Maharshi's Gospel - 85

[Guest guest]

D. Not only does Western empirical science consider the world real,

but the Vedas give elaborate cosmological descriptions of the world

and its origins. Why should they do so if the world is unreal?

 

 

Maharshi: The essential purpose of the Vedas is to teach you the nature

of the imperishable Atman, and to declare with authority,

"Thou art That".

 

D. I accept. But why should they give cosmological descriptions spun out

at great length, unless they consider the world real?

 

M. Adopt in practice what you accept in theory, and leave the rest.

The sastras have to guide every type of seeker after Truth, and

all are not of the same make-up. What you cannot accept treat

as artha-vadha or auxiliary-argument
