Christian rebirth by the Holy Spirit is far more reserved. That's because they are closer to the truth in the way they carry themselves. It isn't there for the taking. Christians realize that.
Hindu rebirth is the same of course, but it's been torn and mutilated into some free for all. So sad that such a beautiful religion is being defamed and destroyed in this way. Twisted into a trend, as I said. In fact, the process, and parts of it, have made it's way into evil, and places you would not imagine. Such is the power of desire in the human ego. If you ask, the ego will provide. Trouble is, how do you know it's real....
Yoga, et al...
If you stick at it, and depending on your own disposition. You will almost certainly find what is called, 'enlightenment', or 'higher consciousness'. Seems most do. What that means is up to you. It was you that instigated it all, so you get what you wanted, right? Within the constraints of the ego of course, since you will not be above it, but totally bound by it.
You will not be purified in the Divine sense. Your 'blockages' will not be removed. Rather more authority than that of mortal man is required to correct them.
If you believe it is God's will, then don't you think it's odd that practically anybody is laying claim to being Divine after a bit of Yoga and meditation?
No. It is 'opened' to you when the time is right. Don't bother looking for it... You will only find the 'common, or garden' type alternative that falls far short.
Then again, maybe you will be satisfied with that. Seems in some cases, anything as long as it can be claimed, and added to the repertoire, perhaps?

Empty gestures don't work.If you say some prayers it can help... Do a few 'good turns
