The Eternal Universal Knowledge of Creation, Sustenance and Re-creation

(The sanskrit words in ved discussion here in are in italics. The sanskrit words are spelled as near as possible to the original sanskrit phonetics. Phonetic based spelling may seem to be different than normal usage but if the sanskrit words are not spelled and pronounced correctly the meanings could change drastically. An alphabet chart of such phonetics spellings is being developed at Prajaapati Vishva Aashram Foundation and will be shared here as soon as it is available. In the meantime think as a vedik Indian and your vedik genetics will let you pronounce the sanskrit words in here correctly.)

WITHOUT "VED"
ONE IS "NAKED"

The world (lok) on this planet earth (pruthvi) that we live presently appears to each human a different world. The world and the planet earth appears different to each human from an individual point and view. Then again the world and the planet appears different when one looks at it from a collective point of view. The collective point of view could be one's family, one's community, one's village, town or city, one's district or province or state, and one's nation and country. Moving into the realm of belief and faith systems called "religion" (expressed commonly as dharma), this world and the planet earth appears again different. Factor all this with the level of evolution of the world one lives in and on the part of the planet earth one lives on. Evolution here means whether one is classified as civilized or uncivilized, educated or uneducated; wealthy or poor, sophisticated or unsophisticated by use of current sciences...... The latest and the most profound of labels of evolution state is whether one is in the first, second or third world classification system of the western minds. And how one is individually and collectively "governed" makes a difference too - democratically or any other than a democratic system.

The above "appear" to be very simple statements. And the truth in these statements appears to be absolute and indisputable.....

But all of the above are "appearances" as can be seen from a very simple test. Take the two words in the above which forms the basis of our thinking process in our mind right now. These words are "world (lok)" and "earth (pruthvi)". No body around us would ever want to say that one does not know the meaning of these two words. And that applies to any language one thinks in. One always says "my world" so often in all talks. One always knows the "this earth " one lives on. But here is what the latest Webster's Third International Dictionary - Unabridged, (that one has trouble lifting) says verbatim, of the meanings of the two words in English language. "In English language" means the mother tongue of the minds who use English as its medium of thought process:

"WORLD" means:

After reading the above one must feel a little shocked and confused. More shock and confusion may result when one finds out that one really does not understand fully the meanings of the words which are in bold and Yellow as they are very much concepts which are essential to our existence (please verify this by a heavy duty dictionary). The feeling will extend to the question: "How come I do not know all these meanings of the two words I practically use every day?"

Now when one considers the implications on not knowing all the meanings of these two words, one starts getting fear welling in oneself. This would lead to feeling really scared. Scared in the sense of imagining such a degree of ignorance in a surgeon who is going to do your heart surgery or a heart transplant. A surgeon who does not fully know the meaning of "heart" and "body". Would one let a surgeon with that level of ignorance do a surgery on oneself.....the answer would be flat NO.

Now take that thinking to oneself and one's life. If one is living one's life with such a level of ignorance as a surgeon then obviously one is facing continually a tough day, week, month, year and lifetime to lifetime. And the "tough life" means life full of set backs, stumblings, falling down, staying down, falling behind, unfulfilled,....and so on. All these life modes convert into life's poverty, backwardness, non-progress, non-evolution, un-cilvizedness, un-sophistcatedness,...... These in turn convert into pain, pain and pain, no hope of happiness, no hope of well-being, no hope of prosperity........

We seem to have gone to schools where we should have learned all the meanings of the words "world" and "earth" and the other words in Yellow colour. But we did not. So what is that made is not learn? OR where we not taught?

Then again we have our parents, elders and so many other peoples in our lives who should have or could have taught us the meanings of these two words and other words in Yellow colour?

The sad part about this situation of ignorance or lack of knowledge we are in is that we continue to practice life regardless. But is a surgeon allowed to practice without certified knowing of the "heart: and "body" ? And if a surgeon is practices without certification then the surgeon will be destroying humans.....and humans are basically the most advanced life creation existing in the universe.

Our creator, brhmah, has left us eternally with a very simple statement: (from brhmaand puraan: 2.3.14.35-38):

"ved is the protective covering for all living beings.
Those people who, out of delusion, discard ved
are called naked or nagna and others....
Those who do not follow dharma are
the people called naked or nagna.."

Most of us would not want to go around naked.....

But we still do in reality.....yes we do.....proof: we do not know the meaning of the word "world" and "earth" or as in case of a surgeon, most of the surgeons even today know only about 10 percent of the "heart" and "body"....

Why is this situation of "ignorance or avidyaa" existing?....Because we are in the time cycle called kali-yug.....in the time cycle called satya-yug every human has full knowledge of his existence...

And still we continue to live life.....how is that possible? ....Because our creator brhmah has automated our bodies adequately....for surviving with four basic instincts given to us by our creator brhmah. These 4 instincts are: eating food, procreating, sleeping and fearing..... but these instincts are the anti-thesis of the evolution of the real "I" in everyone which is one's soul or aatmaa....

If one would look at the words in bold and/or Yellow colour in today's entire knowledge sharing of Webster's Dictionary and the rest which is called ved, one would find that the current state of existence is ignoring knowledge to understand these words....why?.... because....these words cannot be defined by current state of science with measuring and perception by the current knowledge and its instruments....But as both Webster's Dictionary and ved are still alluding to these words, the life concepts of these words do exists with humans....which means one must know them otherwise one will be not be a good surgeon in life....which is turn means pain, pain and pain....shree gautam buddha starts his journey to find the reason of pain in life and how to get rid of the cause of pain and pain itself.....and lived for that purpose and has left knowledge for us which is ved

Just reflecting silently and trying to understand the above thoughts, will incite one to search for more understanding.....and for that only one should feel blessed by one's creator....then let us walk together in search of more understanding.....which is universally labeled as VED.........

We will continue the above dialogue on this page and other pages of this Table of Knowledge..... with looking into why the world appears different to each individual living being.....

As this knowledge sharing is an eternal dialogue between humans, anyone who reads and reflects on the above thoughts is cordially invited to participate in this dialogue through whatever mode suits oneself....questions, answers, addition, expansion, research into unheard of as yet....all for only one purpose:
