Here is a brief excerpt from "Karma and reincarnation." _______________________________________

How the mind creates the Karma

According to the science of yoga, all that exists in the universe, including the mind, originates from the energy of primordial nature, prakriti. Prakriti is eternal and all-pervasive and is the cause of the manifest world, never born, is the Mother of all the universe and everything exists in it. The energy of prakriti, for example, is more refined electricity, magnetism and gravity (according to the science of yoga these forces belong to the manifest world and have absolutely no energy, but subtle forms of matter). Prakriti has three intrinsic qualities: sattva, rajas and tamas.Quando prakriti as it is not obvious, these internal forces are in balance, and when they are out of balance, Mother Nature (prakriti), occurs.
In the event, each element is composed of sattva, rajas Tamasin varying degrees. Sattvaè strength characterized by light; lighting, movement upward, clarity and purity.
Rajas is the force of: movement, instability, agitation and pulsation. Tamas the power of darkness, heaviness, inertia, downward movement, confusion, laziness and lack of enthusiasm. Sattvae tamasappaiono opposites, while withholding the power of rajas and animation, in fact, thanks to rajas, the vibrations are characteristic of prakriti.
Instead of vibrations evident in the material world, the vibration in prakriti has neither a cause nor a means by which vibrate. As long as Sattva, Rajas Tamas are in equilibrium, the basic principle of vibration remains static equilibrium is disturbed when, following a primordial explosion of all the pairs of opposites, which makes the objective world emerges in all its diversity.
Mind, the cosmic and the human - is the first to emerge from immobility of prakriti, the material world, therefore, evolves from the mind. According to yogic doctrine of evolution, a result must contain all the qualities and characteristics of the case - and it is not possible to have qualities or characteristics that are not already in it. Since
prakriti is the mother of the mind, the mind is composed of three forces inherent in these qualities of Mother Nature prakriti.Se reach a state perfect balance, the mind will no longer exist as such, but will be immersed in prakriti. However, until there is a mind, these three forces can not be balanced. The nature of mind is therefore to be dominated by sattva rajas or tamas, while the other two forces remain subordinate.
The game of these three qualities makes the mind, constantly moving from one state to another, is therefore changeable, and it is for this reason that does not always work in a balanced way. The mind can be
alternately distracted, focused, disturbed or completely controlled.

The journey to heaven or hell

According to ancient texts, death is a systematic process in which the period before the exact time is crucial at this point because we are the messengers of Yamaraja, the god of death. However, anyone who has totally surrendered and gave up too all the wishes, thoughts, feelings, losses and gains to God, is visited by the messengers of the Divine, very different from those of the god of death.
With the exception of those fortunate beings, all who are about to die must obey the orders of the messengers of Yamaraja.
Like it or not, and if we leave the body - for fear, too much attachment or because of unfulfilled desires - oppose resistance, Nature alleerà with the messengers of death and make us out by force. Then, accompanied by envoys of these Yamaraja, we will come to a large river inhabited by millions of different creatures: crocodiles, fish, dolphins, sharks and even cows amphibious. To cross the river there are specific points where it's easy to ford, but we will be abandoned with no education: the messengers remain on shore and we will try to cross the river alone.
The river is deep and they're swimming, we will be forced to face the creatures that live there. During the trip, anything can happen - the water could be contaminated, we may be overwhelmed by the current or chased by a crocodile, the risk of drowning and being driven back to the surface by the attentions of a big fish, maybe a shark tear us a piece of meat, and we might see friends or relatives who sink or swim close to us. If we are lucky, the messengers will leave us in a place where cows are very intelligent who can swim: we grab the tails of these experts to ferry to carry us safely to the other side of river.

Reincarnation

As discussed above, those who dedicate themselves to acquire the knowledge of the purpose of life, puts his heart and mind in a discipline, sadhana, is blessed with a higher form of rebirth: reincarnation. Even those who die before completing the practical, is reincarnated in a suitable family to spiritual growth. If for some reason, these souls are reincarnated in a non-human species, however, maintain a higher IQ of their kind and, in some cases, even the memories of past lives. The following story of Srimad Bhagavatham explains the process of reincarnation and what conditions require.
There once was a great yogi named Bharata. Satisfied within, Bharata lived retired to a hermitage near a stream. One day, a doe that was about to give birth, came to drink from the river, but suddenly, sensing the presence of a tiger, he tried to jump the river to save themselves; Unfortunately, however, fell mortally injured. In the last throes before death
gave birth to a little fawn that Bharata, taken by a deep compassion and tenderness, he adopted.
The saint became attached to the lovely puppy and raised him with love as if he were a child, and the deer, living always in the company of Bharata, he soon lost his natural instincts and became totally dependent on the hermit. Unfortunately, after a few months Bharata became very ill and knowing how to voluntarily leave the body - which avoids the journey of the after-life - he was so worried about what would happen to his beloved fawn, which at the time of his death mind is absorbed only in thoughts of how he would survive in his absence the animal. His attachment had made him so confused and weak, that he forgot even to leave the body consciously and died like any other person ... and reincarnated in a young stag.
However, since he could remember his previous life, Bharata did not end up living a life like every other instinctive deer: eat right to support the body and was not afraid of predators. He felt no regret has been reborn as a deer, and since he spent his time in contemplation, he soon realized his error: the difference between the feeling of compassion and sentimentality, in which he had fallen. When
realized that his life as a deer was now finally decided to voluntarily leave the body. Even if he remembered the technique he had learned when he was a yogi, as the deer could not use it, and then - instead of following the path known as muni-anced put into practice the technique of total fasting until he left the body.
Soon after, the sage is reincarnated as a human being and this time had all the tools and resources needed to reach the most coveted goal of human life: a healthy body and mind to practice of yogic techniques and a suitable environment to implementation.
The circumstances made him free from all worldly commitment when he was still very young and immediately after giving the world, received the grace to become a sage. For the substance of his sadhana, transcended the consciousness of the body and after getting the perfect control of every mental faculty, went well beyond the stages of prevailing law of karma, destiny, death and birth.
In this story we can see perfectly how the dynamics of reincarnation. Bharata, being a sage, he was free from almost all of its karma, but shortly before his death had made
action that had made him forget everything he knew. He had saved the deer in an altruistic impulse, but by identifying with this action, he had damaged and contaminated
value. Moreover, its involvement Emotional led him to worry too much, forgetting that it was God as it was to save the little deer - using himself as an instrument - even
after death, God would provide: the presence of an omnipresent God, no creature is alone and defenseless.
