Question: According to Quran or Bible people have come through Adam, but according to gita they don’t tell how people exist in this world, why in this book it is clearly said? Sir I would like to do meditation just like Vivekananda did. But I couldn’t, I understand I am lack of concentration. What can I do sir, I am not getting concentration.
Answer: According to Hindu scriptures, Brahman – the Divine Supreme – projected this universe – first cosmic, then organic, at various levels of evolution. He was not satisfied with all these animals, serpents, fish, trees, etc. because He would not be able to rediscover Himself. So He projected the human form in which He could rediscover Himself. This is the greatness and uniqueness of human birth; one can manifest one’s divinity. The various paths are described for this purpose. The journey through these paths is known as spiritual life . Meditation is one of the higher steps of spiritual life. You read the following two books, where you can get a detailed idea:
1) Meditation and Its methods by Swami Vivekananda
2) Meditation and Spiritual Life by Swami Yatishwarananda
