Swarga - Gati

Heavenly Beings: A heavenly being has superior physical capabilities, numerous supernatural powers, and access to all the luxuries. But the heavenly life is transient and when it comes to an end, heavenly beings feel very unhappy. They can not adopt restraints or renounce their lives to become monks or nuns. Therefore, there is no salvation in the heavenly life, and such beings will have to be reborn as the human beings in order to attain liberation. It may be said that the soul is born as a heavenly being, due to the accumulation of more good karmas (punya). But at the same it should be remembered that the soul uses up their good karmas there.

 

Narak - Gati

Hellish Beings: Living beings of the hell continuously suffer. Most of the time, these beings fight among themselves, and cause more suffering to each other. Such a life is, therefore, absolutely unsuitable for the spiritual pursuit.

This is why it is so important to follow the path of Jainism now. Only as a human being (Manushya Bhav) can we attain moksha and save ourselves from the suffering that might befall us.
