When the lamp is lit, darkness is dispelled. reading Vedas,sinful intellect is destroyed. When the spiritual wisdom of Vedas appears, ignorance is destroyed. (Shri Guru Grantha Sahib And 791)
Rig Veda tells us that purpose of Human Birth is to assist God in the maintenance of Thy Grand wondrous Design.
To assist God in the maintenance of Grand wondrous Design of Brahmand, Eternal Laws of God (Rtam) as Divine Guidance were revealed at Zero Hour. These Laws are inviolable, immutable and Eternal (Rig Veda)
Rtam, Satyam, Dharmmam”– Cosmic Laws (Rta) are eternal truths (Satyam) and following these Laws of Nature is Vedic Dharma
“Rtam, Satyam, Vijnani” knowing and finding out these Laws of Nature (Rta) is Knowledge.
Dear Seekers of Vedic Knowledge,
Subject: Brief description of Vedic Rta- Cosmic Laws of Necessity
In about 17,000 mantars/riks/hymns four Vedas contain a very large number of subjects relating to material(pertaining to perishable), spiritual (relating to withdraw able) and divine (relating to eternal) subjects. Cosmic Laws of Necessity (Rta) contained in the Book of Nature which even blind persons and all animate life on earth, water, firmament can read, is a major subject of Vedas.
For the cosmic laws the terms used in the Vedas are Rta, Ritane and Vratani. Yajur Veda 6-4 ordains “O, man study God’s works of creation, preservation and dissolution whereby He determines His laws. Atharva Veda 4-1-3 tells us that from the bosom of the sacred cosmic word OM, He brought forth the world- on high, below where He abides in His own Laws.
According to Yajur Veda 26-1, we get true knowledge of these cosmic laws from seven forces of the Nature viz.; the Sun, Moon, firmament, waters, clouds, fire and the earth, which are all beneficial to the mankind and make our paths pleasant and comfortable. Taittrya Upanishad 1-2 says, if religion is dharma (righteousness), it is then Rta.
The great importance given to Rta in the Vedas can be appreciated from the description of these laws in Rig Veda 1-75- 5 where it says, ” ritam. satyam vijnani “, which would literally mean “absolute truth which is Rta, is the only true knowledge.”
Rig Veda 1-24-15 clearly says that by following these laws, you remain away from misery and get bliss. There is also a prayer in Rig Veda 1-25-1,” O, merciful God, be kind to us as we violate your laws, knowingly and unknowingly day after day.” Obviously this simple prayer is a reminder to the men and women to start knowing, understanding and following these laws for their own interest as well as for the interest of the entire mankind and other animate life. By following these laws one can understand the Purpose of Human Birth which Vedas tell us is “to assist the Viswakarma (Supreme Architect) in the maintenance of His Grand wondrous Design.
These holy laws are inviolable, immutable and eternal (R.V.1-12-7 and 1-24-10). If at any stage the concept of righteousness deviates even slightly from the divine laws conveyed to us through the divine Nature Prakrti as Rta, that is no longer Dharma.
Rig-Veda 1- 22-8 decrees that all things in this world, middle region and heaven follow eternal laws ordained by Him. Yajur Veda 24-42 further tells us that all pathways HE guides with Rta which are also moral laws. Aittrya Upanishad 4-1 and Taittrya Upanishad 1-2 reiterate this divine truth.
Each Vedic Rta is complete in itself and no further evolution in these laws is possible. These are for once and ever. If any Rta is different for different periods of history, area or country, it is not Rta. These laws of God and for some as laws of Nature are applicable universally and for all periods to come in the future as well. Tampering and transgressing these laws is misery and death (Y.V. 25-13 and A.V 3-30-4).
Those opposed to Rta and Satya produce for themselves deep abyss of sufferings (R.V.1-5-20, 4-5-5, 5-51-2). By ignoring the two Vedic concepts i.e. Rta and Iddm Nan Mmam (Vedic enlightened liberalism) the individuals can precipitate cosmic and social disorder. Those opposed to Rta and Satya produce for themselves deep abyss of sufferings (R.V.1-5-20, 4-5-5, 5-51-2).
Those who are seekers of Vedic knowledge can find more details and a large number of Vedic Rta in Chapter 2 of the Book on the Internet for on line reading and even taking print at no cost. Website ishttp://www.sabhlokcity.com/metaphysics/
Kindly render divine noble duty and forward it to those who are seekers of Vedic knowledge.
With kind regards,
Prem Sabhlok
P.S
The moral law of moderation or golden mean also is derived from the flow of river i.e. containing one self within limits by avoidance of all kinds of excesses- both affluence and deficiency by following middle path within certain tolerance limits. The river is useful so long as it remains within two banks and also continues to flow.
Moha i.e. attachment/infatuation to children is cause of trouble. The children have their own souls, karma and thoughts. Vedas refer to children as God’s children. Their parents are only the custodians and trustees of the children on behalf of God. It is parent’s duty to impart them good education, Vedic Vidya which should cover divine, spiritual and material knowledge. Sankracharya describes Vedic education as para and apara jnan– both higher and lower
As you sow so shall you reap is also Vedic Rta– cause of rebirth of human beings.
In view of its social, ethical and divine implications the concept of transmigration of soul and rebirth is described as MULTIFORM. It aims at universal Brotherhood and Friendship. It teaches spread love and not hatred, enlightened liberalism and not naked selfishness based on Iddam Na Mmam-nothing for self all for society. This rebirth is not only due to Karma, but also those individuals who owe any kind of debt to society, parents, children, friends and others are also born again and again to discharge their debts (A.V.6-117-2). Holy Bible also advises do not resort to debts, temptations and evils.” Pray for leading us not to temptations, evils and forgive us for all our debts.”(Mathew Gospel 6-2, 10-17). Human beings should always keep it mind that Kingdom of God is within you and also it is without you (gospel according to Thomas Log-3).
