#Ancient Culture ( Samskaram ) of Bharatham-3.7 : Swami Krishnananda

#OPINION : 14/03/2020 : 2089.


#Chapter 3: The Vedas – the Foundation of Indian Culture - 7.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.

#Many of you would not even have dreamt that the Veda contained so many things. You simply know some chanting of a pundit. Some mantra he recites, and this is all the Veda; it is a prayer to some god. 

##This is all you must have learnt in history books, but it is not so. History books will never tell you all these details. Sometimes wrong things are also told because many of the historians are not well equipped with this knowledge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.

#On this is based India’s culture.

 ##How broad-based is India’s culture you can know from this little introduction. 

###But the human mind, being what it is, could not always suddenly accommodate within its capacity all this knowledge. All this is too much for a human brain. The brain will get tired even by hearing the names of these variegated texts and ways of thinking.

####As days pass, history has shown that the human mind becomes more and more diluted in its capacity to comprehend. Our intellectual power gets diminished, as it were, as ages pass. Intuition gives way to pure intellection, scientific observation and experiment. 

*"Direct apprehension, which was the foundation of the Veda mantras, is completely obliterated from the modern mind especially, which is very busy with technology, material science, socialistic living, and all kinds of appurtenances connected with externally oriented life."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#So what is to be done when the mind of the human being is unable to carry on with this integrated knowledge? 

##Emphasis has to be laid on section-wise learning only, as we have today in schools and colleges. Everything cannot be studied in a college. You take up only one or two subjects. As you go further in studies, it becomes only one subject in postgraduate. If a person is specialised in physics, he knows nothing of history. If a person is specialised in history, he knows nothing of other subjects. 

###Compartmentalised specialisation started later on due to paucity of time, shortage of the duration of life of the human being, and difficulty in comprehending many things at the same time – problems and problems, and everywhere difficulties.

#Ancient Culture ( Samskaram ) of India ( Bharatham ) - 6.3 : Swami Krishnananda.

 ====================================================================== ================================================================ 1.#OPINION : Saturday, December 25, 2021. 7:00.AM. 2580. #Chapter 6: Quandaries in the Ramayana and Mahabharata -3. ================================================================= In spiritual practice we move from effect to cause, and not from cause to effect. Lesser involvements are to be taken into consideration first and they have to be handled effectively before the larger involvements are taken care of. It is something like knots in a rope tied up one over the other, wherein the outer knot is attempted to be untied first and the inner knots are removed afterwards because they are at the root and they are the support. In a similar manner in the treatment of illnesses, for instance, we take into consideration the acute form of a disease first and the chronic form afterwards. Likewise is the spiritual encounter in the world. The Ravana-Kumbhakarn
