Concept of Rebirth
Rebirth takes place in case of a sinner. He or she is born to pay for whatever has not yet been accounted.
A person who steals food would starve in his next life. Lying is a sin and a liar becomes dumb in his new birth. One who steals oil is born as a cockroach. One who has stolen green vegetables would be born as a peacock. If one steals scented substances, the stealer would be born as a mole. If food grains have been stolen one would be born as a rat. One who is a stealer of fruits would be born as monkey. One who is a stealer of animal would take birth as a goat. A milk thief would be born as a crow and a meat thief as a vulture. A moocher of salt, in his next life would get torn clothes s to wear.
