The Theory of Evolution and the Vedic perspective of Creation

[Guest guest]

H.N.Sreenivasa Murthy,

Pranams to all.

The following excerpt From The book "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi "

should be a very important pointer for all sincere and serious mumukshus.

Quote:

D: The vedas contain conflicting accounts of Cosmogony. Ether is said to

be the first creation in one place; prana in another place; something

else in another place; waters in still another, and so on. How are these

to be reconciled ? Do not these impair the credibility of the vedas ?

 

Maharshi: Different seers saw different aspects of truth at different

times, each emphasising some one view. Why do you worry about their

conflicting statements ? The essential aim of the veda is to teach us the

nature of the imperishable Atman and show us that we are That.

 

D : I am satisfied with that portion.

 

Maharshi : Then treat all the rest as Artha vada (auxillary arguments) or

expositions for the sake of the ignorant who seek to trace the genesis of

things and matters.

UNQUOTE.

The above excerpt clearly points that all talks and discussions about

EKA JIVAVADA, NANA JIVAVADA, SDV, DSV etc etc are not to be indulged in by genuine and sincere mumukshus, as such activities take them away from

their main purpose Viz., Moksha or Self-Realization.

With warm and respectful regards,

Sreenivasa Murthy
