Ji haan. Jain dharm mein yeh samajha jaata hai ki agla janm kis period ya kis roop mein hoga, woh hamare karmon (punya-papa) ke phal se decide hota hai.

Kuch mukhya baatein:

• Atma ke upar jo karm particle lage hote hain (dravya/pudgal karma), wahi agle janm ka karan bante hain. Jo bhi kiya—haan bhav, vaani, man—unka milap karm ko jodta hai.
• Is janam ke samay humare karmon ki jang se agla janm tay hota hai. Isliye kabhi-kabhi hum turant agle janm ki baat nahi samajh pate; par man, vaani, karm ki bhav-na ke adhar par phal milta hai.
• Bhav (deha-pravesh) ke anusar alag-alag roop mil sakte hain: manusya (manav), deva, asur, pishaach adi. Inmein se har roop karm ki santulan par nirbhar karta hai.
• Karm ki sanchay ya nirjara (shuddhi) ke zariye apne bhav ko badla ja sakta hai. Shuddha aacharan, ahimsa, satya, brahmacharya, aparigraha jaise yatharth lok dharma ke anusaran se agle janmon ke sanket kam ya phal ko badalne ki kshamata hoti hai.
• Digambar aur Shvetambar traditions mein karm ki vyakhya aur uske vibhinna pehlu thode bhinn ho sakte hain, lekin mool siddhant yahi hai ki karm hi agle janm ka marg nirdharit karta hai.

Short form: Aaj jo hum karte hain (man, vaani, karm), wahi aane wale samay ki bhavishy ki atma ki yatra ko prabhavit karta hai. Aacharan ko dhyan se aur sahi dharm ke anusar nibhane se future births ke roop aur samay par asar padta hai.
