In Jainism, beings are reborn due to karma. For ordinary people, memories of past lives are not expected and are generally veiled by karma.

There are exceptions in Jain texts:

• The great enlightened beings (like the Tirthankaras) have kevala-jnana (omniscience) and remember all their past lifetimes.
• Some highly advanced yogis or liberated souls may remember past lives, but this is not something ordinary practitioners experience.

So, for most people, past-life memories are not a part of everyday spiritual practice. The path in Jainism emphasizes purifying karma and guiding the soul toward liberation rather than focusing on recalling past existences.
