Unfortunately, you generally cannot know definitively whether it is your last birth or if you will be reborn while you're alive. The decision of whether or not you are reborn is considered to occur after death, in the spirit world.
Here's a breakdown of what's commonly believed:
-
The Afterlife Decides: The determination of rebirth typically isn't made during your lifetime but rather after death, as your soul transitions to the spirit world. It's a process connected to your spiritual evolution.
-
Advanced Souls & Final Lives: The concept of a "last life" often applies to highly spiritually evolved individuals. These are frequently described as:
- Monks and Nuns
- Ascetics
- Yogis
- Healers
- Other individuals dedicated to spiritual growth and service.
-
Focus on the Present: Since knowing about future rebirths is largely inaccessible, the emphasis is typically placed on living a meaningful and ethical life in the present. This involves:
- Cultivating compassion
- Practicing mindfulness
- Reducing negativity
- Striving for spiritual understanding
-
Uncertainty and Faith: Ultimately, the concept of rebirth involves faith and trust in a larger spiritual process. While the specifics remain unknown, the focus is on living in accordance with spiritual principles.
While you can strive to live a life that aligns with spiritual growth, knowing definitively about future rebirths is considered to be beyond our ability while living. Focus on cultivating a positive and meaningful present.
