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 take out the soul locked up in its ethereal body, the dead material body, and who installs it in the womb of its future mother, celestial, human or animal, in the galaxy where it was, or in 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 semen of one father after another and placed in the womb of a specific mother. By the laws of material nature, the soul is compelled to integrate with the seed of a father and to be introduced into the womb of a mother. He cannot in any case directly choose his father. His fate is determined by his activities performed in his past lives. The law of karma therefore obliges him to accept various relatives, celestial, human or animal.
As the soul passes through various bodies, whether it is that of a celestial being, a being human, animal or plant, it must have a father and a mother. This presents no major difficulty. On the other hand, it will be much more difficult for him to have a spiritual father, an authentic spiritual master.
The duty of every human being is therefore to seek such a spiritual master, because under his direction he will be able to free himself from the cycle of reincarnation, in order to reintegrate his original home in the spiritual world. Only souls fully aware of God and of their spiritual selves can reach the spiritual world, beyond the cycle of reincarnations.
This is how transmigration takes place. During the transfer from one body to another, the soul is carried away by the servants of Yamaraja, the master of death and judge of sinners, guilty beings, appointed to this post by God, who first make it go through a certain type of hellish life, so as to accustom her to the difficult condition she will experience in her next life, and where she will have to live in her next body, because of her sinful acts.
For those and those who have worked for God, who have surrendered themselves to the Lord and delighted in serving him with love and devotion, Krishna, God, the Supreme Person will send his intimate servants, who will come down from his kingdom to take them and take them with them, so that they may henceforth live
