inter-actions going on among the cells. There is a marvellous integrality and orderliness in the functioning of the organism.
This evolution is even now on, and it can never stop; and since man has developed not only a higher type of consciousness but also self-consciousness, and what we call conscience as well, we are in a pɔsition to study the elementary urges behind the phenomenon of this evolution, It may not be possible for man to arrive at total knowedge and full understanding of the urges of evolution. But even a partial understanding and right perception of the urge gives man a chance to participate in his own evolution, which has been hitherto going on, on its own, driven by natural cosmic forces, If the evolution of the Homo-Sapiens fron his predecessors has been by a kind of mutation, it is on the cards that a superior hunan being may also come into existence by another mutation. The endeavour of men at the present stages of evolution is however, to explore if he can consciously participate, even in a very small degree, in his evolution to a higher level of conscious existence.
In addition to the biological urges of survival and security, man hankers after peace as an opportunity, and precondition for his normal, proper development of body, vital energies and mental faculties. Here peace does not mean the termasic lethargy, nor does it means the peace of sleep or the grave; it does not mean the peace which is vainly sought after through tranquilises and drugs and drinks. It is creative peace which stimulates man to higher effort and which makes it possible to develop culture of every type. In fact, all culture is the development and expression of the multifaced potentialities in human beings. Next to peace
