The third desire is the aspiration for a virtuous life in the other world (life after death. There is some scepticism regarding this desire). What happens after death? Does rebirth occur? Why are there doubts regarding reincarnation? Lord Atreya says that there are people who believe in perceptible things and do not believe in imperceptible things. ''Acharyas'' (teachers) who have faith in the ''shastras'' believe in the theory of reincarnation even when they have not perceived or experienced it. But there is skepticism because of differences in opinion. Among the “believing” ''acharyas'', some  attribute the role of ‘parents or ancestors’, some on ''swabhava''(personality or nature of the individual), some on the role of the ''paranirman'' (impersonal soul), while some on ''yadruchha'' ( free will or external powers responsible for sudden occurrences of events in the universe) in the process of reincarnation. Because of so many opinions and schools of thought, there is skepticism with regards to the theory of reincarnation, whether it exists or not. [6]
