AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

There is a saying in the words of many saints that the human birth is attained after going through 8.4 million other animal births. Is there divine truth in this? And my second question is, after attaining human birth, can a person fall back into the animal kingdom? If so, what could be the reasons that lead to this downward journey🤔?

I think this has been answered earlier.  Both Science and Vedantuc Scriptures tell us that man is presently, so far at least, the last product of a long evolution through many forms that proceded it. But human evolution itself is through number of lives beginning from the crude type of humanity closer to the animal kind right upto the highest evolved so far as the saint and the seer. It is quite possibly that in early stages when the consciousness is just emerging out of the human and though in a human form the actions are more like an animal or rakshasa that it may, for a while revert back to the animal life for a while and pick up the human body and the human momentum again.  But this would be quite rare.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Original question asked in Hindi: ऐसा अनेक संतो की वाणी में है की मनुष्य योनि 84 लाक अन्य पशु योनियों से गुजरने पे मिलती है क्या इस बात में दिव्य सत्य है ?

और मेरा दूसरा प्रश्न यह है की मनुष्य जन्म मिलने के बाद क्या मनुष्य वापस पशु योनि में जा सकता है और अगर वापस पशु योनि में जाता है तो उसके क्या कारण हो सकते है जो उसकी यात्रा को वापस नीचे की ओर ले जाते है ?

Purification is the indispensable basis for liberation. It means removing the covering and coating of ignorance and falsehood that veils the true self. In the yoga seeking for mukti, the purification has to be less thorough. It is enough to bring some sattwic rectitude in nature, satwasanshuddhi. Transformation proper..

The talk sounded like you were putting down Marriage as a concept! True, some regions do this horse ride/wasting money, which is in bad taste. However, Marriage as a concept gives the monkey minds a framework. 🥸💍💒[…]

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
