If human virtue is not lost; the human form is not lost. And if one has bestial thoughts all the time, they will take him to into plant and animal life (tiryancha). There is a limit to suffering. If something belongs to you, then you can enjoy it, but if it does not belong to you, then do not even think about it. The fact that one enjoys things that he does not rightfully own, is precisely what transports him to the plant and animal life-form (tiryancha); therefore it is our own thoughts that send us to other realms of existence (gati).
There are some sthavar (immobile), fruit-bearing trees, which humans who have carried out deceit and such immorality, enter into and become coconut trees, mango and other fruit trees. Their entire lifetime is spent on giving fruit to others, so that they can pay off their karmic accounts and become free from their ties to people. No matter how enticing its mangoes are, it would not be able to enjoy its own wonderful fruit, will it? So by providing such mangoes to others, it becomes free from the karma. Which is why all this is scientific and no one can do anything in that.
Thereafter It Goes to Moksha
Questioner: In the Theory of Evolution, a living entity (jiva) evolves into a single-sensed (ekendriya), a two-sensed (beindriya) organism, and develops all the way into a human being. And then from human, it can return to animal, so there seems to be a bit of a contradiction to the evolution theory. Can you clarify this?
Dadashri: No. There is no contradiction. The entire Theory of Evolution is fine. However, it is only correct up to the point of human beings, but they do not know anything beyond that.
Questioner: Does the human being really return to animal life-form? That is my question.
