The
mystery of this universe is unfathomable through rational analysis. Human
intellect is ever enervated in extricating the enigma enveloping the egression of
life. However, cognition on the origin of life and its consociated conundrum
has always been available amidst humans in the form of the Veda. The crowning annunciation of the Veda is Adwaitham – the
singularity of the Aathma that permeates every animate and inanimate entity of
the universe.
The practical application of the
Veda is the focus of the Dharmasastras. The cognitive content of the
Dharmasastras is to curtail the skiving temperament of the mind towards sensual
pursuits. The result is the attainment of psychological steadiness termed
moderation. Attaining moderation in attitude, articulation and action is the
vital link that connects the known materialistic worldly experience called
Dwaitham and the unknown ultimate termed Adwaitham; the eternal substratum.
The ability to reason is the prime
factor of differentiation that hails the supremacy of humans over any other
life form. However, it is the sole thriving medium for the perplexity in
antagonistic recalcitration between the theists and atheists. Hence the
evidence that substantiates the colossal maltreatment to a vital calibre of
humans. The progress of developments in scientific research has opened the
doors to cogent evidence that manifests the sensibility inherent in religious
activities, effectively minimising the prevailing conflict.
For instance, when people with
scientific temper considered the universe a flat plate; Maharishis have always professed
that the creator of this universe is termed "Brahma"; and the product
created by him is "Brahmaand" indicating that the universe is
elliptical, like an egg. Also, when scientific episteme considered that it was
the Sun that revolves the Earth, the postulate of Maharishis the "Gaurava
– Laagava Nyaaya" envisions Sun and Earth in the Guru – Shishya
relationship; hence it is the latter that revolves around the former.
Such significations sensibilise that
the abilities acquired by humans through reasoning and rational reductionism must
be exercised and enforced with respect and regard to the Veda. Factually, the Veda
transcends every religion. The popular belief of Sanskrit being the language of
the Veda is erroneous. The Veda is a collection of sound in a systematic format
called "Chandas". Chandas is a terminology that indicates a
measurement of sound – Metre. Chandas is the source of the language – Sanskrit.
It hence can be extrapolated that
sound is the educated emanation of the entire existence. Decrypting the sound
in its own course towards source point is the purpose of the Veda. Dharmasastras
aim to qualify the human body, mind and intellect to effectively handle the
Veda. The idea of containing the Veda as belonging to a specific religious
belief is incorrect and neritic. For instance, the practice of circumambulating
deity in temples is a conscious replication of human's significant subconscious
activity.
Every entity on this planet irrespective
of religion and/or level of cognition, circumambulates the Sun subliminally. Even
the calculation of one's age, whether theist or atheist; is a mere count of such
circumambulations! The essence of the Rig Veda can be inferred as hailing the
supremacy of "Agni"; as, the beginning and conclusion of Rig Veda
refers to "Agni". The gross visible "Agni" is the ball of
fire – the Sun! The wisdom on the impermanency of materialism is the subtle
"Agni" that cauterises desire in one's mind.
The religious practice of
"Aathmapradhakshinam" performed during the conclusion of worshipping
any deity is the facsimile of the axial gyration of the planet Earth that we
have inhabited; hence a subconscious act of every human! The practice of Sarvaangapradhakshinam
in temples, is a conscious combination depicting the rotation and revolution of
the planet Earth around an influencing object – the Sun. The concept of destiny
that nullifies every human effort evidences the fact that the rotation and
revolution of planet Earth is executed and sustained by the gravitational pull
of the Sun!
Limiting the Veda as belonging to a
specific religion and the denouncement of an ultimate source termed 'God' is an
act of infantilism. The intellectual development of humans is a contrivance that
must adhere to appropriate methods of implementation to remain welcome and
utile. The Dharmasastras describe an omnium-gatherum of life forms associated
with the divine; however, the status of explicit divinity is accorded to two
specific beings – the cow and the elephant. Scientific and rational analysis of
the beings – cow and elephant with regard to the Veda and the Dharmasastras
indicate their supreme qualities that must be imbibed and utilised for human
welfare in an apposite manner.
The versatility of the elephant to
lift huge objects as well as miniscule stuff marks its uniqueness. Being a
vegetarian, devouring discarded dry twigs; despite its somatic strength and retentive
abilities, the disposition of the elephant to remain convivial, authenticates
its divinity. The excreta of every living being emanates foul odour, except the
cow dung. The antiseptic properties of ash obtained from dung is proven. The
smoke that emanates out of incinerating cow dung along with ghee has the
ability to circumvent the harmful radioactive emissions; larger the benefit
when accompanied by Chandas.
Owing to its nativity and indigenous
availability, the gaseous fuel obtained from bovine dung is an excellent
replacement to the imported petroleum based energy. The milk obtained from purebred
native cows of India termed A2 milk, finds similarity to human milk; hence
nutritious; unlike the yield of hybrid cows. It is reported that the compost
manure prepared from the dung provided by a single bovine animal is sufficient
to nourish at least quartette acre of dry land. The demand for providing such a
utility is the stubble that is otherwise discarded waste.
The dung and urine of cow are
integral elements assisting the process of ayurvedic preparations. Economically,
the amount of dung obtained from one bovine upon desiccation is fuel equivalent
of wood from sextuplet hulky trees. Hence the proper focus of utilising dung is
in preserving the green cover of the Earth. Butchering the bovine for its flesh
and skin; than utilising the dung provided aplenty 'womb-to-tomb' that
preserves forest; is an anserine act.
It is an age old practice of
cleaning utensils with the eco-friendly ash of cow dung than the high-priced synthetic
detergents. India has always remained and identified as a source of
spirituality to the entire world. The essence of spirituality is humility that
bestows the ability to live in peace and harmony with every living being. The
technological developments in India must adhere to the utilisation of its
natural resources in a sensible manner amicable to every other live entity.
Managing Balance of Payments, and
aiming surplus in exports; lacking focus and efforts to sustain the spiritual spine
of India would effectually exterminate the soul of the world. Concisely, the
issue is neither the call of a single religion and its followers; nor
addressing the demand for a specific product in the world market aiming the
nation's economic prosperity; rather validating the sensitivity of humans in
their abilities to ratify decisions and activities that vouches sensible
derivation of value and utilities, which in course furthers amity among every
living being – not just humans.
Unless
and until the value of value is valued; sensible and sustained progress is
inconceivable!
