What is the connection of karma to our future lives, future stations? so the body is like a vehicle and now if you are going on a cross country journey and then you have a particular vehicle for say 12 hours after that you have to change the vehicle now when you change the vehicle, which vehicle will you take? it will depend on two things, one is our preference, second is our budget similarly the body that we get in our next life is determined first by our preference what our desires are, what our level of consciousness is, what is it that we wish to do and then secondly it is based on our karmic budget so the kind of karma we do in our life, that and the kind of desires that we cultivate both of them determine our next body and another example could be that the body is like a house for the soul, so the body is like a house but it is like a rented house, we are tenants in this house we are not the owners and people who are living in a rented house, one of their fondest aspirations is to have their own house, because a rented house we may have to go anytime out of it our own house, it’s our own house we can stay so like that we have, we as souls have been going through many lifetimes and we have been on the journey of spiritual evolution so every house that we get is a temporary house but in this house, in the present house that we have we can get a permanent house as long as we love the temporary we have to get a temporary instrument for pursuing that love if we love worldly things then we will get a material body to pursue our love for those worldly things but if we learn to love the eternal if we devote ourselves to God then that devotion can transport us to the eternal world when we learn to love God more than we love the world then God takes us out of this material world and takes us to the eternal world, where we get an eternal body where we live eternally so reincarnation is a process you go one life, next life, next life but reincarnation culminates in liberation, where you get out of the cycle, so in our present body, if we learn to love the eternal, if we learn to love God more than we love the world then we get out of the cycle and attain eternal life does that answer your question?
