Ved as, Shrut i, Words, World

Vedas do not mean a set of holy books. The word Veda is from
the word 'Vid' which means to 'know'. We are conscious , living,
because we are always in the process of ''knowing''. Whatever
we know is a form of our 'knowledge'. This world is created
from ''Knowledge'' or ''Consciousness''.

This world, every entity is the 'knowledge'' or 'feeling'' of the

Creator. In our mind if we imagine a flower, it is made of my
mind or of ''me''. Similarly, in the external world, everything is
created in the Universal ''mind''. In our mind, every idea is
associated with a word or definition. Words in us are the forms
of our mind, shapes of the mind. Similarly, this revealed world
is the ''words'' of the Creator!. This is why, many ancient
religions have said that the creation is from the ''words of
God'', or that "at first there were only words".

Everything is first created in the "mental sphere" and physical

formation is an effect of "mental creation"

Vedas are also called ''Shruti'''. Shruti means listening. Every

expression of thought in you is a word, the formation of your
thought is a word. Whatever you speak or whatever formation
your thought takes, you know it, you listen to it. This is "Shruti"
or listening. In every creation always there are two things, "to
become" / "to create" and "to know what is
created". Whenever Consciousness splits Her/Himself or
creates, ''there is a formation" and there is a " knowing of what
is formed". This is why , we always find two fundamental space
or dimensions, "inside"(where we are knowing" and " outside"
where we have got expressed. You are knowing your self as a "
person so and so......". Universal consciousness, the Creator is
knowing in you as "yourself" and this is "you". This is not only
"you" of today, in this knowing of Creator, "you" of eternity is
existing.

This is how Consciousness has become every being. This is

why Vedas have called HER/HIM, "Y(J)ataveda". Y(J)ata means
to be ''born'', "Veda", means ''to know". In Consciousness, 'to
know' is same as 'to become'. This is how the "thoughts" of the
Creator takes the form of universe.

As you read this Book of World, the open pages of the Vedas,
as you listen more correctly the words by which the world is
made of, you can listen the words of the God, the Eternal
words, by which everything is created and held.

To listen means to feel, and you feel in your

consciousness. Whatever you feel inside, you actually becomes
that in your inside, in your consciousness. This is why your
future life, your future, your every thing depends on how you
feel. Your every work is associated with feeling. when you say
"work' or "Karma", its not just the external work, its the feeling
with which you are working or active.

Every creature, inert or animated is made out of the feelings of

the Creator. If we look at us, we realize that we live in an ocean
of feelings! We are always happy or sad, gleeful or afraid. We
are always, seeing, hearing, ..... When we see a flower, we
describe our own feelings which we term as a flower. We feel it
inside ourselves. When we smell it, the fragrance is inside us.
This inside is our inner world, the micro and for every one it is
unique. As we will learn what is inside, we will also learn what
is outside. We can start from outside, as the present civilization
has taught us but such start does not lead us far, because our
own reference is our inside!

The three aspects of Vedan, feelings, behind the creation are

Reek, Y(J)aju and Saam. This world is Reek, expression of mind,
made of words of the creator(Mantra), the word gets joined to
you, the world gets joined to you, through your sensory
organs(Indriyas). This is Y(J)aju.

The tree which is outside, created in the divine mind, is Reek. It

comes flowing to you, through your sensory channels organs,
joins you, this is Yaju or Jaju. As this feeling gets assimilated in
you, you really feel it, you may say, ''what a great tree''. This is
"Saam''. In your inside, in the realm of feeling, whatever you
feel, you become that, you become "same" as that you feel,
this is ''Saam''. This is how in every moment you are being
built by the waves of Vedas, by Reek, Y(J)aju and Saam. From
the divine One's,absolute One's feelings, feelings are coming to
you, and you are thus living in the world. Like the incessant
trains of waves breaking down on the shore day and night
relentlessly so are waves of the Universal Consciousness are
breaking down in you all the while. Your every action, every
moment is thus connected to Universal Consciousness. As a
river appears to be a sheet of still water but actually it consists
of several under currents, so also you. You are extremely
dynamic and ever changing in your inside.
