 The four main destinies are further divided into sub-categories and still smaller sub–sub categories.In all, Jain texts speak of a cycle of 8.4 million birth destinies in which souls find themselves again and again as they cycle within "samsara".In Jainism, God has no role to play in an individual's destiny; one's personal destiny is not seen as a consequence of any system of reward or punishment, but rather as a result of its own personal karma.
