i understand what's going on... (warning : too deep !)

Virtual Reality Game is a good analogy, it is however still an analogy, not correct in 100% accuracy but good enough to give out as a reference.

Try asking any gamer on why they're playing a game, the answers I got so far can be summed up to "experiencing something".
The actual words might varies from "it's fun", "it's challenging", "it pumped my adrenaline", "it allows me to experience something I cannot do in real life", "I learn something new", "it helps to kill my boredom".

Player logged in again and again to a game to experience something, if they still have an 'interest' to the game.
This is a good analogy of 'karma', it's the 'karma' that keep the player logging in again and again, reincarnating into the game with myriad of game avatars, trying to experience something new on each session.

And try to ask any gamer on why they stopped playing a game that they used to play, the answer varies around: "boring, nothing new", "no more challenges", "too difficult", "i've won the game", "no longer interesting", "other more interesting game to play"..
This is a good analogy of player who has 'used' or 'spent' their karma, thus not too interested to play the same game anymore and just wanted to exit the game.

Adding more point of view, try asking the 'game creator / developer' on what they're trying to do with their game.
The answers again varied but the summary is "To keep the players engaged in the game".

The Infinite Creator / Source is both the gamer who are playing the game and also the game creator / developer.
And this universe is just one game out of quadrillion (actually unlimited) of other titles of game to play, each with their own unique rules and environment.

And YOU, although now you know your own self as merely a player inside a game, actually also have the capability to create your own game.
