We are dealing herewith a subject that is of highly esoteric nature. It is not clear why and how the jiva takes a body and struggles to come out of it. However, there are scriptures that give us a clue as to why the jiva takes a form and performs certain functions! One of the secrets revealed is that "The Lord takes a journey to earth in order to examine whether what He has created is functioning well and, finally leaves when He is satisfied!"(Shiva Purana). The process of cration is explained in detail in Vishnu purana. Here again, the Lord only enters all creation! tat srushtva tat evanupravishat | meaning, "having created creation, He entered it!
He willed it| It is the Lord's desire. He said: Eko'ham bahusyam | meaning, I am alone, I shall become many. These are the scriptural statements. The Lord is the invisible Force behind all creation. 'Energy' manifests from Him. It is 'Shiva' (pure Consciousness) becoming 'Shive' (being conscious of Himself) as stated in Shiva purana. It is also stated that Shree Hari Narayana is in yoganidra (Lakshmi as yogamaya covering Him) becomes aware of Himself and Lakshmi manifests as His Energy and Creative power (Shakti) as stated in Vishnu purana.
'Energy' is all that exists and it is vibration of energy that creates an impression in our minds as the vibrant transient world of objects, including the jivas. This view has been supported by Vedanta, as well. There is nothing but vibration of energy, and even the life-forms are nothing but energy created chemical bonds and jiva is vibration of energy in different frequencies, intensities, wave-lengths, and nothing else. Everything is brahman!
A scientific explanation is that the stellar dust particles that reaches the earth get embedded in soil and water and takes different forms and perform functions". That's all!

Now the problem is that of embodiment in different forms. Moreover, once it is embodiment, the jiva gets stuck unable to get out of the rut! This continued embodiment of the jivas may take place in mainly three forms. These three forms are now found as: the land animals, birds, and aquatics. The A T G C are the links in the DNA chain that defines creation. One of these is common to all forms of jivas!However, plants are also there as living beings, courtesy J C Bose. Of all these, the methods of formation of mammals is well known. There are the budbhuda, svedaja, andaja, and the retajas. The human beings are the blessed ones in this regard!
The human beings have, so far, no idea as to how they are born on earth, despite the clear explanation given in the Bhagavad-Gita, Upanishads, Brahma sutras, and all the epics. The humans are the replica of the images, ideas, imagination, and thought force of some invisible super power, say paramatman. He the Lord only is the Self (Atman), core substance of all jivas. It is avidya, ignorance that the jiva does not know its true nature and its cause of embodiment and, as such, seeks redemption, liberation, mukti. It is the clamour and a constant endeavor of the soul to seek emancipation from repeated embodiment and its suffering, This hidden invisible soul, Self, or the Atman is looking for emancipation since it is embodied in an earthen shell (physical body) that is subject to change, degeneration, death and decay. The soul is redeemed as soon as it realizes its true nature and casts of its body. All that has covered it is shed off and the jiva is liberated,
However, once embodies in an eathen shell, constantly fed by food and water, it is not easy for the jiva to get out of the earth and be free!.
