I was asked by my friend to check on the YouTube Videos by Dr.Zakir Naik, who seemed to preach Islam ina scientific way(?) and quotes on The Bhagavad Gita and other Hindu Scriptures.
I checked .
Let me reply him for his Video on the Similarities between Hinduism and Islam.
1."Allah'- Zakir says we associate to partner with Him.
In Yoga Sutra 1.17,Patanjali explained the various types/stages of Yoga,
Savitarka Samadhi,
Savichara Samadhi,
Ananda Samadhi and
Saasmita Samadhi.
These four belong to Sampraagya or the state attained by being with the Consciousness.
Now Patanjali explains that the real Yoga does not stop here.
A Yogi after attaining the Consciousness identification, reaches a stage where he should be able to transcend that stage ,be with the world and yet be with the Consciousness.
This stage is what is described as Asampragyada Samadhi.
This is the stage where the practitioner of Yoga, though he has attained the Sampragya samadhi, returns back, as it were, to the day-to-day World and keeps himself engaged in daily activities, yet remaining one with the Supreme.
This is what Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita while discoursing on the Karma, Gnana, and Bhakti Yoga.
On karma Yoga, Krishna explains that when one performs Duty as it has to be performed with out attachment to the fruits thereof, he attains Brahma Nirvana.
