besides the gross physical body which perishes in a human lifetime, there are souls which are said to be created from Spirit (or in the image of & by the Supreme Being) yet per some Hindu schools those souls are said to be ultimately re-absorbed back into Spirit which means those souls no longer exist either So in effect we come back to, "nothing gained and nothing lost", per some Hindu schools but not others. Btw. there is the near universal saying/teaching in Hinduism (as far as I know) about souls being eternal which in words itself is a contradiction since if that were so then how could there also be the teaching that they were created (thus not eternal) being that their/our creation would occur at some particular time during the cosmic cycle...?

...anyway that is all a secret to our minds which can never give or hold answers about same except in a purely speculative way.
