Evolution a truth of “Human Being’s”, and Spirituality

“Human being is the most evolved of all the living beings in the nature. A human being comprises four bodies representing four levels of existence in nature. Each of these levels has a special role and significance which is reflected in the behavior and working of the human being as a living system. Practice of special techniques like yoga, meditation in addition to medicines can be used to improve the working of various bodies and levels of existence in a human being.”

Introduction
In the world of livings a human being is the most evolved among all the living beings. Human beings not only live and display the capability to manipulate nature to suit their requirement but use the nature by devising newer and newer solutions and models in the nature. All this is caused by the special structure of Human Being. Western philosophy and medical science see a human being as a body with systems and organs. Even life force, thinking, breathing and working of human body and organs is considered as a result various electrical, chemical, magnetic and other physical forces and reactions in the body. Western philosophy talks of soul as an element of human but not with a scientific acceptance. Indian philosophy considers a human being made of four bodies as physical, subtle, causal and super causal bodies with related sub systems and elements which control and guide all physical, mental, emotional and spiritual actions and behavior in the human being. .

From modern scientific point of view findings and theories of medical and social sciences provide a view of birth and growth of human being from a single cell(Zygote) to full grown being with capabilities and characteristics unique to each being. Latest developments in genetics and genetic engineering are also based on work of medical and other scientists. Works and findings of Indian Philosophy, which fully cover all the findings of medical and physical scientists in the description of physical and subtle bodies and their elements, are slowly being accepted by western scientists and doctors as teachings and techniques of yoga and meditation are being practiced and studied by experts from western world. Still there are some other aspects of human being defined in Indian philosophy, which if studied and practiced by modern science can help in decoding other secrets of human body and being, and can be used in further enhancements of existing medical and other practices relating to a human being.

One important aspect of Indian. and Vedic Philosophy relates to levels of existence. Modern science defines creation and growth of life from big bang and birth of a cell to modern times as evolution. Indian philosophy considers this evolution as a part of divine plan of creation, which happens at four levels. These four levels are physical, subtle, causal and super causal. These levels are also seen in the existence and bodies in a human being.
