Significance of Cycle of rebirth

The Cycle of rebirth encompasses the continuous process of birth, life, death, and rebirth that continues until individuals achieve liberation or enlightenment. Various philosophical and religious traditions, including Purana, Kavya, Vedanta, Shaivism, Mahayana, and Theravada, emphasize that this cycle is influenced by one's actions, desires, and spiritual progress. In Hindu and Buddhist teachings, this cycle represents the journey of the soul and the accumulation of karma, underscoring the importance of spiritual practice to ultimately escape samsara and attain a higher state of consciousness.1
