The Rig Veda
for me is the doorway to the mind of the rishis, to the cosmic mind itself, the very heart
of creation. The Vedic vision is a universal mantric knowledge that integrates all aspects
of human knowledge including yoga, philosophy, poetry, psychology, mythology and ritual.
The Vedas are like an ongoing explosion of insights, with every sort of color and form,
merging ultimately into a pure lightning illumination that has no end.
For me the Vedas are a living teaching and the Vedic rishis are living teachers. There is
no gap of time or culture between those of us who live today and the Vedas of many
thousands of years past. The Vedas transcend time. Nor do I see the Vedas as merely Indian
or Hindu, they are the heritage of the greater spiritual humanity from which we have
fallen and to which we must return. The Vedas are part of each one of us by the very fact
that we are human beings. The Vedas are part of us or, to be more accurate, we are part of
the Vedas. They are the very fabric of the cosmic intelligence that works inside us and in
all the universe upholding the great beauty and harmony of life. |
