When
the Soul separates from the body, it carries with it the causal body;
merit (punya) and de-merit (paap) karma too go with it. On the strength of
punya, one acquires a beautiful symmetrical body and happiness. Because of
paap one will acquire an assymetrical, deformed body.
When the Soul leaves the body, the subtle body and the causal body
remain together and when the scientific circumstantial evidences of atoms
of the causal and the subtle body come together, the gross physical body
will come into formation. At death, when the Soul leaves the body, in less
than a fraction of time, it arrives at the destination predetermined by
vyavasthit, and upon the union of the father’s sperm and the mother’s
ovum, it attains a body. The Soul at that time is completely compressed.
It does not leave the old body until the new body is ready for it. Because
of its property of elasticity, it stretches its one end to the new
effective body while anchoring the other to the old body. It only discards
the old body when it is secured in the new effective body.
