Perhaps being short on knowledge and long on
ingenuity may help to understand the situation a little, and being short on
ingenuity and long on knowledge may improve your understanding more than
earlier condition, then why not try a little longer on knowledge and ingenuity
so both may be complimentary to one another! They considered themselves
superior to other human races.
They were feudal lords and for them other humans
belonged to lowly families. Members of these lowly families had to vow homage
and ealty. On the contrary tribes of Aryans when they accepted culture and
people from other class they taught the discipline of Dharma. Moral order and
righteousness was stressed vehemently. All the knowledge of sciences was linked
with Oece&. There were no vassals and no slaves. Ramayana Mahabharat
societies freely practiced polygamy and polyandry. Those hunters who could not
chase game, and were not skillful with bow and arrow adopted ploys to come near
their hunts without alarming. They did not use hunting horn like more versatile
hunters. One can see example of this in Africa. Bushmen in Africa move behind ostrich
tying small twigs on their foreheads to steal their eggs.
Today science, astrophysics, cosmology is
proving the point and memory channels and deepened. Expansion theory pushes old
galaxies away and new ones appear on the scene exerting their influence. This
runs parallel with the thinking process of ancient sages who visualized some
concepts and derived some conclusions, travelling from darkness to light of
knowledge ``lecemees cee p³eesefleie&ce³e.'' But while doing so don't allow
any emotion to get stronger and take your control; remain polite, remain
spiritual. Let the credit of good rest with the God.
Development of intuition, reading of good and
bad omens watching trends in Nature and in the sky: Ancient sages warned
against the unpropitions signs, they advised in advance plan of retribution to
be guide by; more importantly they impressed upon the observance of the moral
order and the fulfilment of all its obligations to be able to perform the tasks
set by fate as they should be treated more gravely and life itself. This
character building morality standards bestowed power in blessings and curses.
''Thus it has been spoken; thus shall it be.''
Ancient sciences talked about rebirth, as a
chance for human beings to improve upon thier moral character and finally
achieve salvation (go beyond the cycle of birth and death). Common man found
solace in the idea and to a certain extent became tearless as the tress deal of
cards was available. People were also prepared to conciliate with the idea of
death. With the idea of rebirth there is a suggestion that death must have been
familiar. Ancient sages told us that death is a new beginning. Some who remain
conscious to the end go through transformative experiences. Their moods show on
their faces as they die. Biologist researchers have made notes in their
diaries. There are also psychokinetic effects on record. When Thomas A. Edison
died the clocks belonging to two of his associates stopped at the time of his
death; his own grand father clock stopped only a few minutes later (may be due
to the effect of pendulum action that stores additional energy of motion).
There are cases which indicated that bargains were struck between patient and
apparition.
Many American mothers waited to die till they saw
or heard about their sons fight physical basis of mind, and it may be possible
to discover the physical location of ''soul'' through the non-physical
processes of conscionsness! Crick refuses to believe that the soul and mind
survive the death of the body. Crick was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1962 for his
part in the discovery of DNA. If these ''awareness neurones'' are identified,
they may be recognised as the physical basis of mind, in exactly the same way
that DNA is the phisical and chemical basis of life. Also there is a difference
that must be taken into account. The discovery of ''conscionsness neurones
''would not actually explain why people have the thoughts they have it would
only show the physical basis that enables them to have thoughts in the first
place. With these newly developed mental tools when we look at the thoughts of
Vedic Sages, a feeling creeps in our mind that all these modern mental tools
fall short of fathoming depth of those thoughts. It is only modern physicists
we are tracing back their thoughts in Vedic scriptures and identifying the
roots. They were not prematured, irrational, irrelevant, menaingless thoughts.
Moral sesibility was of high order incomprehensible labyrith of metaphor and
allegory in the Vedic tradition is becoming traverseable. The concept was for all humanity - ''Sanatana
Dharma''-Eternal or Universal Righteousness.
