What did the Rishi's discover as the Eternal Truth?
As we have mentioned earlier
pages that all information from within us comes from the field of
Awareness. It is art to tap knowledge from this Awareness, the field
of knowledge. Rishi's being in this state of Awareness,
were able to get knowledge in other branches of science which is
still applicable to Modern Science.
The
Indian Institute of Scientific Heritage: lists
out contributions various
Scientific disciplines of Astronomy, Astrology, Ayurveda, Architecture, Vedic-Mathematics, Architecture,
metallurgical sciences, Kama-shastra and many more. The Vedic
approach to management is an integrated approach looking into
physiological, psychological, family - society and national aspects.
In all these branches the fundamental Vedic Principle of
body-mind-intellect-awareness path is reflected.
Answer to the question:
Different Rishi's have tapped different degrees of this
Awareness state and obtained the knowledge regarding the mysteries of the
Universe. Without objectively pursuing externally through the sense organs
like the Modern Scientists, Ancient Scientists, the Rishi's took the
alternative route of internal seeking and reaching the right "Source"
of all creation and Big-Bang.
Modern Medical Science after reaching the pinnacle of
technological success
is now turning towards the alternative source involving the Mind, researching and proving the health benefits of Yoga and
Meditation.
There is no doubt that it could help to experience few moments of Awareness
state resulting in good health and happiness. But these are just trivial
shells collecting in the rivers. Plunging deep in the Ocean Of
Consciousness is when one finds the pearls of Wisdom about the mystery of
the Universe.
What is this Consciousness?
It is the Consciousness that has manifested as this
Universe and all life forms in it. Everything is only the
manifestation of Consciousness. In the next few pages we will discuss how
this Consciousness has manifested as the diverse Universe. The Consciousness
is that which is never destroyed. Only the forms are changing.
Is Awareness different from Consciousness?. Awareness is conditioned
to change whereas Consciousness is unconditional. Its looks
confusing initially about these two terms. However the logical
explanation of the Vedic theory of creation
discussed in the next few pages will help to understand the two
terms clearly.
However before going to the Theory of creation, we will briefly
discuss the Symbolic language of the Vedas. Like Modern science
using graphical images the Rishi's used Symbolic images to explain
to the layman the mystery of the Universe.
