Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.10.6
"The merging of the living entity, along with his conditional living tendency, with the mystic lying down of the Mahā-Viṣṇu is called the winding up of the cosmic manifestation.

"Lord Brahmā said: My dear demigods, the human form of life is of such importance that we also desire to have such life, for in the human form one can attain perfect religious truth and knowledge.

Unless he is relieved of material activities, he has to accept this position because of his faulty work." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/2 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/3

"For the sake of the body, which is a source of constant trouble to him and which follows him because he is bound by ties of ignorance and fruitive activities, he performs various actions which cause him to be subjected to repeated birth and death." "If, therefore, the living entity again associates with the path of unrighteousness, influenced by sensually minded people engaged in the pursuit of sexual enjoyment and the gratification of the palate, he again goes to hell as before." "He becomes devoid of truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, gravity, spiritual intelligence, shyness, austerity, fame, forgiveness, control of the mind, control of the senses, fortune and all such opportunities." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/31/31 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/31/32 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/31/33

"Due to his particular type of body, the materialistic living entity wanders from one planet to another, following fruitive activities. In this way, he involves himself in fruitive activities and enjoys the result incessantly."

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.31.45-46
"When the eyes lose their power to see color or form due to morbid affliction of the optic nerve, the sense of sight becomes deadened.

In the same way, when the physical body, the place where perception of objects occurs, is rendered incapable of perceiving, that is known as death. When one begins to view the physical body as one’s very self, that is called birth." Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.31.45-46
