Swami Vivekananda on Reincarnation:Knowledge comes from direct experience…






…If not in this life, then in some previous birth: ‘Without a fund of already existing experience, any new experience would be impossible, for there would be nothing to which to refer the new impression…Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know. If we have not experienced it in this life, we must have experienced it in other lives…What we call instinct in men or animals must…be involved, degenerated, voluntary actions, and voluntary actions are impossible without experience. (2.220-1)
