Are the Vedas like a jungle, as a blasphemous scholar alleges?

Question is one one teacher has said that the vedas are just like jungles it has brought contradictory and controversial things why have our sages given the chance of blasphemy to others this is not blasphemy that the scriptures are like a jungle so this is 2.22 should i say and that time you’ll no longer be so the opposition to scripture will not be better than anything we have heard in the past or anything we will build in the future now this is a very technical subject and i know that you already heard on class earlier so i try to keep this simple the Vedic scriptures don’t provide things in terms of digital logic one possible they provide analog i think that the continuum and we can situate the aspects wherever we want or many of you may have heard the example oh the bible and the quran like a repetition and the various scriptures are like the have you heard this example they are like the what the unaffirmed vishnu now you know we can normally speak this is a very again into the world but actually it’s not like that things can work we have to understand and unabridged dictionary is not necessarily the best dictionary to use if you have to do this for example if i’m just looking for the meaning of one word and i find that 31 meanings of that word now you know i was reading the book and then trying to read the dictionary will take more research than reading the book only which meaning is applicable over here so now unabridged dictionary serves a particular purpose that of having a compilation of the things that are used but the unabridged dictionary is for advanced users just as words have many meanings and different meanings apply in different contexts similarly the various scriptures are on the form the uniform uniform one dress when you go to school often they have uniform so everybody wears one dress only with my department there are many forms on the so what it means is that the scriptures the different people are in different levels of consciousness and therefore not everyone can follow the same instructions not everyone can follow the same process and therefore there are different processes given to four different people now for example we know that there are in the concept which I mentioned that there are six puranas and these puranas talk about levels or talk about ideas talk about lifestyles which can link with their audiences and they’re following each of those puranas because it will elevate so from ignorance of other people’s passion for passion for the consciousness so because if one does not understand the overall picture then one will think oh this scripture is saying this thing that picture says that thing that you see that thing why is it like that but the point is that they the scriptures are not contradictory they are complementary means this is not the opposite complementary means this serves one purpose that’s another purpose and together they make a complete so the scriptures are like a package for elevating people from whatever levels they are so now the white wire where the general metaphor used if somebody goes into a jungle and they get everywhere in the forest there’s no way out of the forest so if somebody just goes into a forest he just if one’s not reading the scriptures especially now so so there are many many scriptures and there are many meanings of the scriptures and further there is we have very little time and even if i had said one hour i’m doing suddenly my cell phone starts reading suddenly i get a message suddenly somebody calls me that happens or nothing else happens then really nothing happens i want to sleep so we have so many therefore focus on this so scriptures can act like a jungle because they contain different levels of message different kinds of message to elevate people in different levels and if one does not have a complete picture one of the things you are cute but i understand the complete picture so if we study scripture unguided then it will appear as if they are like a jungle which we get lost but if we understand that we understand the guidance of scriptures then they all actually not some places that we get lost but there are places which help the lost people to come back home at their place see the speciality of scriptures is what from your place at your place krishna offers service but from your place from your place means from your place at your place not your place means nothing you have to be a butterfly it’s too much you cannot do this yes if you can’t do that bhavna jalmana manti now we can take this in a joking way but it’s not bad it’s better than in between and in the background so there is a rapid express way which we are taking but you should not think that the gradual way is something bad as compared to the express way it is as compared to the elevator it may not but for those who cannot take the elevator it is good so krishna but then follow the gradual process so the scripts i said from your place how your place means whether your goodness path in ignorance scriptures will elevate at your place means that you can take the fast process you can take the slow process whatever you want to do depending on how much commitment one wants to make depending on how much one’s spiritual condition is developed what is that krishna offers remembrance means that it is krishna who’s going with you that’s why there are people who say that my way or the higher way convert or will kill you now there is this radical isis which is taking power in syria this is not they’re brutally killing people now this sort of forcible conversion no it is not only dehumanizing dehumanizing in terms of you are violating the feet of people but it is so superficial and what i’ll kill you look at them and do that but faith is a matter of the heart faith is not a matter of the lips and those who think that at gunpoint you can convert people no that means they have not understood the faith is a matter of the heart you cannot convert people so it’s a very superficial understanding of faith and do that so what is christian understanding different people have different what we need to understand is it is not that my way is the only way what does krishna say he doesn’t say my way is the only way all people are on my way all people are on my way now of course on my way what they are doing that is up to them on my way they just want to sleep my way they are on my way only but they are just uh pausing inside see it’s just creeping like a slave or something to be like a charging like a leopard flying like a hawk like a vehicle so different people have different tastes but it’s krishna is often so the scripture we offer we offer methods for elevation for different people at different levels let’s conclude this one example what is good and what is bad depends on the level that person is suppose father has two sons and one of them is barely passing the exams this gets 40 percent marks another is now on the top so it gets 80 percent say now in science 80 percent not very happy humanity 80 percent is quite high so anyway it is supposed to come very high marks now today both of them are coming to this letter and both of them got 16 percent so now the father the 40 percent son says father is you can’t understand that you’re a bigger so from there the top 60 percent is going down so similarly now krishna only has given the scriptures which talk about the worship of the devatas or there is shiva or whatever this krishna only ultimately in the scriptures where he talks about the worship of the devatas so uh that is for the 40 percent level to rise to 60 percent for people who are just multiculturalistic atheistic godless for them actually they should develop some level of religious connection and by that have some elevation but that same krishna who has given scripture he says he has given scripture well then what was he talking about that same krishna also says in bhagavad-gita that those are worshiping devatas they are worshiping all the they’re not worshiping god if krishna has only given the scripture which they didn’t want to worship they’re coming because krishna is speaking in the bhagavad-gita to 80 percent importance for the 80 percent if you worship the devatas you are blessed so this jungle race for people who do not know the idea of a jungle race for those people who know the overall master plan of the scriptures see by this master plan what is krishna doing is accommodating more and more and more people into the home of religion you know a is say like the Abrahamic religions but my way or the other either you accept allah is the savior muhammad is the savior muhammad is the prophet last prophet seal of prophets are you accepting that the savior this is the no one shall go back to the father except through me whatever sort of exclusive statements are there so exclusive statements they are so rather than making it like that and either you follow me or you will have to help what krishna does is he offers multiple level multiple level means he says you can’t follow this you can’t follow this you can get elevated gradually and come back so when there is no understanding of gradual elevation then there is confusion but we do not know that the proper master plan they think that the general but those who understand that the professor master plan they understand that actually scripture is not like a general they can express way with many many segments in that expression which of which take people from one level to higher level.
