Meaning:
Vedas are known as the store of knowledge. There is all things of the universe.
In this section of spiritual as stated in the Rig Veda 1/164/37 is that
-"What a great mistake it is that man does not know his own self? He should
obtain the knowledge about the 'jeevatma' (the soul within the body) with the
help of the capability of language, literature etc".
Message:
We are not going to get this human body again and again. We have obtained it
only as an instrument through which we can achieve the ultimate objective of
reaching God. But we are losing this good opportunity because of ignorance and
wandering in worldly pleasure. Money, wealth, material means, wife, son,
brothers, friends, relatives - ultimately none of these will be useful. Only
our good deeds will be of use to us. We are forgetting that one day we have to
go away by leaving this world. The body for whose indulgence and pampering, we
take the help of truth-untruth, deceit, malice, intrigue, morality-immorality
etc, and because of ignorance, we carry our sinful acts also _ the same body
will one day be turned to ashes or dust. This body can die at any moment. Our
whole knowledge of science, talents, education and learning is suffocating for
earning a living and developing our capacity for the same. But we have
forgotten the spirit or the soul, residing within the body, which is the ruler
of the body. This soul is itself a part of God, but by not knowing it; we have
been constantly suffering from sorrow by wandering for ever in darkness.
This
human life of ours will be meaningful only when we obtain the real intelligence
of walking on the truthful moral path after knowing the soul.
Ordinarily
there are two types of intelligence. One is 'kubuddhi' (bad or corruption
intelligence) which takes us on the path of sinful acts because of selfishness,
attachment, greed etc. The other is 'subuddhi' (or good intelligence) which
inspires us to work for our benefit and also saves us from evil deeds. Higher
than this is Medha which gives us the capacity to differentiate between
sat-karya (truthful act) and asatkarya (untruthful act). Pragya is at a higher
level than Medha and constantly inspires us to do acts for public interest
according to our discretion. Pragya-buddhi completely destroys tamogun and man
goes on being liberated from selfishness. Beyond pragya is Pratibha or 'atmic drushti' (i.e. insight of the
soul). With this extraordinary power of intelligence man is able to know the
deepest secrets of the world. The most excellent form of 'buddhi' or
intelligence is called rutambhara buddhi. It contains only the sattogun. This
rutambhara buddhi or saatvik buddhi develops the capacity of identifying the
truth and putting into conduct 'sat dharma' (i.e. truthful moral conduct). With
the light of that knowledge, everything can be understood with complete clarity
in its true form and one is liberated from doubts and false or illusory
beliefs.
To-day
man is making use of various types of knowledge, science, languages etc in
various fields. He is creating mountains of gadgets and other means for comfort
and happiness. It has been possible to create a situation today whereby with
merely a touch of a button the desired work can be done. Because of this great
achievement, man is committing the foolishness of believing himself greater
than God. But have we received this human body only for this? Is this the only
use of this intelligence? Is this the only objective of life?
We
should go on developing our intelligence and recognize the real objective of
human life and March ahead towards its.
