Swami Vivekananda on Reincarnation:The fallacy of not thinking an idea through to its logical conclusion

‘If we are going to exist in eternity hereafter, it must be that we have existed through eternity in the past.’ (2.218) Speaking about avatars or perfect human beings like Buddha or Christ, Swami Vivekananda considers them to be men who have gone through the entire history of the human race in a single life span and achieved perfection. (2.209) He considers Sri Ramakrishna to be a supreme example of such perfection.
