● Swami vivekanand told that consciousness created the universe by becoming various from one. Different organisms and objects are different forms of consciousness originally. This belief is called Advait. He also said that question about origin and development of universe has been replied many times and it would be replied many more times.

● According to basic principle of whole universe, everything starts with a seed. It develops up to its extreme limit and finally gets destroyed after producing seeds. Seeds cannot develop into a plant immediately, it has to wait in soil for sometime to prepare itself. In same way universe also does necessary work for sometime. It is called pre-state of creation or Holocaust.
