According to Osho, the fruits of past actions do not pass into the next birth; what continues are samskaras—the dry traces of what we did and endured. Like water reusing an old channel, these impressions form tendencies and the path of least resistance in a new life, shaping character and likely reactions unless one consciously clears a new pathway.
Your next life doesn’t carry rewards or punishments, but it keeps the grooves of habit that make you repeat things unless you make a new path.
