Spiritual evolution, for that matter all evolution upon earth is based on and conditioned by matter which is not easily responsive to the spiritual energy. There are of course worlds where there is no effort and struggle. But that kind of creation is very limited one. It is typal and static with no scope of improving upon itself. Man, when he evolves beyond a point, does have the choice to rest or dwell there forever or else even quit the game completely.
The material world, on the other hand is very challenging but with immense possibilities. Hence the number of Avatars, sages and saints, heroes and martyrs and saviours. But these pioneers do it gladly despite taking the largest share of the burden because they feel it worthwhile and out of immense love and compassion. Thanks to all these efforts we have come a long way from the original brute to the present rational creature with some spiritual seeking and even occasional glimpses.
The spiritual is fairly close now as evident from many things. It is this that will change the ways of mankind and its tendency towards evil by changing the psychological atmosphere of the earth. It is just as man’s coming changed earthly life so too will it be by the coming of the spiritualised humanity that will deal with earth and life very differently.
