THE THREE VEDAS
‘The Rigveda’ means word i.e., word uttered vocally or voice.Word
uttered through vocal chords is called Rigveda.The background behind
this word is ‘prana’.The pulsation that causes respiration is called
‘Prana’.Prana is the Samaveda . (‘’Pramah Samavedaha’’).Sama means
song.This is called the song of wisdom.The third is the Yajurveda.The
word Yajuh means the plane to conduct s ritual. So the volume
Yajurveda contains the details of the plan of how to conduct
rituals.Yajuh means the plan of ritual, how to conduct a ritual,how to
arrange the seats of the people in a ritual, what are they to do and
how they have to behave, what they should utter.This detail is called
‘Yajus’.So this is the plan of the ritual.This comes under the
‘Yajurveda’. But esoterically, it means, th plan.What is it that is
planning in us ?Mind. ‘’Mano Yajurveda’’.The Yajurveda means the
mind.Thus with these implements, we are doing these acts and compiling
these volumes outside.With the Rishis, Rigveda is acting in us,we are
uttering that Rigveda.They observed the Rigveda in us and visualized
that Yajurveda.Thus the three Vedas are inside as principles and the
Rishis have given us the discourses in the books outside,about these
inside principle.So the Vedas existed long before the vedic books were
written,because they exist in us.And for the three Vedas, that exist
in us, there is an externalization in the form of Mantams,
explanations and commentaries and finally in the form of volumes of
books .So the Vedas exist in you and in the creation around you, in
the form of the laws were there through which we were born.Just as the
trees sprout and put forth their leaves and foliage again always, the
Vedas put forth the working out of these laws in terms of the activity
of the whole creation.Because the tree is sprouting and leaving their
leaves continuously.We know that it is a tree.Similarly, because the
whole creation is systematically coming out, the Rishis saw that there
was the Veda as under-currrent.So Veda is wisdom
All this cannot be put on papers or even cassette . No one can do
it,but we can feel it .We can habituate our consciousness to make this
true to our consciousness.To learn it, is not possible.It is
impossible. You can learn about it. You cannot learn it, because you
have to become that,What we learn is about it and not itself.If you
lay abook on ‘’Magnetism’’ on an iron-piece cannot know what magnet
is, but it can become- a magnet.Iron-piece cannot know that magnet is,
but it can become a magnet .So it is only possible for the iron-piece
to become a magnet, it is never possible to know what magnet is.In the
same way, it is possible any day to know what is knowledge, what is
knowable, what is to be known.You can know about it .You cannot know
it.But you can become that .This is what is called transformation.It
is possible for jiva to become God.Not other than that .All these
discourses,all these books and explanations-everything are about
it .But they cannot make you that.You can make the preliminatied and
pave the way by reading these books and knowing things.But you have to
become that, by virtue of your own aptitude and effort that there is a
perculiar process,There is only one process for transformation.There
is no secomd process any dy, any where on this earh or ay planet.Those
who have known that method, have given it to their disciples,with much
material to make things understandable.This is coming down as
tradition .This is called the word given by a wellwisher.So religion
differs from religion because much is spoken about the method to
became That.But the actual method, if it is rightly practiced by any
religion,must be the same, not even similar .This one method has been
coming down for all these lakhs of years.Simply that method is as
follows.
