Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Dear Members, The Vedas contain ‘apourusha vishayas’ (matters beyond the comprehension of the limited mind). There is no end to the glory of the Vedas. The Vedas has no Text but has been taught verbally (word of mouth) down the generations till date. The ‘shabdam’ (sound) of the Vedas still exist in this ‘prapancha’ (universe). The cosmic around is unclean. By unclean it is not the unhygienic smoke that is meant. All our thoughts fill and affect the space around and above. And our thoughts are not pure. But as we move high up, the space becomes pure, as there are no thought waves of man filling it up. Here, in this space, that is free of thought waves, is the sound of the Vedas. One whose mind has been destroyed, one who is bereft of thoughts becomes a Yogeeswara. Such Yogis grasped the sound of the Vedas and passed it on to humanity. One may question, “What do the Vedas contain?” Such a question is totally absurd for the mere reason that the Vedas contain everything - be it worldly or spiritual matter. One should understand this. It is not in everyone one to comprehend the essence of the Vedas. How do Mahatmas speak? What does the Vedas say? The Vedas will never claim anything as its own opinion on any subject matter. But say, “Brahmavadino vadanti!”- one who has realized Brahman says so. But, what do the ‘Brahman realized’ Mahãtmas say? They say, “The Vedas say so!” Great ones like Adi Sankara lived in this country. Could he not have declared in his writings that they were his own opinion? Would not his words been believed by us? But such great Mahatmas have never claimed any compliment for their writings/words but have said it was based on the Sruti (‘Sruti pramana’). Be it Ramanuja or Madhwacharya. All Mahatmas have written their ‘Grantas’ only with the Sruti as the base. Not only these Mahãtmas who came later, down the ages who have said so but also Valmiki whose Ramayana is ‘adi kavyam’ (the first epic) says, “Veda upabrahmanartaya”. This Ramayana has been born only to speak of that which the Vedas say. How does he say so? Vedas say, ‘matru devo bhava, pitru devo bhava, acharya devo bhava, athiti devo bhava”. Look upon your mother, father, preceptor and the guest as verily God. The Vedas also say, “satyam vada, dharmam chara”. Speak the Truth and stand by the path of Dharma. The Vedas do not say speak Dharma but walk in the path of Dharma. !!! Will Continue !!!
