What is the origin of man? At the beginning there is garbha or space. In this garbha (womb or space) human life originates and has the form of a bubble on the seventh day. On the 15^th day it takes the form of the embryo. On the 30^th day it becomes foetus. On the 60^th day, the head starts taking shape. On the 210^th day, the foetus quickens with life. On the 240^th day, the full body is formed. On the 270^th day the child comes out into the world. The Veda declared that space and time are essential factors in human birth.

Instead of understanding the miracle of human existence, men are wasting their lives in the pursuit of transient worldly pleasures. Although superficially it may appear as if there are differences between the findings of science and the declaration of the Vedas, essentially there are no differences. The Veda has revealed many truths not discovered by science. Science has not yet found many of the truths declared by the Vedas.

People should try to find out how much of the powers of the Divine are present in man. The individual (Jiva) and God are not different from each other. The individual, however, by his attachment to the body, is leading a mundane existence. The day man develops love of Spirit, he will realise the oneness of the individual and the Divine. (SSS Vol.30)
