TRUE CONTENT OF THE VEDAS
The importance of the true content of the Vedas can be understood from the fact that even Mahatma Buddha, who is erroneously considered to be an atheist or opposed to the Vedas, has stated in Sutta Nipata, 292:
He who attains true knowledge of Dharma or righteousness through the Vedas, attains a steady position. He does not waver.
This shows that the content of the Vedas was as much regarded by Buddha as by Krishna. It is unfortunate indeed, that some commentators of Gita have even gone on to say that Krishna was against Vedic teachings. How can this be possible? How can the revealed text from God and the Avatar of God be on different paths? We are extremely sorry to say but the fact is that Hindus, who were known to be the most wise and intelligent people during a period of time in history, have ceased to apply their mind in religious matters. They have ceased to question, to seek the logic, and to explore, and accept whatever the so-called learned people thrust at them, even if they find it hard to digest. Our sincere attempt, all through is to invite you to apply your reason and intellect, something that Krishna too wants you to do, all through in Gita.
Now we are close to revealing the true content of the Vedas. But before we do so, we would like you to keep this BOOK aside for a while and ponder that if God was to directly give you some knowledge, what it would be. We are sure that all those in sincere pursuit of spirituality and the consequent salvation would agree that God cannot be expected to teach us mundane things that have little significance in our spiritual life. It is this reason that we discounted RDS’s commentary the moment we saw it talking of steam engines, airplanes, ingredients for sacrifice and similar other subjects.
Rather than this, God’s books have to light the true path that leads us to God. There are already so many misleading paths in front of us, and amidst this confusing haze, it is surely difficult to trace the true path that would lead man to God. Therefore, knowledge imparted by God or His representatives must surely talk about the shortest path to reach Him, which has got blurred with time due to deviations and man’s nature to mould the shown path as per his own whims and likings.
However, we have seen that several books written by humans are so complex that they cannot be understood without a teacher or a guide. What if we are unable to understand God’s book, or confusion arise as regard to their understanding and interpretation. Who will be the teacher in such a case? Who will be the guide? Are we to consider ordinary human beings or apparently pious sages as our guides, when we all know that each of us is governed by material senses and modalities of nature and, therefore, each one of us is fallible? Surely, the guides to God’s teachings must be those who are identified by God Himself. They should be ones who are not fallible, who show us the true path always and show how to lead that path in practicality.
Such divine beings should take birth as humans, live as humans and die as humans, so that none of us can say that God’s path cannot be treaded. In their lives as humans, if they show certain superhuman characteristics, it should be either as sign to indicate their position in relation to God or because of their perfect knowledge of all sciences and spirituality. It is to them that we should look at during our hour of crisis and find solutions to our problems only through making an access to them. These are men who are identified by God as Devatas in the Vedas so that we recognize them when they come to show us the way in future.
You might say, what was the need of identifying them in the beginning? Why didn’t’ they took birth on earth right at the beginning? Answer is that the man of earlier times was not prepared to accept them, because of his inferior mental capabilities. Mere mention of them in the Vedas astounded them so much so that they assigned divinity to them. What if the Devatas were physically present in front of them? Moreover, if they had come at the time when Vedas were revealed, there was a greater chance that modern man would have discounted the incidents of their life as myths of pre-historic men. They came during an age when the language and particularly the art of writing had developed and man was somewhat prepared to receive them. Also Arabia was chosen for them as the place for various reasons. First, it was located at the centre of all major civilizations. Secondly, in spite of all the evils that they carried, Arabs had a language that was far more developed than all the languages of the time. More importantly, Arabs had an elaborate method of narrating incidents and even mentioned the chain of narrators. This ensured that it was always possible to know the authenticity of narrations.
Yes, Devatas are those who are being identified by the Vedas. They are the saviours. They are described as rulers of our organs of action and senses. It is they who pervade inside our atma. They were going to be those who would be the real guides, when they were to come in human bodies to live in this world. It is they who would conclude the God’s teachings and show us the right path and also how to tread on it.
We have shown to you that the devatma-sakti, comprised of 7 Noorani Rooh (Light Spirits), that were created out of division of the Noorani Rooh of Brahma created by the Manifest Self. Zulmat got created as the contradictory or opposing power. Christian sources too are of opinion that 7 spirits were sent to the earth at the beginning of the creation. The Noor and the Zulmat both have been created to act over man, who has been given a brain to distinguish between right and wrong. The 7 Light Spirits used pious bodies in various regions and ages, and from their mouth, in the language of the people among whom they were living, the divine message was imparted. This had been happening in all ages and times, but Zulmat corrupted the message and people returned to leading lives of folly and sins. Various ages passed and Kaliyuga came when only those people remained on earth whose spirit had been unable to attain salvation. All those who used their mind in finding the path and obediently abided gained salvation and were no more present on this earth. Only those people remained whose spirit was afflicted with one or the other disease, owing to which they either didn’t apply their mind to comprehend the path or couldn’t tread on it to perfection. For such people, and prior to bringing this life to an end, all the 7 Noorani Roohs descended in 14 bodies in one region and among people who spoke one language, right in the middle of all existing civilizations. Vedas, you will find, are trying to identify these people when they would descend as avatars.
How would we identify them when they come to live in this earth? This is exactly what the Vedas are doing. Vedas are identifying them by telling us the incidents that would happen in their lives. They were introduced as our saviours and Vedas are an attempt to help us in identifying them, when and where they would take birth as humans.
We knew that it is beyond God’s Nature to talk about mere historical characters or about material things like steam engines, airplanes, etc. To come to the conclusion ourselves, we tried to do a fresh translation of few select verses of Vedas that were chosen randomly. And we came to such startling conclusions that at first we ourselves couldn’t believe what we had found.
As we proceed, you will find our conclusion perfectly fitting not only with the entire Vedic literature, but also confirming to the Upanishads and Gita and also with other revealed books like the Old Testament and the Quran. But you must be prepared to make certain compromises with your existing beliefs, as we will conclude that not only the present day Hindus, but the Muslims, the Christians and the Jews – all have digressed from one and only true path. The source of all of them is one, all of them are following certain religion but none is following God’s path. Muslims too are far deviated from the true path and not one of their sects today is strictly practicing the religion that was intended by God. God’s religion or the true path to God is far different from all that the Muslims, the Hindus, the Christians, the Jews, and the others are practicing in the name of God.
This will become clearer when you proceed further. If you are receptive to reason, you will find that all of us were in dark. Not only the Vedas, but the ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese and Greek literature, all tried to identify the Devatas but we didn’t understood. In fact, we understood and then got deviated. Everything, the good and the bad, had been written in the scriptures.
As Quran says:
No misfortune strikes the earth nor your selves unless it has been written in a book before We bring it into existence; that it is easy for God
(Quran: 17. 22)
