(charging of karma) can any changes be made. Once it has taken shape, nothing can be altered. Any changes in this lifetime, will come to fruition in the next one, and if the planning itself comes to a halt, then one attains final liberation (moksha).
The theory of evolution has validity in the notion that a single-sensed organism (ekendriya) evolves into a human being. However, once the human condition is reached, the ego raises its head; becoming the doer, and goes on to do credit-debit of merit karma (punya) and demerit karma (paap). The tendencies (vruttis) incurred in human life, will determine the portal of entry into any one of the four life forms (bestial, human, demonic or divine). Upon attaining the human form, for eight lifetimes at the most, one wanders around from yoni (life-form) to yoni, paying off the balance of karma at each place, before returning to the human form. The end to the roaming can only happen after Atmagnan (Self-realization)! After Atmagnan, everything flows in an orderly sequence. If it did not happen in a systematic way, then would it not be considered as being in the hands of fate (niyati)? The timing for the living entity (jiva; self) to enter the human form for the very first time is predetermined. But because the ego arises in the human life-form, there are complications, and as a result, it wanders around in the four realms of existence (gati): human, animal, infernal and celestial. No matter how overwhelmed one is by the pressure of circumstances, if the ego can be steered in the direction of liberation (moksha), only then can moksha be attained. But to turn the ego, is not an easy feat; therefore, after taking birth in the human form, the timing for liberation (moksha) remains undetermined. Only after the enlightened or right Vision (samyak drashti) arises, can the time for liberation be determined. But here, a person conducts himself according to relative worldly knowledge and societal influence (loksangnya), and is thrown into the flowing current of worldly life (sansar). Encountering a Gnani Purush, and acting in accordance to his knowledge, one can attain moksha.
