Rebirth

poem by: AiR - Atman in Ravi
Written on Oct 08, 2021

The waves of the ocean come and go

After a dark night, the sun will glow

The Law of Cycles operates everywhere on earth

And so, after we die, we come back in a Rebirth



What is the cause of this human birth?

What was the reason we came to earth?

We didn't decide where and when we were born

It was our Karma that sounded the horn



Therefore, when we see a child born blind

We ask, 'Is God unjust; is He so unkind?'

No, God isn't unkind, our Karma is the cause

We will Realize the Truth of birth, if we pause



As we sow, so shall we reap

On earth if we sin, we sure will weep

Such is the law, what we give, we get

Apples won't grow on a mango tree, that is a bet



The Law of Karma is a Universal Law

It makes no mistake, it has no flaw

Not only does it work everywhere on earth

Even after death, it causes our Rebirth



Death is certain, everybody must die

Nobody can escape, not you, nor I

But what is death, is it the final end?

No, it is not, it is just a bend



The body dies, it is burnt to dust

But the one who was alive, leaves like a gust

Don't we say that he passed away?

But where does he go, can anybody say?



We are sure that the one who died left

Otherwise, our loved ones would have the body kept

But who is the one that has left the body behind?

Is it ME, the Ego and the Mind?



The body is just an instrument to act

The mind and ego direct it, that's a fact

The body is born, and the body must die

But the mind and ego, escape in the sky



But where do the mind and ego go?

What happens after the end of the show?

To settle their Karma, they must return to earth

There is no other option, but to take rebirth



Is it true that we go to heaven and hell?

These fairy tales cast a spell!

Heaven and hell are not far away in the stars

We return to earth, to settle our scars



And so, the cycle goes on and on

We live, we die, and we are Reborn

As long as we live as this body and mind

The mind will be Reborn, the body left behind



But when we achieve our ultimate goal

When we realize we are the Divine Soul

Then, from Rebirth, we are free

And one with our Lord, forever we will be



But how can we become one with our Lord?

To escape from Rebirth and unite with God

When we overcome our ignorance and Realize the Truth

Then, we don't plant seeds, there will be no shoot



As long as seeds of Karma we plant

Escaping from Rebirth we just can’t

The body will die when it has no breath

But we will return after our death



As long as we are ignorant, we will be Reborn

There is no other option, but a body to adorn

But once we realize we are not the body, ego, or mind

We are free from Karma and rebirth, we will find



We have two options at the moment of death

Either we will be Reborn as we lose our breath

But if we realize we are the Divine Soul

We will Unite with God, our Ultimate Goal



So today, the mystery of Rebirth let us solve

To Realize the Truth, let us resolve

And be free from the triple suffering on earth

To become one with God, not return in a Rebirth



Let us realize we are not the body and mind

The body will die and mind will rewind

All the actions that it has done

Will transfer to a new life that’s begun



But if we Realize we are not the doer of action

Then of course there will be no reaction

Then we will be from Karma free

And not have to be Reborn, we agree



For Rebirth is only for the one who does

Who lives as the ego and makes a fuss

But one who lives as the Divine Soul

He is free, achieves the Ultimate Goal



This is the purpose of our life on earth

To live as Soul and be free from Rebirth

To Realize the Truth as we live and die

And to become one with the Lord in the sky
