time. Your mind, your speech and your body are all an effect. Any suffering or enjoyment experienced during the discharge of an effect, leads to new causes, which in turn will become 'effective' in the next life. In this manner, the cycle of 'cause and effect', *effect and cause' perpetuates.

Causes of new karma can only be stopped in the human life. There is only effect in all other life forms. In human beings there is both causes and effects. When I give you the knowledge of your real Self, Gnan, new causes will stop, and no new effects will occur.
Until Then The Wandering Continues...
The effective body refers to the three charged batteries of the mind, speech and the body, which create new causes. So in this life, these batteries continue to discharge while simultaneously new batteries are being charged. The Gnani Purush puts a stop to the charging and so only the old ones continue to discharge.
After death, the soul enters another womb. Until one becomes Self-realized, it continues to wander from womb to womb. One becomes one with the mind, with the intellect and this is the reason why new causes are created and the worldly life continues over and over again. To become one with the mind and the intellect is to plant a seed in a womb. Lord Krishna has said that as the seeds fall into the womb, the worldly life continues. When the sowing of new seeds ceases, the worldly life will cease.
The Science Of Evolution
Questioner: According to Darwin's theory of evolution, life develops from a single sensory organism until it reaches the human form. On the other hand there is the belief that one goes back to animal form after human birth. Can you clear the
During, Before and After Death contradiction in these two?
Dadashri: No, there is no contradiction in it. The Theory of Evolution is correct. But it is only correct up to the point where it reaches the human form. There is no knowledge about what happens beyond this point.

Questioner: Is it true that a person can go back into an animal form from a human form?
Dadashri: First, as it is stated according to Darwin's theory, life develops to the point of a human form.
From here onwards, here is my explanation. After coming to the human form, because of the presence of the ego, he becomes the doer. He becomes the doer of karmas and this is the cause and therefore he has to endure the effects of his causes. If he creates a debit (paap, demerit karma or sins) he reincarnates in the animal form and if he creates credits (punyas, meritorious deeds), he is born as a celestial being, or as a human being again, where he will enjoy material comforts and luxuries. So after coming into the human form, everything depends upon these debits and credits.
No More Wombs
Questioner: Is it not said that one has become the human form after wandering through 8.4 million wombs, and then he has to undergo the same amount of wandering before he returns to the human form.
Dadashri: No, it is not like that. Having achieved the human form once, one does not have to go through the cycle of 8.4 million births again to be born as a human again. If a person has an animal-like mentality, he will reincarnate in the animal form for a maximum of eight births. And that too will only be for a period
