More Description

This book explains in detail the Vedic theories of evolution, Involution, Karma, heaven and hell, etc., in a lucid style, to cater particularly to the western readers. Evolution and involution are only for 'Man' as such. 'Evolution' means the purification of his mind and his consequent progress from the condition of the limited Thinker to the state of the unlimited Self. Man can bring about his progress or deterioration through Karma only in his earth-life as man, in which alone, responsible Karmas are performed. In every lower animal or plant, its inner Jeeva is only undergoing a temporary punishment for some bad Karma he did as man formerly. Western opinions of prof. Henry Drummond, prof. Hackel, H.H. Donaldson, etc., are thoroughly discussed in light of the Vedic theories put forward by the Rishis of India.
