Karma Yoni (कर्म योनि)
The human form is the only karma yoni—a life form in which the Jeev can perform new actions that produce future results.
Karma Yoni (कर्म योनि | karma yoni) is a Yoni in which the Jeev is entitled to perform fruit-bearing actions.
Of the 8.4 million material life forms, only the human form is a karma yoni. In the human form, the Jeev has freedom of will and can pursue bhukti (material enjoyment), mukti (liberation), or bhakti (devotion).
Please Note: Even in Karma Yoni, the Jeev also undergoes the allotted fruits of previous karma. These are the fruits of actions that the Jeev itself performed in its previous human lives and that God has allocated to be borne in the present life. They are predetermined and must be endured.
