As per Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism after the dissolution of old cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... the size of entire cosmos reduces to size of half a thumb! Seems unbelievable... but inherent latent facts of life just cannot be ignored! Devoid of all dross impurities within... the volume of all purified souls atmans occupies the size of half a thumb! And what is this half a thumb? As per sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism this half a thumb is what humanity recognizes as God Almighty... termed Brahman in Hinduism! Ever since God Almighty exploded self with a big bang... all impure souls atmans desire regaining their lost original pure prime pristine primordial form at the earliest! It is only through process of evolution... every soul atman moves from one manifestation to another... one body to next! Karma acts as the intermediary force that acts as the accountant general of the cosmic system. Whatever the residual balance of karma of present life at the time of death of body becomes the opening balance for the next manifestation! Of all facts supporting evolution... requirement of every soul atman to purify itself... cleanse itself of dross impurities within is the foremost of all! Similar as one KG of pure gold sandwiched in hundred KG lump of gold ore requires external mining machinery and processes for its extraction... every soul atman also manifests a chain of 8.4 million bodies to work out its karma!
The process of evolution is gradual! The presence of insects, plants and animals is sufficient evidence... enough proof that life in cosmic system gradually evolves before reaching its peak... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in the cosmic life cycle! Other facts supporting evolution consist of insect, plant and animal life inching ahead in the cosmic system gradually! In the chain of evolution... every soul atman initially manifests the form of an amoeba (single cell formation) the first manifestation in the cosmic life cycle! It further evolves into multi-cell formation, then insect life, plant life, animal life and finally forms of human beings! Before reaching human stage every soul atman has already manifested 7.3 million life forms!
Nothing that exists in Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism can ever be belied! Bhagavad-Gita is as much a fact of life as existence of life on mother Earth! One single document is sufficient for mankind to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism has no parallel in mankind... it is a unique scripture in all respects! Ever since the existence of mankind on mother Earth... the doctrine of Bhagavad-Gita has guided mankind in every aspect of life! Before the coming of Jesus Christ came Gautama Buddha preceding him by about 423 years! Mahavira... the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism (preceptor) preceded Gautama Buddha by about 77 years.
Lord Krishna... an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form) came about thousand years earlier to Mahavira! The doctrine of Bhagavad-Gita given to mankind by Lord Krishna in battle of Mahabharata is sufficient for human beings belonging to any religion, faith or belief to reach stage of enlightenment and salvation in their lifetime! Every single fact of evolution... every single detail concerning evolution is available in the sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism! The contents of Bhagavad-Gita can never be understood literally... one needs reading in between the lines! For understanding evolution... the primary facts supporting evolution... one needs assimilating the wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita! In the chain of facts supporting evolution... another primary factor supporting evolution is the doctrine of karma! The law of karma was necessitated to facilitate movement of life from one manifestation to another... the movement of a soul atman the spirit within from one body to next! It is karma that connects two manifest stages of life.
All the 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad-Gita primarily support the theory of evolution... the evolution of mankind! As a student of class one finally promotes to class II... then three... then four... life in the cosmic system gradually moves ahead through process of evolution. Insects evolving to plants, plants to animals and animals finally to human beings! In the circumstances concept of ape to human evolution is part of human destiny! Evolution of man from ape is not a defunct theory! Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism confirms ape to human evolution! As human beings the last stage of evolution is... reaching the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
The highest stage of evolution of mankind is gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Reaching the kingdom of God is the end goal of any form of life on mother Earth. It is only in human form every soul atman finally gains liberation from cycle of birth and death forever... something that was not possible otherwise! For life to evolve in cosmic system after occurrence of big bang it took billions of years for cosmic cauldron to cool down before life supporting planets like mother Earth evolved! Right from beginning to the end... it is only through the process of evolution the cosmic consciousness... life moves ahead in cosmic life cycle!
Our soul atman the spirit within is the absolute master and controller of the body and not vice versa! For a soul atman to evolve gradually... it needs manifesting a total of 8.4 million bodies out of which 7.3 million manifestations occur in insect, plant and animal form... the remaining 1.1 million manifestations in the human form! To unveil
the absolute facts supporting evolution... one needs fathoming the
depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism! Bhagavad-Gita
contains all that is worth knowing on the spiritual path. To reach
God... to talk to God we need understanding the crux of evolution...
the principle behind evolution of man... evolution of life in the
cosmic system!
