blanched Soldier

This is one statement that indicates a profound understanding of the works, by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Effectively, we can use plain logic to prove or disprove statements.

We will try to understand the proof of reincarnation through plain logic here, on the premise that what is true for one will be true for another.

How does nature support the idea of Karma?

We all know that when we sow a seed and water it regularly, it germinates, grows, flowers and provides us fruits.

We all know that when we let our drainage other effluents into the clean and pure river, the waters get contaminated and over a period of time, the once pristine water way, becomes an open sewage.

We have seen many such contaminated rivers in the world.

We all know that when we take a loan from a person, we have to repay the loan along with the appropriate interest.

We all know that we pay taxes on all services the government renders us.

We all know that when we start cutting trees from the forests, it disturbs the natural cycle and over a period of time, rainfall becomes erratic, monsoon fails and water becomes scarce.

Why do people say there is no God?

When we reflect on all the above instances, we can understand that there is a system in place in the Universe. We all agree that if there is an action, there is bound to be a reaction; action begets reaction. Reincarnation too is based on the same principle.

Man, in his inherent foolishness and pride, thinks that he is in charge of all that happens around him. So much so, that he has become reckless.

How else can we explain all the nuclear explosions that were done in the name of science, underground?

We fail to realize that, for one thing that we see, there are a hundred things that slip through our mind's eye.

Our focus to life is the 100 odd years that we live in this planet, no more. If we had a larger perspective, may be we could understand things better. When we see the bits and pieces and not the whole picture, our judgement becomes clouded and prejudiced.

As we live our lives mechanically, on the one hand, we see ruthless people taking advantage of others, in their quest for pleasures and wealth in this world. We also see that they are not punished for their misdeeds.

On the other hand, in real life, we see innocent people getting a raw deal, people not getting what they should, in spite of working hard in life and other such untold miseries for people around us.

This in fact becomes one of the main reasons for people to shout out loud that there is no God, because if God were there, He/She would have interfered and ensured justice.

What is the proof of reincarnation

For us, this same fact becomes the strong proof of reincarnation. Because, when someone has not done wrong and is getting punished for no apparent reason, it can only mean one thing. That he/she or his/her ancestors have done something wrong sometime in the past. Of which, neither he/she nor we know nothing of.

Whether there is God or no God, that is a topic for another article, people fail to recognize that whatever we do, we get the appropriate reaction.

In fact, all these sufferings and miseries around us, should make us more honest and more straightforward in our dealings, because, all these suffering that we see are the result of our own actions in the past. This is our proof of reincarnation.

God doesn't come into the picture at all.

What is at play is cause and effect. Yes, we are talking about what is discussed in almost all religions; Karma. What we are trying is to do is to bring some understanding of it, using simple logic for everybody to understand the works.

But, where is the logical proof of Karma in action? We see that a young child, which is innocent and has not done any harm to anybody, is suffering from an ailment, causing pain for itself and for others, the father, mother and the close relatives.

This defies plain logic. According to natural law, a man doing a bad deed should be punished. And as we see it, he isn't punished. Similarly, a good person that we see gets a raw deal from his employer and suffers a lot. Again, as we see it, this is unjustified. 

We know that the child is innocent and from the above examples, we also know that nature does not go wrong. Nothing in nature happens without a valid reason.

This alone can be taken as logical proof that there has been a past life for the child, the child is a reincarnation from a past life.

If a person involved in a hit and run accident, goes home and changes the vehicle. But, the next day he is arrested. Would an argument that he is not the person hold water, just because he is today driving another vehicle? Likewise, in our many lives, our bodies change, but whatever actions we did in our previous vehicles continue to matter.

Proof of reincarnation from so called Modern Science

Biometrics is the word that is becoming popular these days. Biometrics is the automatic identification of somebody based on certain physiological or behavioral characteristics, which are unique to that individual. These may be fingerprints, voice pattern when speaking, iris pattern, keystroke rhythms while typing and so on. These unique patterns may not be tampered with easily.

The most popular among them are iris and finger print identification. We also know that saving of petabytes of data within a space of a few millimeters is possible in today's technology.

Now, we have been born with a unique iris and finger prints for a long time now. Which means that we have been tracked for a long time too. These scientific developments of now only helps us understand that this is not a new system.

Whoever made us, let us into this world with an embedded tracking device. This tracking device is capable of tracking us for the any number of births that we take in this world.

All our actions, good and bad are recorded and our biometrics are used for evaluation later on.

There is an interesting research possibility here. We can check if the biometric data of a long deceased person matches a biometric data of a living individual, which may lead us to breakthroughs in reincarnation research.
