Evolution of Man -
Human evolution timeline

The evolution of man was destined by God Almighty as the ultimate crux of life! It is only when human beings evolved to its extreme, the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the moment human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... life came to an end for our soul atman... the spirit within! The evolution of human life, the evolution of man belongs to our soul atman... the spirit within!

Our soul atman... the spirit within is the absolute master and controller of the human body. To cleanse itself of the dross impurities within... every soul atman on its cosmic journey manifests a series of bodies... a chain of human forms... each evolving better than the other based on the residual balance of karma of the present manifestation.

The evolution of life... the evolution of man totally depends upon the karma enacted by one! Having born into a rich family... our soul atman can manifest the form of a laborer in the next manifestation if the residual balance of karma of present life so demands! In the domain of God there are no free lunches... nor is there a possibility of chance happening!

The human evolution is entirely dependent upon the doctrine of karma... the karma enacted by individual human beings. Indulging in vices all the time in present life... we cannot expect a better manifestation in the next life! As we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more says the law of karma! We cannot expect mangoes to grow on a guava tree!

The timeline of human evolution is clearly detailed in the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. The pictures of human evolution are outlined in Bhagavad Gita but the essence of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally. One needs reading in between the lines. For knowing the absolute truths of life... for understanding the chronology of evolution of man... indulgence in Gita is a must!

The evolution of man is not a chance occurrence. Every single human being; before our soul atman manifesting the first human form has already manifested 7.3 million life forms in insect life, plant life and animal life! The human evolution timeline detailed in Bhagavad Gita is without a parallel! Bhagavad Gita contains absolute truths of life... from A-Z!

If we prepare evolution of man chart based on Bhagavad Gita we shall find that the first manifestation by our soul atman was the form of an amoeba (single cell formation). This form further evolved into multi-cell formation... then insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of human beings! The human stage is the highest manifest form in the cosmic life cycle!

God Almighty ordained the stage of human evolution for the soul atman to liberate itself finally from the cycle of birth and death forever. The moment human beings reached the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... it announced completion of journey undertaken by our soul atman... the spirit within!

Human form... the human evolution is the most pleasant stage in the life cycle of every soul atman! It is only in human form every soul atman finally regains its original pure pristine primordial form... never otherwise! The liberation of the soul atman is never possible in insect, plant or animal form!

The chart of human evolution detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism stipulates a total journey of 1.1 million manifestations in the human form to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Based on the karma performed in present life... life moves ahead in the cosmic life cycle!

In the process of evolution... in the theory of human evolution... the doctrine of karma... the law of karma is governing! Everything rotates in the cosmic life cycle based on the karma performed. If we desire evolving into a much higher species on the evolutionary scale (within the human form itself) then we have to enact our karma in present life accordingly!

If the residual balance of karma of present life demands our soul atman manifesting the form of a laborer in next manifestation... one simply cannot manifest the form of a prince! The crux of the theory of human evolution is... every single human being is the controller of one's destiny. As is the karma performed... accordingly shall be our future... our destiny!

As a human being God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations (human forms)... an earthly life cycle of 12.4 million years! Based on the karma of present life it is also possible that our soul atman again manifests the form of an animal! Science may agree or not... life in the cosmic life cycle rotates based on karma performed... not mere speculation!

The evolution of man is not an automatic process. If we exist in class one on the evolutionary ladder... if the residual balance of karma so demands that we continue in class one in the next manifestation... it shall be so! None in the cosmic system including God Almighty can change the destiny of mankind... the irrefutable laws of karma!

As per Bhagavad Gita it is pertinent upon human beings to travel the spiritual path early in life. It is only by traveling the spiritual path human beings reached the Mount Everest of spiritual pursuit... the 8.4 millionth manifestation when human beings reached the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha).

Karma acts as the accountant general of the cosmic system. The closing balance of one life becomes the opening balance of next manifestation! Life moves like the working of a balance sheet... bit by bit... step-by-step we improve our karma. Only then can we expect a better manifestation in next life.

Truthfully life in the cosmic system belongs to our soul atman and never the human form... the prime reason why Bhagavad Gita says that human beings must conduct life Nishakama karma way of life... offering fruits of all karma performed to God Almighty all the time! In fact... the fruits of karma performed by human beings always belonged to our soul atman... the spirit within!

The concepts of human evolution... the human evolution chart... the chronology of evolution of man can be best understood by fathoming the depth of wisdom contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. It is following the precepts of Bhagavad Gita... Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed reached the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation.

The gist of Bhagavad Gita is available for mere $.40 (Rs 20/=) at most railway stations of India or directly from Gita press, Gorakhpur, India. But how many people understand Bhagavad Gita! In the last 150 years amongst 7 billion people... only two persons reached the stage of enlightenment and salvation... Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana!

Evolving fully in one lifetime of 70 to 80 years is very difficult but not impossible! By establishing total control over five senses and the mind, by practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation... human beings finally evolved to the stage that the need for the soul atman to manifest a body further ceased to exist!

Devoid of all karma... dross impurities within; need for our soul atman... the spirit within manifesting a new body ceases to exist. The stage of enlightenment and salvation announces end of human evolution... the culmination of all things evolutionary! Having evolved fully as a human being... the liberated soul atman finally enters kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism).
