As per Vedic sciences, Hindu philosophy
believes in rebirth unless your Sanchit and Prarabdha Karmas are totally
exhausted.
It also believes in liberation in which once
your past karma’s debt is over, you do not take a rebirth.
On the other hand, Garuda Purana says that you
can take a birth in animal species which means you can be born like a donkey or
a dog. Vedic science on the other hand says that once you get a human body, you
will either be liberated or get another human body only.
The message of Garuda Purana can be read and
interpreted in a different perspective. In mythology humans are linked to
animal tendencies. For example, bull is linked to sexual and non-sexual
desires, peacock to vanity etc. Probably, people who wrote Garuda Purana meant
that if you do not live according to the Shastras, you will end up in getting
another human body but with animal tendencies and behavior.
