Imported quote 13103 In Bhagavad-gita it is also said that the Lord impregnates the material energy with the part-and-parcel jivas, and thus the different forms and different activities immediately ensue. Because of the different desires and karmic activities of the jiva soul, different types of bodies in different species are produced. In Darwin's theory there is no acceptance of the living entity as spirit soul, and therefore his explanation of evolution is incomplete. Varieties of phenomena occur within this universe on account of the actions and reactions of the three material modes, but the original creator, or the cause, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is mentioned here as nimitta-matram, the remote cause. He simply pushes the wheel with His energy. According to the Mayavadi philosophers, the Supreme Brahman has transformed Himself into many varieties of forms, but that is not the fact. He is always transcendental to the action and reaction of the material gunas, although He is the cause of all causes. Lord Brahma says, therefore, in the Brahma-samhita: isvaraḥ paramaḥ krsnaḥ sac-cid-ananda-vigrahaḥ/ anadir adir govindaḥ sarva-karana-karanam. There are many causes and effects, but the original cause is Sri Krsna.
