Answer 1

The excerpt from The Upanishads describes the process of reincarnation and the goal of liberation through moksha.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from The Upanishads describes the process of reincarnation. It explains how the self, after discarding the current body and dispelling ignorance, approaches another body just as a caterpillar moves from one blade of grass to another. Reincarnation is a cycle of death and rebirth in Hinduism, where the soul takes on different bodies in each life. Through good or bad actions (karma), a person can be reborn into a higher or lower form of life. The goal is to attain moksha, liberation from the cycle of reincarnation.
