INTRODUCTION
A. Conceptual Definition Reincarnation has attracted interest among humans and influenced how they view life. Reincarnation or metempsychosis is a doctrine of Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism it is the belief that there is life before and after this one. It has also become the hope and comfort of those who seek liberation for they can live multiple lives. But on the other hand, reincarnation rejects the teaching of a holy God, with the possibility of being condemned eternally in hell. It states that the present life is the karmic outcome of the previous one and will be the root for the future life. Reincarnation also explains the differences among people, why some are rich while some struggle to survive in the world. In reincarnation it is also believed that a soul comes to the world from the lowest condition and makes its ways up to the highest point which is liberation. The soul is not dependent from the body. It is likely that a soul will enter a human body but when it does, it achieves self-consciousness, free-will and responsibility and the soul will only want sensual pleasures. But through life after life, if it gets repeated, the soul tends to turn to social pleasures for satisfaction. And when the second stage appears to be a game, the soul turns t deeper satisfaction.
