Vedic Hymns on Creation Part - 6

" I now realise the presence of the almighty Lord, the universal entitym the one who is self-illuminated and radiant like the sun,
He is beyond all darkness; with this realisation, now I fear not even death.
I proclaim, this is the path, the only path to salvation, to the goal of life, the eternal bliss." (Yaju 31.18)

Personal commentary:
One of my favourite quotes from Albert Einstein goes as below:
"Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity."



Coming to the hymn from the vedas, I seek to know the goal of the life. What is the perfect equation for an eternally blissful life? It is known that there is no known eternity for us the poor human beings and there is no such thing known as eternally blissful life. Rich people fear about losing what they have and the poor people fear about also the same. Here the Einstein's thoery of relativity applies very well.


If we look at the politics, politicians need something to survive as they have not defined any equation of balance. They are also dependent on the thoery of relativity. They want to publish who is relatively more corrupt than others in all respects to win votes. Once they win those votes, the equation changes again and it's now the turn of the other losing opposition. The politicians need some thing for the survival of the day, which means present. They will never ever have a future vision, forget about thinking about eternity. Make a quick buck now relative to others. It may as well mean stoking hatred amongst the general public in the name of their worst weakness: Religion. And the salvation of these poor people in the name of the religion is death, but for politicians, it's an opportunity for survival for the day and a way earn immoral money. Fortunatey, they have a fixed time frame to realize the opportunity. For the poor subjects, their life expectancy is the only unknown time frame and hence they are always asked to be optimistic about the future with a hope that "life" will be better tomorrow.
