As a human being we were not all one but our essence, consciousness within was of same essence. Our soul atman existing in our heart was the same as that existing in any insect, plant or an animal.
Let us take a lump of 100 KG of gold ore that contains one KG of pure gold. So now we have one KG of pure gold surrounded by 99 KG of dross impurities. When a soul atman started its cosmic journey it was one KG of pure gold. In its cosmic sojourn it gathered impurities and became 100 KG lump of gold ore. By indulging in karma, by manifesting form after another this soul atman, one KG of pure gold desires regaining its lost original pure prime pristine primordial form… one KG of pure gold.
When the soul atman manifests form of amoeba (single cell formation), the first manifestation in cosmic life cycle… it was 100 KG lump of gold ore. It subsequently evolves into multi-cell formation, insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the human form. In simpler words we could say the threshold for insect life existed at say 80 KG lump of gold ore. The threshold for plant life, say at 50 KG lump of gold ore. The threshold for animal life, say at 20 KG lump of gold ore.
Indulging in karma manifesting life after another when a soul atman reaches 19 KG lump of gold ore, it simply means that soul atman had already manifested human form after crossing threshold at 20 KG. The soul atman remaining the same in all living beings, it was only dross impurities within that separated us from each other. In the timeline of evolution… all insects, plants, animals were our sisters and brothers in the lower hierarchy. In the human form itself a soul atman could manifest a maximum of 1.1 million bodies before human beings reached stage of enlightenment and finally salvation moksha.
Becoming a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed was not that easy.
