Hindus believe that a person's true self is his soul, which is eternal and
transmigrates to another body when its prior one is worn out.
Antony: "It is shaped, sir, like itself; and it is as broad as it has breadth: it is just so high as it is, and moves with its own organs: it lives by that which nourisheth it; and the elements once out of it, it
transmigrates.
the idea of the pre-existence of human soul which
transmigrates across individual lives, though it is also fundamentally different from that in ways I shall indicate.

transmigrates, and, far from losing its principle of life by the change of its appearance, it is renovated in its new organs with a fresh vigor of a juvenile activity.
It is shaped, sir, like itself; and it is as broad as it hath breadth; it is just so high as it is, and moves with its own organs; it lives by that which nourisheth it; and, the elements once out of it, it
transmigrates.
