They have also the theory of reincarnation which says that after the

dissolution of this body, the Jiva will have another, and after that

has been dissolved, it will again have another, and so on, either

here or in some other worlds; but this world is given the preference,

as it is considered the best of all worlds for our purpose. Other

worlds are conceived of as worlds where there is very little misery,

but for that very reason, they argue, there is less chance of

thinking of higher things there. As this world contains some

happiness and a good deal of misery, the Jiva some time or other gets

awakened, as it were, and thinks of freeing itself.
