[Jyotir]

Although 108 is occultly a significant #, the cycle of human birth is variable depending on the individual soul, and importantly how the being responds in free-will to the opportunities available in the evolutionary scheme we find ourselves within. Therefore, the number of incarnations will be different for each different individual. There may be a general average, but as an utter and virtually unfathomable abstraction, what practical meaning or value can that have for anyone on the spiritual path, especially given the variable uncertainty for each case?
