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.

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.
