As we observe, due to attachment to inferior modes of nature during Human life, jeevAtmas are getting born in about 80 million Species of Sthavara and Jangama. An Atma may take birth through many plant/tree varieties, maybe rock varieties, then through different animal species like fishes, then birds, flies, bigger animals and finally evolves to human life.
However, when jeevAtmas are progressing through these yonigals, there is no spiritual transformation happening automatically. As an example if I am deer or a chicken and if I am killed by a tiger or a human in a butcher shop, there isn’t a new Smaskara coming in mind that this is painful and we should never in future commit same crime on other species.
So, when such Atma is born back in human life, we automatically due to same vasanas which we had in the human life previous to the journey through sthavara-jangama, commit same papas again and again and act against the rules given by shastras. There is no automatic imprinting in mind coming through the sthavara-jangama that so much papas we have exhausted coming through these yonikal and we shouldn’t again commit these again. Automatically by same papa vasanas, we commit same papas again and again.
Then what is the purpose or benefit behind giving the lower births to a jeeva if He is not corrected by this process.
In our human life, also, when a child touches a fire, his hands get burnt and He understands and doesn’t touch fire again. When a criminal is put behind bar, he undergoes many severe punishments and He tries getting reformed through those punishments and his mind gets purified somewhat.
Similarly, we ourselves also have gone through many naraka vasams/Sthavara-jangama births but we don’t have any automatic mental reformation due to that but we keep on doing same papas in the human life which we get in due course. What is the reasoning or proper concept behind this ?
Why humans have to depend on sastrams that too which is accessible only in india and that too we need to depend on lot of adrshta concepts for getting reformed?
Thanking you,
