The initiate will also want to return then to continue where he or she left off in order to be of further service. They repeatedly and quickly take incarnation to work through the last few steps of the path of initiation. The aim is to work off karma rapidly and so free and equip themselves for service. The soul impresses its vehicle with this desire during incarnation and so obviates any desire of the disciple for the bliss of pralaya in devachan. Another reason for rapid cycles of incarnation may be the necessity of rounding out the disciple's equipment by concentrating one- pointedly for several lives on acquiring some quality otherwise lacking, or to contribute some special quality, perfectly developed in him, to the work of a particular group or nation.
Every soul incarnates and re-incarnates under the Law of Rebirth.
Groups of souls come in together in order to work out karma created in the past. Hence this law provides the opportunity to repay ancient debts, to recognize and work with old friends, to accept ancient responsibilities and obligations, and to bring to the surface for re-use talents and qualities acquired long ago. What beauty and order there is, therefore, in this law which governs our appearance on this plane. To summarize, we can say that reincarnation depends on the particular destiny of the individual. When the individual has progressed somewhat further, his destiny becomes a group destiny.
