What is the progress of a soul?

The foundation of Indian ethos is 'rebirth' & 'karmic concept'. Karmic concept is an understanding upon the determinism through each act about the shape of ones future whereas the rebirth is an assurance that this life is not an end to ones existence... there was and there shall be much beyond this life for certitude. One eternal rider that operates through this cosmic creation is that every being is evolving every moment to attain the status of perfection i.e. immersion into the creator's essence. rnNow; under the journey of evolution the core objective remains continuous progression of the soul. What is the progress of a soul? This question remains unanswered with the most. To the maximum any ordinary person (not the ones that are aware and those who known how to contemplate) can imagine about it to the extent that he or she shall have more to consume (as much as one shall desire) i.e. abundance. This understanding is too limiting and does no justice to the actual state of progress at the end of a soul. rnTo explain this subject I choose to pick up an illustration from my own surround. We have a German shepherd dog who is around nine months old... considered still in child's age he is subject to learning most of the times. Since our entire family is deeply engrossed into the belief system of the Indian ethos it is therefore that all are perceptions are an outcome of our bedrock i.e. Indian ethos. As we firmly believe that this life is a passage to the one that shall come hereafter... so do we believe the same for our dog? Our belief goes to the extent that with our prayers and efforts; god must bestow its grace upon this dog and render him with an opportunity to become a human being during his next birth. If our prayers have to realize themselves (through grace of infinite) then an initiation must happen now... our dog must have preparation this very moment to be born as a good human being i.e. to reduce its animal instinct. rnLike most of the animals, dogs too have an irresistible instinct towards food... so much so that when we dine; those who own pets very well know that they immediately come near and cast a continuous gaze upon the food while their tongue projects itself far beyond their mouth, saliva dripping down-non stop. As a scene it is not a comforting one but when we connect our thoughts to the bed rock of our belief system-then our entire response changes... for then we don't see it as an unpleasant event instead we view it as an opportunity that mandates our part of contribution for the evolution of that innocent being for their next life. Though it is not advisable yet; Generally people share their eatables with their pets because during such moment an innocent animal sitting just beside borne with hungry eyes it’s not easy to gulp a morsel... Our intent during those moments is not to give simple behavioral etiquette to the animal instead to evolve the soul affront, which must relinquish its instinct and charge upon the course of a soul under progress... a soul that when shall become born as a human being shall not be confined to the conflict of restraint over food... rnIs it not so that more than 90% of the population of this world (kindly exempt all those who suffer deprivation and starve) under grace of the god become born as a human being but share the same urge as of the animal instinctive behavior; especially when it comes to food... yes of course the food, indeed the manner of serving food and eating it that all differs... but yet the instinct irresistibly operates the same way as it does with an animal... the right hand and left hand conflict over food is nothing else but the one that is mentioned before... overcoming such animal instincts which is merely not confined to food alone; is the 'progress of a soul'.
