What your soul will be born into depends on your
ACTIONS

=Karma) in this life… Good karma
, pays off with a happier life in the future. Bad karma binds the soul (
atman) to the cycle of rebirth, leading to misfortune in this life and poor conditions in the next. Paying off all your karma, by continuous good actions, can free you from rebirth. This is called Moksha.
Karma is like a law of the universe. There is no “judge” or God deciding what happens to you. You can’t avoid your karma.Explain what karma is.
