Swami Vivekananda on Reincarnation:How can we inherit the entire experience of living creatures without reincarnation?


Swami Vivekananda continues; ‘If in the bioplasmic cell the infinite amount of impressions from all time has entered, where and how is it?  …This impression is in the mind, that the mind comes to take its birth and rebirth, and uses the material which is most proper for it, and that mind which has made itself fit for only a particular kind of body will have to wait until it gets that material…The theory then comes to this, that there is hereditary transmission so far as furnishing the material to the soul is concerned. But the soul migrates and manufactures body after body, and each thought we think, and each deed we do, is stored in it in fine forms, ready to spring up again and take a new shape…When I die the resultant force of them will be upon me.’ (2.222-3)
