Aptavani-8

When they talk about there being 8,400,000 yoni (places of inception; birth), it means total sum of all the yonis of the different types of life-forms (jivas). If it had to go through all the 8,400,000 again, you would never see it again! How would you? However, it is not like that. It only has to wander around over here. If the living entity goes from human life into animal life, it stays there for eight lives (lifetimes), before returning to human life again.
Questioner: But according to the theory of evolution (utkranti), it cannot go from being a human, to the lower lifeform, can it?
Dadashri: This is how it is: it is only in the human realm (gati), where both charging and discharging occur; whereas the celestial realm (deva gati) is in the form (swaroop) of discharge; the plant and animal realm (tiryancha gati), is in the form of discharge, and the infernal realm or Hell (nark gati) is in the form of discharge. Therefore, those who have gone to animal life-form, celestial life-form, or infernal life-form, they have only gone there from the human life-form. Darwin's theory is not entirely wrong. It is ten or fifteen percent correct. But there are three hundred and sixty degrees to complete knowledge! He did not have complete knowledge of this. He discovered it through his intellect (buddhi), which is fine and correct. But he did not know, that afterwards, the entire path takes on a curve, where humans can even devolve into cows and buffaloes, whose realm (gati) is not one of development. For they only come from the human life-form.
And so the theory of evolution is only right, up to about ten percent. The other ninety percent, he did not know about. After all, his ten percent discovery is only up until the human realm (gati)! He did not know about the devolution (vakragati) that occurs for the human being; how did the human end up as an elephant? How did the bull appear? How did the horse
