This is the goal which a man can dream of at the present
stage of evolution.
During this whole process, he is made to experience
the levels of the various Suns who are in various stages of
evolution. We must remember that there are Suns who

The whole universe is one ‘Man’, developing in the
egg of this space-globe. He is like the foetus in the womb.
Some day, he will be ‘delivered’ and there is the birth of
so many universes from all parts of his body. There are as
many such eggs in absolute space as there are in the ovary
of a woman and follow the same pattern in their cyclic
differentiation. Every egg has got its ovulation and its
flood which correspond with the full-Moon and the new-
Moon, of its own scale. Similarly, the divisions of time
between that new-Moon and full-Moon correspond with
our lunar elongations (Tidhi
-
s). There are 30 tidhi-
s of time
between any two new-Moons. Excluding the new-Moon
and the full-Moon, there are 28 divisions; 14 of them have
the effect of increasing Moon and the remaining 14 are of
the decreasing Moon. The 14 divisions of the white path
(increasing Moon) correspond with Manvanthara-s and the
14 on the black path (decreasing Moon) go by the passive
state called Pral.aya. Likewise the period corresponding
to our lunar month is called a Kalpa.
Every manvanthara has got a sequence of cosmic
events. All the sequences of the 14 manvanthara-s are given
as allegories in the Pura-n.a-s. They are called the stories of
the 14 Manu-s. When these stories are applied to the Moon
phases of our solar month, they give the sequence of events
