The ~physics~ behind this is described as the following...
We are all beyond birth and death - this is verified by kṛṣṇa-ji . He informs us in chapter 2, 12th śloka of the bhāgavad gītā:
there never was a time when I was not, nor you, nor these rulers
of men. Nor will there ever be a time when all of us shall cease to be.
So, what of the physical body? It subsides/retires once prārabdha karma-s are exhausted ( or the residue of actions , some call leśāvidya¹)
iti śivaṁ
words
- leśāvidya
- leśa + avidya gives leśāvidya
- leśa = a small part or portion , particle , atom , little bit or slight trace
- avidya = ignornace
Hence we remain in this frame due to the remains ( a small portion) of ignorance. Some small atomic part. Perhaps the awareness is perfect and stainless completely residing in the SELF/brahman, yet there are other parts perhaps that still are infused with ignorance within the physical frame.
