today all the big questions reincarnation have some of us been hit before and environmentalism
is it the new religion good morning I'm Nicky Campbell welcome to the big questions today we
are live from Leicester Grammar School welcome everybody to the big questions it's all that
progression isn't it birth death rebirth birth death rebirth until what what's the final goal
what's the finish line first of all first of all the term moksha is derived from Sanskrit root
mohawk Shia end of delusion most of humanity survives because they think they can fulfill
their desires and sort themselves out that's what human beings trying to do sort themselves
send themselves out by fulfilling desires this according to Hinduism is the delusion when you
fulfill one desire three more appear from nowhere and we forget we keep getting caught up so moksha
means you recognize that really you cannot fulfill your desire by chasing after worldly
objectives but looking for a spiritual aspect this is the meaning of the word moksha if your
poem ever disability does not relate to something in a past life je no it doesn't really this is in
fact Lane Honda was technical task because met a disabled person he said he mustered on something
buried in his past life it's utter nonsense law of karma see is a very complex phenomena says
lot of activities you do will certainly produce a result but lot of things which are completely out
of your control are going to affect your future a lot of physical force they are not under your
control lot of other human beings interacting with your life are not under your control so
the result that you have it's not just because what you set into motion a lot of other things
Ganga and produces a result that is completely out of your control you may have produce a minor
contribution to the result you you achieved this is the more mature understanding of solids
it's hugely complex this is this idea there's people make fun of Hinduism saying look oh do
you believe that your mother is pastor they should become a cow that's why worship cars
they were rubbish so trying radicular very serious in you know feature that we possess is has to be
challenged I say once you're in the human Kingdom it is highly unlikely you'll be born as an animal
or insect or a bacteria it's highly unlikely anymore oh my god how did it start because two
billion years ago the first self-replicating yes cells of them so what did the first replicating
cells do you need to cut into something that the store even started two billion years ago started
three and a half million years ago the first living being appeared on earth and this is the
this still remains a mystery modern science in order to replicate first first life form
appeared single-cell orion you have three and a half million no two billion okay two billion
I'll play belong the thing is this the thing is this the thing is it continues that something
underpinning reality is trying to many-faced itself in the material world and in the material
world start starts manifesting itself is a living things trying to something trying to
walk through in that process continues it come multiplies becomes more and more complex and it
reaches the human level because the most complex human feature in effect in effect is reflecting
the spiritual underpinning to reality okay very important look I come from the science lobby most
people say it's not scientific that's one of the criticisms I say do you understand science science
is simply observation a pattern in reality in nature and we produce a mental model to capture
that pattern and use it for our betterment to harness nature that's what science about science
doesn't prove a single thing I'm a physicist science just offers hypotheses and jumps from one
hypothesis under hypothesis to explain patterns we see in nature now reincarnation has been fully
explored by Professor Ian Stevenson where he has explored 3,000 life life stories of children a
review is return discipline as scientific as any of the scientific theories we will come across
and it's very crucial we explore this idea the reason is it has got very important relevance
for the modern world this the system whereby you learn gradually and thus know there's no judgment
you've ever through every life you learn more yeah don't you Jay it's not it's not like the Abrahamic
religions is in one strike in your eye if you get it wrong this is far more merciful isn't it if it
made you one of the greatest philosopher said if you wanted to believe in life after left the most
logical system of thought is the reincarnation of Hindus yeah and it's far more merciful absolutely
