the vedic guides to dharma and god

maadhav · July 18, 2004

as you are born, the first guide is your mother, then father.

if they fail to guide you,

then there are gurus/teachers.

if they fail, then there are sadhus and saints.

if you could not get guidance from them,

then there are vedic scriptures like gita.

if you cannot get any guidance from such literature,

it is too bad, you are on your own.

live your life according to your own choices and

enjoy or suffer, and learn from it.

that is the logest and hardest way to know dharma and god.

--no one has to fail.. we have to seek guidance from everyone of these guides. Gurus are saints and gurus are the one who interprete the scriptures according time, place and circumstance. if we have no guru we cannot understand scriptures and vice-versa

f you cannot get any guidance from such literature,

it is too bad, you are on your own.

live your life according to your own choices and

enjoy or suffer, and learn from it.

--no one can learn transcendence by himself.. transcendence cannot be mixed with maya.. so if we were able to find transcendence by ourselves we were transcendental without making any effort.

The fact that we are in maya shows that we have to seek transcendence surrendering to guru, shastra, sadhus.. otherwise no learning, even from suffering.

krsna cannot be captured.. only he can give himself to us
