A questioner observes that major religions and spiritual traditions seem to have emerged from specific geographical locations, particularly the Indian subcontinent, and asks for the reason. Acharya Prashant responds by first broadening the scope, pointing out that the questioner has missed other significant places like Greece, home to philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as China and Japan. He explains that the emergence of these traditions is not about the geography itself but about the existence of favorable ecosystems at particular times. Acharya Prashant elaborates that at certain times and places, favorable ecosystems exist. He uses India as an example, noting its fertile soil in the Indus and Ganga basins and the guaranteed monsoons, which provided ample food. This abundance meant people had ample leisure. In this leisure, they could sit, observe, talk, and engage in intellectual and spiritual inquiry. This is contrasted with a life where one is constantly running after ambitions with a tight schedule, which leaves no room for philosophical development. Conversely, the same can happen in a very unfavorable ecosystem where survival is so brutal that people realize nothing will happen no matter how hard they try, so they stop trying and turn inward. He states that there is nothing particular in the geography of Bangalore that makes it conducive to silica, implying that it's the ecosystem that matters. Due to historical and coincidental reasons, an ecosystem develops, and once it's there, more of the same starts happening. This is why universities are important. He explains that India was a more fertile land for religious inquiry because the soil was fertile, the monsoons were guaranteed, and there was hardly any irrigation in those days, so people had to wait for the rains. With a sparse population and ample food, people had the leisure to sit, observe, and talk purposelessly for hours, days, and months. From this silent observation and purposeless discussion, the insights that are now known as Indian philosophy emerged. Ultimately, Acharya Prashant concludes that this phenomenon is not specific to any one geography. Wherever there is man, there is dissatisfaction. Where there is dissatisfaction, there is an inquiry into its reason, and that inquiry itself is called religion. Man is not whole or well and feels a restlessness within. The search for the greatest, the best, the absolute, is what differentiates man from animals. This search for 'bigness', which Vedanta calls 'Atma', is man's destiny. This is not a doctrine or dogma but is contained within every human being. Even if one denies Vedanta, the restlessness remains. It is a universal human experience that can be known, not just believed in.
