Who says animals do not have a soul. Now science has also proved that even plants have a soul! If we try to understand the concept of the Cosmos from the beginning... everything becomes clear. Nothing is ambiguous in the cosmic system. All is the result of a law that cannot err!

When a new cosmos is built after the big bang... all souls atmans spread out in the whole of cosmos at unbelievable speeds. These cosmic speeds result in every soul atman getting impurities on the way. To remove these impurities (the dross within)... every soul atman manifests body after another. And begins the cosmic life cycle of the soul atman!

Right from the first manifestation as an amoeba (single cell formation) to the last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation as a human being... the journey of soul atman continues without break. The initial 7.3 million manifestations are spent as insect life, plant life and animal life. The balance 1.1 million manifestations are in the form of a human being.

It is only as a human being that one gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Thereafter... the soul atman having liberated from the cycle of birth and death forever regains its pristine pure original form and goes back to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism).

The insect life, the plant life, the animal life and the form of a human being in the cosmic life cycle of a soul atman is like the life of a human being. In the life of a human being initial 25 years are spent as a student, next 25 five years in a profession and married life, next 25 years in contemplation of God and the balance 25 as a sanyasi (renunciate) in renunciation.

Similarly in the cosmic life cycle of a soul atman... initial years are spent in insect form, then plant life, then animal life and finally the form of a human being. Every soul atman gains the body of a human being after having passed through the cycle of 7.3 million manifestations. It is absolutely the grace of God that we are born a human being... the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle.

From a human being who has reached 70 years of age... one does not expect criticism of the time spent as a child (the insect life), nor when one was in the profession (plant life)... all being part of the cosmic life cycle.

It is spirituality that teaches us what life is all about. Bhagavad Gita... the sacred document of Hinduism provides everything worth knowing by a human being. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all. Everything detailed above has been clearly expressed in Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata.
