Every religious books, seers and mystics describe same virtues and knowledge for personal and intellectual growth of human.As Socrates says, “Truth is eternal”, what we are going to look in this post will be similar in all spiritual books.
Interpretation of good qualities from Vedas (oldest Hindu scriptures):
Swami Vivekananda discussed about vedas in his Chicago speech at The Parliament of Religions at 1893:
“The Hindus have received their religion through revelation, the Vedas. They believe that the Vedas are without beginning and without end. They are the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different persons in different times. Just as the law of gravitation existed before its discovery, and would exist if all humanity forgot it, so is it with the laws that govern the spiritual world. The moral, ethical, and spiritual relations between soul and soul and between individual spirits and the Father of all spirits, were there before their discovery, and would remain even if we forgot them”.
The four Vedas are the Rig-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Yajur-Veda, and the Atharva-Veda.
