AN AMERICAN DISCOVERS THE VEDAS
The Vedas exist at the core of all real seeking to connect with Truth through the great forces of nature and consciousness, whether it is in the form of Native American, ancient Greek, Egyptian, or even modern scientific approaches. In that connecting to the universal Being and its powers lies the Vedas, and there the Vedas must eventually be found. The Vedas are not merely particular books--though the Vedic texts we do have are authentic--but are the very vibrations of the Divine Word, the Primal Sound, the voice of original Reality. 

I don't find that most of the Vedic mantras are hard to understand, though some of them remain obscure to me today. What could be more obvious than the dawn and the sun that rises every day? Yet the dawn and the sun are not mere outer realities, they are outer symbols, intimations of an inner reality of enlightenment and illumination that is our true home. The Vedas are the language of Nature not as outer phenomena but as a poetry of the spirit, which is the real meaning and beauty of creation.
