The soul is immortal in nature but is compelled to take birth and die because of bondage of karmic atoms, which acts on soul, accumulates the material which makes it to take birth and spend a span of time on earth and leaves the body when the span is over. In order to lead a span of life it has to accumulate particles, through paryepti, used them through pre'a and leading formation of genes which when are transcribed and translated determines the kind of life, and all his activities. These activities again lead bondage of new life and the cycle goes on. But effort and environment can bring changes. Thus this cycle plays a vital role.
