Every second someone dies and someone is born. This makes us wonder what happens to those who die, and who decides what one should be born as. Jainism explains that in a very simple and sound logical way based on the karma theory. Due to the karmas associated with their souls, living beings have been going through the cycle of births and deaths in various forms since times immemorial. Unless the soul gets rid of its karmas, it will never be free from the cycle of births and deaths in different forms.
Present science is inconclusive about the life after death or rebirth or reincarnation.
No God or super power decides your future. Your past and current deeds accumulate the karmas, which govern what we will be reborn as. Let us discuss about these destinies. As the human beings we have been endowed with the ability to think. We can make out right from the wrong.
