Spiritualism & Science Part - 2

Rigveda mantra 10/181/1 : 

प्रथश्च यस्य सप्रथश्च नामानुष्टुभस्य हविषो हविर्यत् । 

धातुर्युतानात्सवितुश्च विष्णो रथंतरमा जभारा वसिष्ठः ॥

says that in the beginning of the creation God always originates the knowledge of four Vedas in the heart of four Rishis, then the said four Rishis spread it further and until now the eternal knowledge of Vedas is being received traditionally. 

The names of those four Rishis are— Agni, Vaayu, Aditya, Angira, as also mentioned in Rigveda mantra 10/109/1 and Manusmriti shloka 1/23. 

Rigveda mantra 10/109/1: 

तेऽवदन्प्रथमा ब्रह्मकिल्बिषेऽकूपारः सलिलो मातरिश्वा । 

वीळुहरास्तप उग्रो मयोभुरापो देवीः प्रथमजा ऋतेन ॥

Manusmriti shloka 1/23:

अग्निवायुरविभ्यस्तु त्रयं ब्रह्म सनातनम् ।

दुदोह यज्ञसिद्ध्यर्थं ऋच्।यजुस्।सामलक्षणम् ॥ २३ ॥

This truth is also mentioned in Bhagwad Gita wherein shloka 3/15 says that Vedas are emanated from Almighty God and in shloka 13/4 Shri Krishna says that the knowledge of soul and body is very well mentioned in four Vedas and the Rishis have described the same by many methods. 

Bhagwad Gita shloka 3/15:

कर्म ब्रह्मोद्भवं विद्धि ब्रह्माक्षरसमुद्भवम् |

तस्मात्सर्वगतं ब्रह्म नित्यं यज्ञे प्रतिष्ठितम् ||

Bhagwad Gita shloka 13/4:

ऋषिभिर्बहुधा गीतं छन्दोभिर्विविधै: पृथक् |

ब्रह्मसूत्रपदैश्चैव हेतुमद्भिर्विनिश्चितै: ||

In Atharvaveda mantra 2/35/1&4:  

Atharvaveda mantra 2/35/1:

ये भूक्षय॑न्तो न वसु॑न्यानुधुर्यान्नयों अन्वत॑प्यन्त धिष्ण्यांः। 

या तेषांमव्या दुरिंष्टिः स्विष्टिं नस्तां कुंणवद्विश्वक॑र्मा ॥

Atharvaveda mantra 2/35/4:

धोरा ऋषंयो नौ अस्त्वेभ्यश्चक्षुर्यद॑षां मन॑सश्च सुत्यम्। 

बृहस्पतये महिष द्युमन्नमो विश्वकर्मन्नम॑स्ते पाह्यस्मान् ॥

it is preached that Rishis spread the knowledge of holy Yagya (Yajna) to the people to kill their sorrows and Rishis are those, "MANTRADRISHTA ITI RISHIHI'' i.e., those who have studied Vedas and Ashtang Yog practice and there realised Almighty God and seen Ved mantras in their heart, they are called Rishis. So the knowledge of the Vedas, as per Rigveda mantras quoted above, is given by God Himself.

To the Rishis and it is eternal truth and cannot be changed that is why in 26 Yog shastra sutra, Rishi Patanjali says, 

स एषः पूर्वेषामपि गुरुः कालेनानवच्छेदात् ।। 26 ।।

"SA ESH PURVESAHM API GURUHU'' i.e., so next to God is Rishi. God did not give the knowledge to the present sants. In Vedas, the names of the learned are mentioned as Rishis, Muni, Vipra, Dwij, Agni etc., and not sants. To be next to God it is necessary to have full knowledge of Vedas and Ashtang yoga, as per the rules quoted above. To know what is true and what is false, proof is required. 

Yog shastra in sutra 1/7:

प्रत्यक्षानुमानागमाः प्रमाणानि ॥ १.७ ॥

says about four proofs within which proof of Vedas to determine the truth is compulsory. However, it makes no difference that if a present sant has learnt four Vedas, done Ashtang yoga practice mentioned in Vedas and realised Vedas and God, then he is also next to God. 

If one declares his name Rishi or Brahamchari and does not know Vedas and yoga philosophy, then he is a liar and deceiving the public. Because in the Shanti Parv of Mahabharata also Bhisham Pitamaha says to Yudhisthira that there are two kinds of Braham (though God is one). First, "Shabad Braham '' i.e., knowledge of four Vedas, second "Par Braham" the realisation of formless God who creates, nurses and destroys the universe. 

So he who does not know Braham even Shabad Braham—”Vedas”, how does he write himself as Brahamrishi? 

Naturally he is cheating the public. Because most of the public does not know about Vedas and the arrogant (the saints who are against Vedas) have spread false knowledge about vedas, Yajna and yoga philosophy. 

That is why, Manusmriti 2/168: 

योऽनधीत्य द्विजो वेदमन्यत्र कुरुते श्रमम् ।

स जीवन्नेव शूद्रत्वमाशु गच्छति सान्वयः ॥ १६८ ॥

says that the saint/Guru/Dwij who does not know Vedas but studies false books, he in his present life goes downwards i.e., experiences sorrows, sufferings etc., etc., with his followers, i.e., their followers also go down and experiences the said difficulties etc., but nowadays it is also spread that God takes examination of a worshipper but such types of examinations have not been mentioned in Vedas. 

Ramayan also says about such false saints— 

“VARAN DHARAM NAHIN ASHRAMCHARI, SHRUTI VIRODH RAT SAB NAR NARI.” Tulsi says that at present men and women here are against the eternal knowledge of Vedas. 

Again in Shatpath Brahman Granth 1/7/5/3 it is said that he who studies all knowledge of the same Granth it is mentioned that he who has studied Vedas in full and teaches others, he is Rishi.

It is now a fact that ancient Rishis used to live in a lonely place/jungle in Gurukuls/Ashram where the students used to take Vedas/Yoga knowledge as Shri Krishna, Sudama, Shri Ram and their public used to go. It was the effect of Ved mantras on them and the effect of practising Ashtang yoga philosophy. 

They used to lead a simple way of life without any luxury etc., whereas nowadays the saints (against the Vedas) mostly live in bigger cities where a way of earning is obtained. 

The Rishis used to bless the people according to Ved mantra to be the richest and having all households in the family etc., whereas now the present saints say that money will do nothing, family will do nothing, house will do nothing, cars and clothes will do nothing and they themselves take a lot of money and enjoy luxuries. 

The Rishis were out of illness/tension etc., and Upanishad says about the fact that most of the saints are having multifarious diseases, tension etc. 

The ancient Rishis mostly used to live in Gurukul and used to go to kingdom on invitation (Valmiki Ramayan Bal Kand sarg 7 also refers). But nowadays saints send their disciples door to door to collect money and to arrange maximum gathering/crowd. 

The Rishis like Vyas Muni etc., used to go mostly on foot and alone to anywhere (Mahabharta says) but now the present saints/Gurus go in a fleet of cars/groups with body guards etc., etc.

The Rishis were themselves of simple living without luxury etc., but with their blessings they made people the richest whereas most of the present saints have become the richest with all luxury, gathering money/donation etc., from even poor people and public seems to be poor.

In Brihadaranyaka Upanishad there is a debate, Shashtrarth between Bal Brahamcharini Gargi and Rishi Yagvalkya. This debate was organised by king Janak. The winner of the debate was to be given 500 cows with gold plated on horns. When Rishi Yagvalkya ordered his disciples to take the cows then king Janak interrupted and requested the Rishi that these cows are meant to him who will win the debate with my supreme Acharya Gargi. King asked the Rishi whether he (Rishi) is Brahamrishi Yagvalkya Rishi answered, O! king there was shortage of milk in my Gurukul to my students and that is why I was taking the cows. But if you want to ask something I am ready. There became debate and Rishi won and got cows. This story tells that all Rishis used to ask for donations when they needed whereas present saints, even being multimillionaires, from donation even if they are asking for money.

In Upanishad king Janshruti met with Rishi Rakya in a lonely place sitting on sand under the shadow of Bullock cart. Whereas present saints meet with highly decorated and valuable thrones.

Rishi Jardbhart was sitting alone in a jungle on the earth. When he was asked to carry the palanquin (palki) putting one side on his shoulder. Then he immediately became ready without any pride and walked on foot. Mostly now this cannot be repeated.

There are maximum examples of the ancient Rishis who were Tapsvi, lover of truth and who are adorable. 

What has happened nowadays is that after the Mahabharat war (about 5300 years ago),when our elders did not make contact with ancient rishis then they and following generations have forgotten the truth on three points of Vedas —

1. Karmas in Yajurveda, (hard working towards all worldly matters mentioned above)
2. Worship (upasana ) in Samaveda i.e., Worship of one alive and Almighty God who creates, nurses and destroys the universe and who has unlimited the best qualities which are beyond description, beyond imagination And calculation and are known only by following and doing deeds (hard working, Upasana)
3. Progress in science and worldly affairs, which is called "Gyan (knowledge) mentioned in Rigveda.

Now most of people are after false prophets and the false prophets are spreading poison to say that nothing is to be done except to take God’s name from them (false prophets) and do jaap only and give money to them (false prophets) that is why in India no Shri Ram, no Shri Krishna, no Mata Sita, no Dashrath, no Harishchandra or Gargi (king Janak’s guru) etc., etc., dignitaries are taking birth who serve the people, give justice, and always walk on the path of Vedas. 

No warrior like Bhim, Bhisham, Arjuna, to protect the nation and no businessman of the country equivalent to the ancient times when knowledge of Vedas was in force, who never took unnecessary profit or did hoarding, storing the items of livelihood and selling them when prices become high, are taking birth due to such false worship etc., against the Vedas, atheism has grown up all over the world because our forefathers did not make contact with rishis as stated above who get knowledge of Vedas on the above three points i.e., hard working, spiritualism, science/education together. 

So they only remember the matter which were/are beneficial to live upon and to make our human body healthy like making food, clothes, houses and other science etc,. but they have forgotten about God, soul, prakriti and all other moral duties and thus selfishness took place and hence the atheism. 

So is the case with present science. Science is eternal as mentioned in the eternal philosophy of Vedas but our forefathers have forgotten God and other moral duties and hence there are so many cases of present scientists for the last so many years who are not happy with their life. 

Then what to talk about humanity? So spiritualism must be attached with life and present science then the whole world will be united. 

The matter of science, food etc., beneficial to the body only, are visible whereas the matter of soul in God being spiritual and mentioned in Vedas can not be seen with the eyes but are realised. 

Nobody thinks about who has made the mind of a scientist which is being used by him. Who has made the mind of all, can any scientist make mind, sun, moon, air or even a single leaf of any tree. 

So science and scientists are respectable in Vedas but not those who have forgotten investigation of soul and God.

Now we stop here, Vedas’ views being lengthy, unlimited and the matter is eternal and everlasting.
