1975 Correspondence

Any sane man can understand the principle of re-incarnation. There is no need of giving some long so-called scientific explanation.

Letter to Mr. R. Van den Tak -- Honolulu 10 June, 1975: Your endeavor to prove scientifically the existence of re-incarnation is not very practical. It is like bringing a cannon to kill a mosquito. It is not required to bring a cannon to kill a mosquito, similarly any sane man can understand the principle of re-incarnation. There is no need of giving some long so-called scientific explanation. Explanation is already given in the Bhagavad-gita, as it is. Krishna, the Supreme Authority has already explained, and you should accept and understand His explanation and then try to make others understand.
