Vedas teachings

Vedas teachings are for the entire mankind .
Don’t be a vulture to snatch the others hard earned money , this controlled by the Lord must be This All—each thing thatmoves on earth.With that renounced enjoy thyself. Covet no wealth ofany man. One, only doing defined duty here, should wish to live a hundredyears.No way is there for thee but this. So be disciplined clear hearted and honest .Surrounded by ignorance those belonging to the devils worlds enwrapt in blinding gloom.To them, when life on earth is done, depart to hell of devils whokill the Self in darkness of deceit .
Motionless, one, swifter than Mind—the Demigods fail toovertake it speeding on before them.It, standing still, outstrips the others running. Herein Bothair and water establish Action with his help.The almighty moveth; it is motionless. It is far distant; it is near.It is within This All; and it surrounds This All externally. The man who in his Self beholds all creatures and all thingsthat be,And in all beings sees his Self, thence doubts no longer,ponders not. When, in the man who clearly knows, Self hath become allthings that are,
What wilderment, what grief is there in him who sees theOne alone? He hath attained unto the Bright, Bodiless, Woundless,Sinewless, the Pure which evil hath not pierced.Far-sighted, wise, encompassing, he self-existent hathprescribed aims, as propriety demands, unto theeverlasting Years. Deep into shade of blinding gloom fall who believe in destructionworshippers.They sink to darkness deeper yet who on crowding areintent One fruit, they say, from grouping, another from ungrouping.Thus from the sages have we heard who have declared thislore to us. The man who knows construction and destruction simultaneously,He, by passing death, gains by endless life.
To blinding darkness go the men who make a cult ofNescience.The devotees of Science enter darkness that is darker still. Different is the fruit, they say, of Science and of Nescience.Thus from the sages have we heard who have declared thislore to us. The man who knoweth well these two, Science and Nescience,combined,O’ercoming death by Nescience by Science gaineth endlesslife. My breath reach everlasting Air! In ashes let my body end. Mind, remember thou; remember thou my sphere;remember thou my deeds.
By goodly path lead us to riches, Agni, thou God whoknowest all our works and wisdom.Remove the sin that makes us stray and wander: mostample adoration will we bring thee. The Real's face is hidden by a vessel formed of golden light.The Spirit yonder in the Sun, the Spirit dwelling there am I. Heaven!

1. How shall we give with one accord oblation to Agni, the fire, the Bounteous?Great light, with full high growth hath he uplifted, and, as a pillar bears the roof, sustains it.2 Reproach not him who, God and self-reliant, vouchsafed this bounty unto me a mortal,—Deathless, discerner, wise, to me the simple, fire in the creatures, most manly, youthful Agni.3 Like youthful women without brothers, straying, like dames who hate their lords, of evil conduct,They who are full of sin, untrue, unfaithful, they have engendered this abysmal station.4 To me, weak, innocent, thou, luminous Agni, hast boldly given as were a heavy burthen,This hymn, profound and strong and mighty, of seven elements, and with offered dainties.5 So may our song that purifies, through wisdom reach in a moment him the Universal,Established on the height, on earth's best station, above the beauteous grassy skin of earth.6 With reverence I declare the Law, O Agni; what is, comes by your order.Of this, whatever it be, thou art the Sovran, yea, all the wealth that is in earth orheaven.7 What is our wealth there from , and what our treasure? Tell us O rishis protector fire, for thouknowest,What is our best course in this secret passage: we dont want to return ,we have reached a place far distant.8 What is the limit, what the rules, the guerdon? Like fleet-foot coursers speed we to the contest.When will the Goddesses, the Immortal's Spouses, the Dawns, spread over us the Sun-God's splendour?9 Unsatisfied, with speech devoid of spirit, scanty and frivolous and inconclusive,Wherefore do they address thee here, O Agni? Let these who have no weapons suffer sorrow.10 The majesty of him the Good, the Mighty, aflame, hath shone for glory in the dwelling.He, clothed in light, hath shone most fair to look on, wealthy in boons, as a home shines with riches.

Arya Lakshamana-the great Hindu seer

This planet is equally one for all , animal and human being . The difference is of the transition from prakritk or natural to social .Gita says.. Rajasi pralayam gatwaa karmasangishu jaayate;
Tathaa praleenastamasi moodhayonishu jaayate.gita 15/14
Meeting death in Rajas [ not harming others ] , he is born among those who are attached to action; and dying in
Tamas [ harming others ] , he is born in the womb of the animals. Many scriptures teach but Vedas are the authentic and oldest in Hinduism .They teach to take care of oneself but with the full attention not to harm the other . richo akshare parame vyoman yasmin deva adhi visve niseduh
yastan na veda kim richa karisyati ya it tad vidusta ime samasate 39/164/mndlm 1 rig.. Upon what syllable of holy praise-song, as twere their highest heaven, the Gods repose them,—
Who knows not this, what will he do with praise-song? But they who know it well sit here assembled. Goswamiji tulasidas has narrated the best character in form of lord Lakshamanaji in Ramcharitmanas . He says in one place …bole lakhana madhura mridu bani, gyana biraga bhagati rasa sani.
kahu na kou sukha dukha kara data, nija krata karama bhoga sabu bhrata.
joga biyoga bhoga bhala manda, hita anahita madhyama bhrama phanda.
janamu maranu jaha lagi jaga jalµu, sampati bipati karamu aru kalµu.


dharani dhamu dhanu pura parivarµu, saragu naraku jaha lagi byavaharµu.
dekhia sunia gunia mana mahi, moha mµula paramarathu nahi. sapane hoi bhikhari nrapu ranku nakapati hoi,
jagen labhu na hani kachhu timi prapancha jiya joi. asa bichari nahi kijia rosµu, kahuhi badi na deia dosµu.
moha nisha sabu sovanihara, dekhia sapana aneka prakara.
ehi jaga jamini jagahi jogi, paramarathi prapancha biyogi.
jania tabahi jivva jaga jaga, jaba saba bishaya bilasa biraga.
hoi bibeku moha bhrama bhaga, taba raghunatha charana anuraga.
sakha parama paramarathu ehµu, mana krama bachana rama pada nehµu. Lakshmana spoke to him sweet and gentle words imbued
with the nectar of wisdom, dispassion and devotion: .No one is a source of delight or pain
to another; everyone reaps the fruit of one.s own actions, brother. Union and separation,
pleasurable and painful experiences, friends, foes and neutrals.snares of delusion are
these. Even so birth and death, prosperity and adversity, destiny and time and all the
illusion of the world; lands, houses, wealth, town and family, heaven and hell, and all the
phenomena of the world; nay, whatever is seen, heard or thought of with the mind has
its root in ignorance: nothing exists in reality.. .Suppose in a dream a beggar is crowned king or the lord of paradise is reduced
to the state of a pauper; on waking, the one does not gain nor does the other lose
anything. So must you look upon this world.. .Reasoning thus be not angry nor blame anyone in vain. Everyone is slumbering
in the night of delusion, and while asleep one sees dreams of various kinds. In this
night of mundane existence it is Yogis (mystics) alone who keep awake.Yogis who
are in quest of the highest truth and remain aloof from the world. A soul should be
deemed as having awoke from the night of the world only when he develops and


aversion for the enjoyments of the world of sense. It is only when right understanding
comes that the error of delusion disappears and then alone one develops love for the
feet of Rama (the Lord of Raghus). O friend, the highest spiritual goal is this: to be
devoted to the feet of Rama in thought, word and deed.

It is told that lord krsn spoke GITA to Arjuna who was lakshmana of tretayug and hanumanji were also present to listen it .

Yajurveda mantras transcription in English-vedastra

Life guiding mantras are contained in yajurveda , two of them in English transcription with translation are given here….

AUM Bhur bhuvah swah . tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi . dhiyo yonah prachodayat .

Earth! space! Heaven! May we attain that excellent glory of the almighty as the Sun, So may he stimulate our wisdom by our prayers With what help will he come to us.

AUM Trayanbakam yajamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam . urvarukmiv bandhananmritormukshiya mamratat .

My lord rudra having three eyes on earth , space and heaven, we worship with sweet to smell, for augmenter of prosperity of health .As from its stem a cucumber, may I be freed from bonds ofdeath, not reft of immortality.
Best illustration of these vedmantras has been done in gita shlokas as following…
Ye tu sarvaani karmaani mayi sannyasya matparaah;
Ananyenaiva yogena maam dhyaayanta upaasate.
Teshaamaham samuddhartaa mrityusamsaarasaagaraat;
Bhavaami nachiraat paartha mayyaaveshitachetasaam.

But to those who worship Me the almighty, renouncing all actions in Me, regarding Me as the supreme
goal, meditating on Me with single-minded Yoga, To those whose minds are set on Me, O Arjuna, verily I become ere long the saviour out
of the ocean of the mortal Samsara, the earth!

For more mantras to transcription in English and translation of Rudra stotram in yajurved chapter 16, vedastra plol may be referred .
