If you believe in reincarnation?

Question: If you believe in reincarnation!?

how do you know if you are progressing toward enlightenment!? i'm trying but sometimes i feel like im not making any progress!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

do not try!. if you try you fail!. there is no goal of enlightenment just a path dont think just walk!. you should read Shunryu Suzuki's book "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think if you try at something like that then you are probably not heading in the right direction!. I think it is more about feeling or knowing rather than working towards or trying!.

I think if you have too many things that bind you to this world then you will struggle moving on up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't have the luxury of knowing if you are progressing!. You do what you are supposed to be doing and naturally assume that you are progressing due to your proper actions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can't really know!. Your not meant to!. And that's what makes living so many different lives so much funWww@QuestionHome@Com
