‘Ananda moya bhyasat ‘

Every being is pleasure seeking , that is the nature of consciousness . Looking for happiness and pleasure is the constitution of the soul.

Everyone in material life is struggling hard with conditioned minds and conditioned senses trying to avoid difficulties and are always rooting for pleasure either personally , communally , or nationally. The problem is that even if some pleasurable situation comes about , it’s fleeting and generally leads to more frustration.

The theolgical and philosophical and I might add scientific problem is how can the consciousness be in a state where it can experience what it craves for , after all why should it or anyone settle for less , are  we to  really assume that we don’t deserve happiness and blissful lives ?  look at little children , they certainly don’t think like that , they are full of expectations , and that’s healthy good living.

Throughout the 8,400,000 species of life , all of whom are pleasure seeking , there is an evolutionary consciousness experience taking place , the human condition is in the middle range , higher insights and culture of consciousness takes place in middle planetary systems and further still in the higher planetary regions , further still are the beginnings of the spiritual planets ultimately leading to the very centre and perfection of blissful relationships in a variegated spiritual environment .

This evolutionary process is driven by an individuals search and desires as well as cultural development.

So never mind scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , the Vedas has the handle on the realities of evolutionary theory , which is fact based theory,  tested and seen in nature , unlike a Darwinian hypothesis.
