the material energy which acts under the authority of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

When the time comes, our next body is immediately determined, and the individual soul as well as the Supreme Soul, the Holy Spirit, are transported in this new “machine”, this new body

When the soul leaves the body at the time of death, it is transported by the ethereal body towards another material body.

The Lord said to this effect: At the moment of death, the soul takes on a new body, as naturally as it passed, in the previous one, from childhood to death. youth, then to old age. This change does not disturb those who are aware of their spiritual nature.

The ethereal body also acts as a vehicle for the individual soul when the latter floats above the body of dense matter in circumstances where the being is close to the dead. Either way, the soul must either return to the body it has just left or enter a new material body. This process of transmigration continues until the soul is released from material existence. It is therefore thanks to the ethereal body that the living being, the embodied soul, takes on a material body and abandons it.

At the moment of death, the mind and intelligence create the ethereal form of the next body which will have to put on the embodied being. The incarnate being, through the mind which conceals all his desires, begins to prepare his new body even before leaving the one in which he still lives.

When the ethereal body floats above the body of dense matter during its extra-bodily experiences, the material body is like an automobile with its engine running. The driver has been away for a while, but if he doesn't come back, the car eventually breaks down. Likewise, if the soul does not return to its coma or clinical death body, the person dies.

Since the soul is the fundamental principle and the very essence of life, it is able to observe the corpse she has just left. She can see, hear and smell, just as if she possessed all the faculties of the physical body. The soul does not require a body to exist, but without the presence of the soul, the body of dense matter is nothing more than a mass of material bodily elements, inert, a mere corpse.

These are the agents of the Lord who bring out the soul locked up in its ethereal body, from the dead material body, and who installs it in the womb of its future mother, celestial, human or animal, in the galaxy it was in, or another, in accordance with the immutable laws of karma and material nature. After death, the disembodied soul, freed from its material body, is able to travel at the speed of thought. There is only a brief moment between two incarnations.

The incarnate being, because of his karma, wanders through the entire galaxy. It is carried in the seed of one father after another and placed in the womb of a specific
