So what is the reasoning for there being a cycle of reincarnation and karma? I've only read the bhagdavad gita
I've read on what on karma and samsara are, but I still don't get why they're connected.
As in why does karma cause us to reincarnate and from what arguments does the idea of samsara come from?
I've talked with a number self-described buddhists and hindus, and none of them were able to explain it other than "it just is like that"
