From the beginning to the end... from the start of Cosmos to the dissolution of Cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... everything is detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita... the journey of evolution from ape to man... evidence supporting evolution... the entire process of evolution itself! Bhagavad Gita is ABCD of evolution... the most confirmed evidence of evolution till date! And what does Bhagavad Gita say about theory of evolution! As per Bhagavad Gita all the evolutionary stages... the life of an insect, plant or an animal are mere different sojourns in the entire life cycle of... the life journey of a soul atman... the spirit within! To cleanse itself of the dross impurities within every soul atman manifests a total of 8.4 million bodies. In the evolutionary process the first manifestation by our soul atman is that of an amoeba (single cell formation)! It further evolves into multi-cell formation... then insect life... plant life... animal life and finally the form of human beings! It is not that apes are our forefathers. Every single insect... every single plant... every single animal is our forefather! Ever since start of cosmic journey with a big bang when God Almighty explodes self... all souls atmans scattered all over Cosmos at unimaginable speeds. In the melee... the pure souls' atmans gathered impurities similar as rolling ball gathers moss! And started the cosmic life cycle of every soul atman... a single life journey of 8.4 million manifestations... 96.4 million earthly years!
The doctrine of karma... the law of karma is the governing factor of the Cosmos. It is through the complex process of karma life evolves in the cosmic system. Whatever the residual balance of life at the time of death of the body becomes the opening balance of the next manifestation... the new life form undertaken by the soul atman! The doctrine of karma is the accountant general of the cosmic system. Whatever the closing balance of life for one manifestation... becomes the opening balance for new manifestation... next life form manifested by it! As per law of karma nothing in cosmic system is unordered as stipulated by famous physicist Stephen Hawking in his famous book, "a brief history of time"!
The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita is not merely a concept... something imposed on humanity by Hinduism! The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna has universal appeal. It can be understood by anyone... one who truly desires traveling the spiritual path! The theory of evolution is a fact of life as much as existence of life on Mother Earth. Similar as mankind has been disputing the birth of Cosmos through big bang... scientists world over continue putting more and more irrational theories in support of their research and documentation. The theory of evolution and the theory of big bang exist from the beginning of time... ever since Cosmos came into being! Why fret and fume over matters beyond our capture.
In the domain of God... on the path of spirituality everything is determined by belief and absolute faith in God Almighty. On the contrary science demands proof... the prime reason why scientists world over fail to understand the gist of Bhagavad Gita. Albert Einstein the famous physicist regretted that he failed to start study of Bhagavad Gita in the early stages of his life! By the time he started reading Bhagavad Gita... Albert Einstein was too old to fathom the depth of wisdom contained therein. By the time he ventured into Bhagavad Gita it was time to bid goodbye! Normal human beings use their brain 1%... Albert Einstein used his brain 4%... all knower of Bhagavad Gita... the enlightened ones use their brain hundred percent! The concepts contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism are crystal clear. Everything stated in sacred Bhagavad Gita is in absolute terms. There is absolutely no chance of any errs! If we seriously desire unveiling the true precepts of evolution... all evidence concerning evolution... we need not look beyond Bhagavad Gita.
Similar as a student of class one promotes to class two... then class three... then class six and so on... on the evolutionary scale life moves from the stage of insect, to plant... then animal... the form of ape and finally the form of human beings! At no stage of life we can discard our forefathers... the light bearers of the process of evolution! A student of class 12 is never ashamed of student of class one! On seeing lower forms of life... we never can feel bad about it! Every single human being... our soul atman the spirit within before reaching human form has already crossed 7.3 million stages of evolution... 7.3 million life forms in insect life, plant life and animal life! In the human form alone we have 1.1 million manifestations.
For
an enlightened one... the journey of evolution finally comes to an end! Having
gained enlightenment... the liberated soul atman finally enters the abode of God...
the kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism). The liberation of the soul
atman from the cycle of birth and death finally announces one having climbed the
evolutionary path in totality. By:
