Knowing rebirth
Uppajjatijānanapañha (Mil 3.5 9)
The king said: ‘Does he, Nāgasena, who is about to be reborn know that he will be born?’
‘Yes, he knows it, O king.’
‘Give me an illustration.’
‘Suppose a farmer, O king, a householder, were to put seed in the ground, and it were to rain well, would he know that a crop would be produced.’
‘Yes, he would know that.’
‘Just so, great king, does he who is about to be reborn know that he will be born.’
‘Very good, Nāgasena!’
