From where did the soul come in this world? Insects, animals, birds and moths; all these are actually souls. There is a soul in everyone. In this picture (the picture of the three worlds), the earth and the sun, the moon, stars and the sky element (space) have been shown. A shloka (verse) is mentioned in the Gita in which God has told Arjuna about where He lives: ‘Na tad bhaasayate suuryo na shashaanko na paavakah. Yad gatvaa na nivartante tad dhaama paramam mama.’ (Ch.15, shloka 6) It means, ‘I am a resident of the place where the light of the sun, the moon and stars doesn’t reach, where the light of the fire doesn’t reach. [After reaching that Abode, the souls do not return (to this sorrowful world).] That is My Abode which is the most beyond. This shloka proves that God is the resident of the Supreme Abode (Paramdhaam) and He isn’t omnipresent. Here, it is proved that beyond the world of the five elements, there is another unique, always illuminated sixth element, the Brahmalok. It is called ‘the Supreme Abode’ in English. The Muslims call it ‘arsh’; [they say:] ‘Khudaa arsh mein rahtaa hai, farsh mein nahi’ (God lives in the highest heaven, not on land). But now, they too have started believing God to be omnipresent [and say:] ‘khuda zarre-2 mein hai ’. The Jains believe it to be the ‘turiya dhaam’ (the Unique Abode). It means, all the religions believe in [the existence] of that Abode. All of us souls are the residents of that Supreme Abode where the Supreme Soul, the Point of light, whom the Hindus call ‘Shiva’ also resides. He, abhoktaa Shiva is beyond the cycle of birth and death. All the remaining bhogi (pleasure seeker) souls come in the cycle of birth and death. What is the order of the positioning of those souls in the Supreme Abode? The more the soul performs elevated deeds after coming on this stage like world, it will stay closer to the most beyond Shiva to that extent. And the more the soul performs lowly deeds or plays an inferior part, it will be [positioned] below to that extent; their number increases more and more. There are more souls who perform wicked actions and less deity souls who perform elevated actions; they are said to be 330 million. Those whose number continues to become small towards the top, they themselves are the elevated souls.
At the beginning of the Golden Age, when the new world recurs, the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Copper Age and the Iron Age grow older one after the other. Everything in the world passes through four stages. Just like, the childhood is satvapradhaan , adolescence is satvasaamaanya , adulthood is rajopradhaan and the old age [is tamopradhaan ]; then he is finished. The same principle applies to the world as well. It also passes through these four stages. The satopradhaan world is called ‘the Golden Age’, the rajopradhaan world is called ‘the Copper [Age]’, and the tamopradhaan world is called ‘the Iron Age’. The very order of the descent of the souls from Brahmalok is that the more the souls are elevated, the more elevated is the age in which they descend. The souls that are complete with 16 celestial degrees descend in the beginning of the Golden Age, the souls that are complete with 14 celestial degrees to eight celestial degrees descend gradually from the beginning till the end of the Silver Age, the lowly souls that are complete with eight celestial degrees descend in the Copper Age and from the Iron Age, [the stage of being] devoid of celestial degrees from [the stage of being] complete with four celestial degrees begins. The souls that are devoid of celestial degrees (kalaahiin) and whose only religion (temperament) is to give more and more sorrow to others, it is mentioned about them in the Gita: “muurhaa janmani janmani ” (Ch.16, shloka 20). They are born among the extremely hellish human species. The most degraded souls who give sorrow come at the end of the Iron Age, when all the souls have descended; they don’t find a way to return [to the Supreme Abode], instead, they repeatedly come in the cycle of birth and death here (in this world) itself and they become taamasi (degraded) by continuously experiencing pleasures through the body.
[Suppose] there is a seed, when it is sown many times, its power reduces. It produces smaller leaves, smaller fruits, and smaller tree [grows from that seed] and finally, it just stops producing fruits. Similar is the account of the souls, that once they have descended from above, they keep degrading. Consider the history of 2500 years ago, meaning the last half of the world. Has happiness and peace in the world been changing into sorrow and restlessness or has happiness and peace continued to increase? What does the history say? As the population increased, the souls continued to descend from above. Therefore, because of the growth in population, sorrow and restlessness in the world is bound to increase; [and] it continued to increase. Finally, this [series] reaches the extremity when all the souls have descended. The number of insects, animals and birds, moths, microbes etc. is continuously increasing in the world. So many insecticides are sprayed in India and abroad, still no decline is being noticed in their number. There is a continuous growth in the number of flies and mosquitoes. After all, where are these souls coming from? The answer to this is according to the Gita itself, but no one has clarified it. Now it is becoming clear that these souls are coming from that Soul World and they keep playing their part, by coming in the cycle of birth and death, [the cycle of] maximum 84 [births] in this very world.
