The Process of Evolution             In the previous pages we have discussed the stages of evolution. We see the mind and intellect  growing along with the gross physical body (not always proportional) and reaches the peak of evolution to the stage of Man. In this stage free will is exercised to complete the journey. The man has a choice to now reduce his subtle and causal body expression and realize his true Self to be Unconditioned Consciousness or Atman or Soul. With this realization he completes his journey, which he started with the question Who Am I?         Alike the school experience, almost no one does right in the very first stage into the human body. There is always trial and error in the learning. So we take many births and re-birth just to learn it right. But unfortunately instead of learning it better we make more mistakes and get detained in the same state, unless a great calamity happens in life to awaken from the slumber.

Why Birth and Death?

          Birth and Death occurs at all stages of evolution to proceed to the next evolutionary stage. In the stage of Man also there is repeated life and birth and through each cycle of birth and death (Samsaara), he or she  evolves to the next level.

            Birth and death is a purification process of giving up the lower tendencies of the previous stage. Every experience of pain and suffering drives the tendency to shed the tendencies that was accumulated from the previous stage of evolution. We have already discussed that the causal body (green) has all the tendencies and impressions. These impressions are worked out by converting them into desires and uprooting that impression.

            This can be explained with the following analogy. Suppose if you want to destroy weeds in your home garden, it is difficult to find the seeds of the weeds in the soil and throw them away. Instead, you allow them to sprout and grow to a state where you can easily pluck and destroy it. But care should be taken that you do not allow the weed to grow fully and allow it to mature and bear fruits and drops more seeds into the soil. Then in the next seasonal "cycle" you end with lots of weeds. Similarly we have these big causal body with the impressions and tendencies (seeds) which we have to reduce to complete our journey of knowing the Self. Instead of using the desires to reduce our size of causal body which is full of seeds of impressions, we try to add up. This choice or free will,  we possess can decide when we can extinguish the causal body and realize the Self.

   Suffering - An awakening call

         All pain and suffering in life is to push us forward in evolution. Most often the suffering will awaken us. Are we destined to suffer and undergo evolution. Is there a way out, without undergoing pain and suffering?. Yes, there is a way and that is given by the Vedic tradition. Vedic tradition says man should go through the journey to the Source in a blissful way. Only the preparation for the Journey requires some efforts but later it is always enjoyable.

How to  reach the destination without suffering?

        Through Sakthi Foundation's inquiry approach we have given the foundation for healthy living. First take care of the health and if done with proper understanding one will not only enjoy good physical and mental health but would also go forward in the evolution by transcending to the awareness state.

       The five steps healing or Pancha Bhoota is the easiest means to tread this path while minimum suffering. Pancha Bhoota healing system  is an ancient wisdom which integrates the very core of life.

      Aim of Pancha Bhoota is not merely to live a disease free life but to go through the evolution process with minimal pains and agonies. You had start your reading from the first section health. You are next going to the last section called Symbolism, where our journey to the Source is symbolically represented through rituals and stories, which have  amazing deeper values. All that we talk is from Vedic literature.

       Vedic Literature gives all the lessons of life and its purpose through stories enacting the way our body, senses, mind, intellect and awareness, in the form of characters like Indra, Asuras, Brahma , Vishnu, Shiva etc. All these Gods Goddesses and demons, symbolically reflect the  different elements of our own mind. This Vedic literature is the guiding light for us to reach our destination. 

What is really Heaven and Hell?

   As we mentioned in the last page, when some students do not study well, we scare them. Similarly for such human minds, the Garuda purana gives horror scenes of an imaginary hell and heaven where the souls are tortured for their mistakes done in their life. Garuda Purana is one of the 18 puranas written to simplify the concepts of life for human understanding, which a common man or a learned person equally can comprehend. .

   The intended heaven and hell in these puranas are actually lived in our own life. When we progress to the next evolutionary stage it is heaven, while stagnating in the journey and undergoing shocks and knocks in life is hell.

    We would later see the  Vedic literature will guide us through the process of our evolution. Upon attaining human form our external evolution ends, but our internal evolution begins from this human form. Human form is a no turning back point and will be reborn again and again until we go through the process of evolution correctly.

   Karma      

No one controlling us, but the laws of our own nature.

     Here we have to be clear that no one is sitting some wherein heaven and giving us punishments and rewards. We have the free will to think our thoughts and get the results of our own action.  Two people might be doing the same actions but might have two different results and it might look confusing. But using intellect we will understand that  actions  are influenced by so many factors.

    Example, two individuals might go for a party and had the same food and drinks. The same day or the next day one of the two might develop indigestion problem or get a cold. When two did the same action of going to a party and had the same environment, and  developed two results, because of the difference in the emotional and physical status of the individuals.

    So the results of the actions are inseparable from the very action , which is depended on the previous factors of the body and mind which we call as karma. So the results of our action are based on the very actions and the factors of the past. Like the above example the individual who got cold after going tot he party had stress and so his immunity was down. With these "past" factors when he went to the party though his friend and himself was exposed to cold virus , only he due to the stress factors got the cold.

      We understand from the previous page that every action is governed by a set of rules of nature that are inherent in the very action itself. However there are unseen factors that also influence the course of the end results of the actions. So every action  influenced the result of other actions and sets in   the Similarly Some receive very hard blow and some small,  depending upon their tamasic nature.  Punishments are not for sadistic reasons but to drive the student to seek knowledge and so are we getting sufferings and pain so that we seek the light of intellect and awareness, which leads us to realize our true Self.

 Internal war 

       Major difference between "Sanatana Dharma" or Vedic  tradition is that other spiritual traditions ask man to give up desires, because desires is the root cause of all pain and sufferings. A practical question is how to give up desires when even giving up desire itself a desire. It is impractical to live life without desires. Vedic tradition says there is no problem in desires but the root cause of pain and suffering is because we lose the awareness of our true "Self". (please do not skip reading  the previous page for details).

         There is always the factor of Ego in us that prevent us from being in the state of Awareness or true Self. This internal war between the Ego and the transcendence to our true self is the theme of Vedic-Puranas. The war between the Devas (Gods) and Asuras (demons) is our own  internal war. Every time when the Gods or Devas forget their won nature (True Self), they lose their power and are driven out of heaven by the Asuras (pain and suffering). They would finally seek refuge in intellect or pure Consciousness (Vishnu) and Awareness (shiva) (details in Puranas section).

Loss of Awareness of the Self leads to suffering

      Whatever actions we may be involved if we are not aware of our Self and do not take steps in progressing in our evolutionary journey, then in the form of pain and suffering we will be mercilessly be pushed forward. As we said  earlier like driving the car we can talk and listen to music but cannot afford to lose the awareness of driving and also keep track of the directions. If we do not keep of directions again it is a pain to get back to the right road.

     We started from Pancha Bhoota healing giving you this direction to evolve forward without undergoing pain and suffering in the life's journey. All the health approaches would seem to take care of the body, but in the deeper level, the five steps help you to strengthen your intellect and then be aware of your true self.

     The final stages in the journey is to completely purify the mind from the grips of the Ego thought "I". This is achieved by understanding the Upanishads which is simplified as Bhagavad Gita. Gita helps one to transcend the Ego and attain Self-realization.

     Sakthi Gita is the practical approach of living the essence of Bhagavad Gita and complete the Journey to the Source. This is the easiest way to get relief from pain and sufferings of life.
