"All the created objects in this cosmological order are dynamic. Nothing is stationary, all have to move, movement is compulsory. This movement alone is 'Dharma'. Different creatures have [obtained a] mind for the sake of pleasure. The undeveloped and underdeveloped creatures gradually move ahead in the path of evolution out of great struggle. Out of struggle alone dogs, monkeys and jackals attain their lives. This has to be accepted, that there is certainly struggle in animal lives. Take for example, the case of wild creatures. Now these creatures have to move about in search of food. For instance, there are tigers, deer and boars in the forest. They have to move here and there in search of food. And together with this, they have to think where they will go and how they will procure food. Thinking like this, or worrying like this, their psychic development is affected due to physical and psychic clash. Because of this, a little development is effected. After their death all these creatures attain higher bodies of more developed creatures. As for instance, you will mark there are various categories of dogs; some of them have more intellect and some have very little. This is also true in the case of human beings."
