In Vedic Culures, the unfathomable complexities of the living beings are spoken of , not just in human life but also the 8400000 species of life, 400,000 of which are ” humanoids “
Generally , it is said that good and pious activities bring greater facilities . These include and are in terms of beauty , wealth , widom and insights , particular talents ,intelligence, etc, etc . If such facilities are offered in services to humanity and ultimately Divinity Himself , a further progressed state of consciousness ensues that gives an opportunity to reach the Lands of Divinity Himself who has supremely cultured consciousness along with emotions .
The problems come when those who have karmically earned good credits and opulences become intoxicated by such gifted opulences . They can become proud and exploitative . In that condition , great offences and harm to others might take place , and instead of elevation of consciousness on the back of pious credit , an opportunity is wasted and one takes a step back in the great consciousness journey to Divinity.
In the same way , someone can quickly rise in their consciousness, even though initially born with lesser facilities . They can become humble and learned , if their life is led according to Vedic directions. An association with the good and great is possible for the humble . Spiritual and material mobility works both ways , with plenty of swings and roundabouts or snakes and ladders going on .
Pick up Bhagavad Gita as it is Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains all .
The Srimad Bhagavatam delves even deeper into these topics , the science of consciousness and the responsive universe.
