Gita GD 05162021, Ch 2.26-30, Reincarnation, Attachments, Expectations, Karma Theory

If you want to listen to a healthy debate (part 1) on reincarnation theory - why we should accept, why we can't accept and what is the view of about 20 people who have background in engineering, sciences and trying to make sense of the world with a 'framework' they can apply to solve the mysteries of the universe - this is the group discussion you must listen to. Few things you will enjoy listening in: - Swami Vivekananda said, My own karma is sufficient explanation to the ways of the world. - Discussion In 2.27, theory of reincarnation is reinforced. - How easy it is to let go of attachments? Can we let go of the expectations from our attachments? Is there anything called 'attachment with detachment'? What does it mean? - We will detach immediately if the person we are attached to says, 'I dont give a damn.'- then we will immediately detatch ourself from that person. Why do we do this? Doesn't this indicate - without doubt that we ultimately 'love only ourself' and love others only if it is convenient for us? Hard hitting truth that one has to reflect on deeply. It may not be easy to accept. - We talk of species, neanderthals, homo sapiens and how life evolved and the concept of God - perhaps came only ~5K years ago? Or was it always there? [Short answer: Truth /Reality is always there - even if we have not discovered it; or have discovered it only 5000 years ago!] - We discuss certain challenges in science based logic and talk of subjective realities.  - Hear about the benefits one of the participants shared openly - how the knowledge helped her overcome the fear of death, bring in a sense of acceptance but still struggling to figure out how to let go of attachments, and still be attached. Hear about how the theory of Karma helps us to reconcile to the mysteries of universe.
