After death: rebirth or wandering
After death: rebirth or wandering
After death the soul travels in the universe toward rebirth, but if some karma blocks it, it wanders as a homeless preta (a restless departed spirit). The lesson is that this life is given to attain moksha (liberation) so we need not return again.
Taking birth again and again, dying again and again — birth is given so that we may attain moksha while still alive, so that we do not have to return and take birth.
