| AN AMERICAN DISCOVERS THE VEDAS |

|
| For example,
when I received my first copies the Vedas in Sanskrit it was not something ancient or
foreign that I saw but an old friend and companion. Nor do I approach the Vedas from
an academic or even personal perspective. To approach the Vedas I first put my mind into a
silent state and let the teaching unfold itself without the interference of my own
thoughts. This is not done through mental effort,
though there is the effort of concentration. It is like opening an irrigation channel to a
great river and letting the water come in. It occurs through turning the mind
within. The great beauty of the Hindu religion is that the impressions it creates
within us remain with us life. It is not a religion limited to one life only, and its
benefit carries through all of out lives to the final liberation of the soul. In this
regard the impressions of the Vedas can be found in each one of us, if we know how to look
deeply for them. |
