does not describe varieties

Imported quote 18569

Prabhupada: These varieties... According to the Western Darwin's theory, they do not give any nice description of the varieties. But the varieties of living entities are there before creation. They become manifest in next creation. Just like in this creation one is dying as demigod, I mean to say, at the last dissolution, and one is dying as dog or one is dying as a fish. So when the next creation will come out, they also will come out in that way, again as fish, because his activities in the form of fish was not completed. So one has to complete the term of one particular type of body. That is the law of nature. So they remain in dormant stage in the body of Maha-Visnu at the time of dissolution. Prakrtim yanti mamikam [Bg 9.7], in the Bhagavad-gita it is said. Prakrtim yanti mami... Then, at the time of creation, they come out again in the same body as it was in the last creation. Therefore Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, anadi karama-phale, paḍi' bhavarnava-jale. Of course, the evolution takes place, but at the time of creation the particular type of body which I inherited in my last birth or millennium I get again, and again begin evolution. This is the process, going on. Bhūtva bhūtva praliyate [Bg 8.19]. The dissolution takes place. (More...)

So varieties are already there, not that in this creation it begins. Otherwise, how Brahma is created first? Brahma is the most intelligent creature, so intelligent that he is given the power of creating this universe. So not that in the beginning there was no intelligence. The first-class intelligence is there in the beginning of the creation. [aside:] Read. (More...)
