Does reincarnation continue infinitely?
Does reincarnation come infinitely or is it a finite number? it's not infinite but as we go on it depends on us it is our desires that power the wheel of reincarnation, sometimes you may have seen this image of a big giant wheel in which the wheel is moving round and round so like that we go through various species in the cycle of reincarnation, various bodies all of this is our desire so the kind of desires we have, the kind of experiences we want to enjoy, they determine where we go and what we do in this life and they determine where we go and what we do in the next life also so as long as we love the temporary things of this world till then we will take birth again to temporary things but learn to love the eternal and if our love for the eternal becomes greater than the love for the temporary then we go out of the cycle and we attain the eternal now what exactly is eternal that is revealed to different degrees in different traditions that eternal is all attractive supreme being he has infinite presence and infinite light which permeates all of the world but along with that light that absolute is also a person and that person is all loving and all lovable so the process of bhakti yoga is the yoga of love so we in the yoga of love we train ourselves to direct our love towards the eternal and as we keep practicing bhakti then our love for the eternal starts increasing more and more and if this life itself we can practice bhakti and make our love for the eternal greater than the love for the temporary things of this world then this life itself can be the end of our reincarnation cycle and we can go beyond reincarnation it's like somebody can have a tenant in one house their tenant period expires they go to another house then they stay there, they don't have to come out so like that if we grow spiritually in terms of developing our love for the spiritual, for the eternal then we acquire enough credits by which we rise to the spiritual level of reality so sometimes.
