Evolution of Life
(how life germinated in the cosmic system - origin of life)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Heaven and hell are not mere concepts that exist in a dream state! Starting from the beginning... the story goes like this... the moment big bang occurred... all souls atmans spread out in the Cosmos. In their cosmic sojourn... they gathered impurities on the way! To eradicate the impurities within... all souls atmans are required to manifest a chain of life forms one after another until they regain their pure pristine original form!

And starts the cosmic journey of the soul atman within... a journey of 8.4 million manifestations (an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years)! The soul atman within manifests one life after another provided matching parents are available on Mother Earth. Everything in the cosmic domain is governed by the doctrine of karma. Whatever be the balance of karma of the present manifestation... becomes the opening balance of the next manifestation!

What if matching parents are not available on Mother Earth? In this interim period the soul atman hibernates either in heaven (aka Swarga in Hinduism) or hell (aka Naraka in Hinduism)... In heaven... if the residual balance of karma is positive and hell if negative!

Never from heaven or hell can the soul atman within regain its original pure pristine form! No sooner matching parents are available on Mother Earth... the soul atman immediately manifests a life form!

Heaven exists in the core of sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. It is in such temperatures... the soul atman feels the comfort of heaven. This clearly proves that human beings can never go to heaven in bodily form.

Hell exists in the periphery of the sun where temperatures are considerably less. It is in such low temperatures the soul atman suffers in hell! No soul atman can directly enter the kingdom of God from heaven or hell.

Only as a human being... the highest manifest stage in cosmic life... can a soul atman liberate itself from the cycle of birth and death forever and regain its original pure pristine form!

The highest stage of cosmic life is reached when a human being gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). The moment this happens... the liberated soul atman enters the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism)... a point of no return!

Whenever someone passes through a traumatic experience... we sometimes experience flashes of life! And what does this mean? This simply indicates that our earthly sojourn... our way of working... our goal of life is not in conformity with the desires of our soul atman within.

It is our soul atman that has manifested the body to work out its karma and not vice versa! Prompted by the ego... whenever a human being follows a different goal of life than dictated by our soul atman within... we experience flashes... that are simple warnings for us to follow the dictates from within! The sooner we adjust to the warnings... the better!
