</>Birth and death are the two permanent stations
Shuttles progeny of Parmatma in between them.
Man is mortal but his soul immortal, says Hinduism
The soul it says, is Parmatma's minutest division.
Modern science disciples may contradict the claim
The theory of rebirth they may say, is a sham
.Baseless and unscientific to it they may name,
Forgetting possible logic, how they can, to it blame.
Biological process in the birth they must consider,
New lifecycle starts due to mating of individuals
Every new born inherits parts of it's parents,
Rebirth it is partially of it's father and mother.
Poet: Ratnakar D Mandlik
Yes, we humans shuttle between life and death! Rebirth is a much discussed and disputed concept! However you have connected the modern scientific notions with traditional beliefs and say that each child is born with his/ her parent's genes! In that sense the father or mother is re- born! A very logical conclusion! Enjoyed the poem!
This is the first poem, from your collection, that I have read. I must admit that this is an outstanding piece of poetry. The poem deals with the subject of life and death from the point of view of philosophy as well as modern scientific thought. It has been such a delight. Thanks.
