The
doctrine of rebirth is a corollary to the Law of Karma. The differences of
disposition that are found between one individual and another must be due to
their respective past actions. Past action implies past birth. Further, all
your Karmas cannot certainly bear fruit in this life. Therefore, there must be
another birth for enjoying the remaining actions. Each soul has a series of
births and deaths. Births and deaths will continue till you attain Knowledge of
the Imperishable.
Good
Karmas lead to incarnation into higher spheres and bad Karmas into lower. By
virtue is obtained ascent to higher planes and by vice, descent to the lower.
From wisdom results beatitude, and bondage from the reverse. So long as
Karmas—whether good or bad—are not exhausted, men do not attain Moksha or the
final emancipation even in hundreds of Kalpas. Both good and bad Karmas bind tight
the Jiva int heir chains. One is a chain of gold and the other is that of iron.
Moksha cannot be attained by man, so long as Knowledge of the Eternal is not
attained.
