I have made another attempt to explain the truth in simple English in Plain Truths blog. Some of the readers suggested me to provide some scriptural statements supporting these posts. So, I have written Yoga Vedanta blog that gives references to the words of Lord.

I am eternally studying Yoga VaasishTa and make random posts to the blog on wordpress.

"Evolve or Perish" - is the divine law

The purpose of human form of life is to evolve the mind to the higher level.

Due to Ego, each life form is naturally instigated to preserve and propagate itself. This is common in human form of life also.

But, human form has unique ability of "discriminating and analytical" mind. Putting this unique ability to work, dissolving the Ego and raising the consciousness above the level of animal consciousness of natural instincts is what is meant by the Evolution of mind.

If not done, the human form life is a an opportunity wasted or missed. That is meant by perishing. It may take quite a long time to get the opportunity again!

So, "Evolve or Perish" is the divine law. - As it was told by my Guru's Guru - Swami Suryananda.

[The term Evolution here means mental purification and spiritual unfoldment. It should not be confused with Darwin's organic evolution or Mendel's Genetic evolution, both of which have nothing to do with spiritual evolution]

Om Tat Sat.
