"Have you grown hungry there that you return to this poor place?" "Aye, most excellent Kou-en," I answered, "hungry for rest." "It shall be yours for all the days of this incarnation. But say, where is the other brother?" "Dead," I answered. "And therefore re-born elsewhere or perhaps, dreaming in Devachan for a while. Well, doubtless we shall meet him later on.
And Mahabhisha was for this cursed by Brahman, who said, 'Wretch, as thou hast forgotten thyself at the sight of Ganga, thou shalt be re-born on earth. But thou shall again and again attain to these regions. And she, too, shall be born in the world of men and shall do thee injuries. But when thy wrath shall be provoked, thou shalt then be freed from my curse.
If, at the end of a cold winter, we go to some favorable corner to catch the first rays of spring sunshine, we feel ourselves almost re-born, as it were, as if a new life had come into us with the sunbeams. Look at the little lizard you see frisking on the white stones of the wall; upon him decidedly the sun is darting actual life from its rays.
But this is a loose and unscientific way of speaking, for in fact it is not the individual that is re-born, but the character; which, even as the silkworm clothes itself with silk and the caddis-worm with mud and small shingle, creates for itself a new personality, congruous with its own nature.
He will be re-born still happier, still juster, still braver, and ever onward, from world to world, Julyan will be re-born, his soul being ever re-incarnated in a new body the same as the body that here puts on new clothes." "Oh, Gauls! Ye proud souls, to whom death does not exist! Come, come! Remove your eyes from this earth; rise to the sublimity of heaven.
In other words, the individual instinct is the thing of value in the world. It is the true soul that sees and creates the truth alive, out of which is to come a still greater truth, the re-born social soul. Anarchism is the great liberator of man from the phantoms that have held him captive; it is the arbiter and pacifier of the two forces for individual and social harmony.
What is that which is re-born after its birth? What is the remedy against cold? And what is the largest field? Yudhishthira answered, 'The sun sojourneth alone; the moon takes birth anew: fire is the remedy against cold: and the Earth is the largest field. The Yaksha asked, 'What is the highest refuge of virtue? What of fame? What of heaven?
"Perhaps you were in a position of great power the last time, and were lavish and kind to people in a way or you would not be so rich now but you caused suffering and relied upon yourself, not on anything divine you must have caused much suffering, perhaps mentally even, and so you had to be re-born and be wounded to teach you the lesson of it all; that is called your Karma.
And the third feature we notice about these men and women is, that this new power by which they lived was, as Ruysbroeck calls it, "a spreading light." It poured out of them, invading and illuminating other men: so that, through them, whole groups or societies were re-born, if only for a time, on to fresh levels of reality, goodness and power.
She meant what she had said, or what some re-born Gloria had said for her; he might kill her, but she would not follow him. And then Mark King, as he was about to strike, stayed his hand at the last moment and hurled the rope far from him, and whirled about and left her. Someway he came to the base of the cliffs. He was outside; he was in the open.
