According to Gita, when you die the soul changes bodies just like a human changes clothes. Soul can neither be created or destroyed. The ancient Sanskrit text from Gita (2.22) confirms this fact वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि।तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णान्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही|-------------------------------------
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, similarly, the "soul" accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.This changing of bodies is called reincarnation. There are many species of living beings on this planets, this means there are different varieties of clothes for soul.As veda confirms that there are about 8.4 million living species in this material universe which are called the clothes for our spiritual soul and our eternal soul is roaming around these different types bodies thinking that he will live there forever.
