Evolution is defined as a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
Evolution is of two types – conscious and unconscious.
Unconscious Evolution is the journey of the individual being in all their previous lives, in various forms, till they get their present human body.
Conscious Evolution is the journey of the individual when they are in the human body and start seeking out why and for what purpose they are living.
Unconscious evolution is hardwired into the being – you keep moving from species to species till you come to the human body. Even in the human body, evolution can be unconscious over multiple lives. An individual can live their human life in a most primal unconscious manner.
Conscious evolution is a personal choice; it starts only when the individual being wants to move ahead and know what lies beyond them.
Your conscious evolution starts when you want to know more about yourself or the world, or the universe you are in. This question arises in an individual by itself, even though the trigger is usually outside the individual.
Meditation is the key for conscious evolution. As you meditate, your awareness increases and you become more in tune with your own nature as well as the world outside. A regular meditation practice makes you meditative, which in turn leads you to ascend from the Mooladhar Chakra all the way to the Sahasrar Chakra and beyond.
The Padma Purana, Garud Purana, Srimad Bhagavatam and Chandogya Upanishad, all mention the 8.4 lakh Yonis or types of birth an individual takes before coming to the human body. If you are reading this, you are not only blessed with a human body but also an intelligence that has evolved over multiple lives.
