Swami vivekananda on reincarnation:‘Preservation of Learning’ is inherent in the process of reincarnation


Swami Vivekananda ridicules the idea that human beings have come out of zero, starting life with a tabula rasa, and then attain to great knowledge or eternal life. ‘Neither you, nor I nor anyone present, has come out of zero, nor will go back to zero.’ (2.217) The idea of cumulative knowledge supports child prodigies and genius. It explains why we have an aptitude for certain tasks or professions.
