When the body has become unserviceable due to age or disease, or
it suffers a fatal injury, the soul leaves the body. At the moment of
death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and
vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. Like a bird, it leaves
the cage made of skin and bones, and taking its “sanskaras”, it enters
into another, a new body, in the womb of the new mother. From the
very birth, the “sanskaras” of a soul are apparent (visible); whether
the "new-born" baby is happy, unbothered, sad, shy, mischievous,
quiet, violent or agitated.
Death occurs at the precise moment when the account of giving and
taking with other souls through a particular body is finished. The new
birth is determined by the soul's account of “karmas” with another set
of souls. One may be born into a cultured, wealthy family, another as
a beggar, one may be born deaf, dumb, blind or crippled, another
with a strong supple body. The type of body and the conditions of
birth are determined by the thoughts and actions performed in the
previous births.
