Talk:Rebirth or Resurrection
Hindus believe that to be valid, any spiritual philosophy must be personally verifiable, and it should not be opposed to logic or commonsense. Also, since souls are unchangeable themselves, any philosophy concerning them must not be dependent on ideas or objects that are restricted in space or time. In technical parlance, Hindu texts state that all spiritual truths must pass the text of direct perception that is free from any fault, from logical observations that derive from such perception, and also must conform to the Vedas-which are eternal records of spiritual truths. When we apply these Hindu criteria to test the validity of the Semitic notions of Life after Death, the result is a negative one. The preceding sections detailed why the theory of rebirth is valid from a Hindu as well as a modern perspective.
