ABSTRACT

The true light of science has rippled over the space where darkness had reigned, and human life is seen to be no isolated phenomenon, but a part of one great cycle, wherein that which we call death is as natural as that which we call life. The answers of the various religions of the world are all of the nature of guesses, and are unsupported by proven fact. Hinduism says that all life is an emanation from the divine existence; the creative power is ever emitting, ever reabsorbing, individual lives. Death is re-arrangement; it is the disassociation of the compounds whose resultant was life; the breaking up of the complex organic products, and their gradual resolution into the simpler inorganic forms. The water may life, death, and immortality, be changed again and again, yet still there is the same stream.
