Life: Cycle of Birth and Death

Long ago, we all lived on a perfect planet under God's direct supervision. There was no chaos, pain, sorrow, birth, or death. However, some of us began to feel that we lacked control over our lives, and this feeling spread. To address this, Lord Vishnu, the controller, consulted with Lord Brahma, the creator, and Lord Shiva, the destroyer, to create a new planet where individuals could have control over their circumstances. Earth was created with the same basic laws of nature as the planet of God, and those who wanted a free will were transferred there. At first, people were able to control their own lives, but some began to feel that they had no influence over others or the wider world. To address this, the Lords created a system where individuals could influence others through their deeds, but there would be a reaction for every action to maintain balance. The deeds of each individual were tracked through an automated system, and the results were given accordingly. Due to the impact of individual deeds on the environment, bodies began to decay, so the Lords created a system where a new body was assigned after a certain number of years. However, the memory of the previous life was erased with the new body, and this cycle of birth and death continued until there was balance in the account of deeds. Those who realize this fact understand that surrendering to God is the only way to have true control over their lives and reach Nirvana. In day-to-day life, we may not have control over what happens to us, but we can always control how we respond to what happens.
