When karma ends, Dharma takes over. If at all you’re coming back, you’ll be coming only to fulfill Dharma – righteous duty. Otherwise, karma is making repeated births. Birth after birth after birth, karma brings us back. Karma is mainly unfulfilled desires. When that’s diluted, then it’s dharma (righteous duty), and for the sake of it, it can happen.
Like, when Krishna took his body, many elevated, dissolved masters took birth even as a cow, a calf, because an avatar was happening. They wanted to help the avatar. They took the bodies. That’s not karmic birth. That’s because they wanted to be with the avatar. Manifestations are based in Dharma. Karma is the driving force. Karma is time bound. But Dharma is eternal. Karma is voluntary, but Dharma is compulsory. This is the truth of Sanathan Dharma or perpetual ground rules of existence of the Universe.
