... yes, and a damn serious one (with irreversible consequences) each of us is given the opportunity of playng only once.
We dont become eternal, because by our very nature, we are already eternal, being spirit......but we are either eternal in this material world, (taking repeated birth) or eternal in the spiritual world.
Bhagavad gita says: Cht 2 vs 12
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these Kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be"
also Cht 2 vs 13
"As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death, A sober person is not bewildered by such a change"
