Aptavani-8

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.

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.
