In a world that is concerned with only the here and coupled along with instant gratification, it should not be a surprise that reincarnation is understood by few. What many fail to see is that reincarnation is actually makes more sense than many other teachings. For instance, with reincarnation, we can see how thing corresponds with one another. In this way, we can see how one generation is connected with another.
One aspect of reincarnation relies upon human recognition. It is clear that we cannot rely upon recognition or imagination when it comes to this concept because human recognition is limited to experience and that in and of itself is limited. When the mind is opened to the Baha" religion, other aspects other than the here and now are examined and considered. One of those aspects is reincarnation. When it is considered in its spiritual context rather than the physical one...
Once we open our spiritual eyes to the concept of reincarnation and can consider it without the minutia of the material world, we can explore its significance. Only then, will we become aware of all that exists in the world.
It is extremely difficult in the world that we live in today to consider things that are not electronic and forms of communication that are not immediate. However, what we must never forget is how this world would be without modern technology. In its truest form, humanity is spiritual. When we strip away all of the distractions of life, we are forced to look at ourselves as spiritual beings. In doing so, we cannot ignore the fact that we are simply the part of something greater than ourselves and our continuance in that cycle of life can only be completed through the cycle of reincarnation.
