( charging of karma ) can any changes be made . Once it has taken shape , nothing can be altered . Any changes in this lifetime , will come to fruition in the next one , and if the planning itself comes to a halt , then one attains final liberation ( moksha ).
The theory of evolution has validity in the notion that a single-sensed organism ( ekendriya ) evolves into a human being . However , once the human condition is reached , the ego raises its head ; becoming the doer , and goes on to do credit-debit of merit karma ( punya ) and demerit karma ( paap ). The tendencies ( vruttis ) incurred in human life , will determine the portal of entry into any one of the four life forms ( bestial , human , demonic or divine ). Upon attaining the human form , for eight lifetimes at the most , one wanders around from yoni ( life-form ) to yoni , paying off the balance of karma at each place , before returning to the human form . The end to the roaming can only happen after Atmagnan ( Self-realization )! After Atmagnan , everything flows in an orderly sequence . If it did not happen in a systematic way , then would it not be considered as being in the hands of fate ( niyati )? The timing for the living entity ( jiva ; self ) to enter the human form for the very first time is predetermined . But because the ego arises in the human life-form , there are complications , and as a result , it wanders around in the four realms of existence ( gati ): human , animal , infernal and celestial . No matter how overwhelmed one is by the pressure of circumstances , if the ego can be steered in the direction of liberation ( moksha ), only then can moksha be attained . But to turn the ego , is not an easy feat ; therefore , after taking birth in the human form , the timing for liberation ( moksha ) remains undetermined . Only after the enlightened or right Vision ( samyak drashti ) arises , can the time for liberation be determined . But here , a person conducts himself according to relative worldly knowledge and societal influence ( loksangnya ), and is thrown into the flowing current of worldly life ( sansar ). Encountering a Gnani Purush , and acting in accordance to his knowledge , one can attain moksha .
