There cannot be an effect without a cause and where there is an effect there has to be a prior cause. Our present body is the effect of the causes of our past life. At birth one is born with both the gross body and the subtle body. But then the effects of this body produces new causes through attachment (raag) and abhorrence (dwesh) and these are the seeds for its next life. Upon death, the Soul (Atma) along with causal body and subtle body departs leaving behind the physical body. At that same moment the causal body finds another effective body.
