My revered teacher referred one verse from Rig-Veda that deals about the path of purification: "Yo Vishow Vhu Vipsssati, Sancha Passati, Sana Parsati Ta Dweshaha!" One who explores himself through right understanding will come out of all the anger. This single sentence is so great that it is the solution of all the problems. Those who have been practicing meditation will know this better; this is the clue and essence of untying knots. Coming out of anger means- coming out of craving, coming out of craving means -coming out of entire fetter system. Medicine need not be plenty, couple of pills is enough if it is right. But, isn't this like looking for a diamond piece in a coal mine? Without any discrimination, with an objective judgment, from my own experience and study I can say, unlike Veda the entire Tipathika tells about the path of liberation, the path of purification, the path of complete cessation of misery. Read every single verse, every single Sutta, every single chapter, it will make the path clearer and clearer. Don't believe me, just test yourself. The oldest verses of Rig-Veda are considered to be not more than 5000 years old. Rather than spirituality they reflect the brutality of Aryans over Darvidians. These verses shade some light on the geography of Indus valley and its surroundings. For example, Rig-Veda mentioned about a big river known as Saraswati, which dried out, that might have forced Aryan towards more North. This river is still exist in Mantras- " Gange Cha, Yemune Cha, Godavari, Saraswati". Anthropologist recently discovered the bank of this dried river. Rig-Veda reviles that the Aryans used to be compassionless, brutal hunters. They had good iron weapons and they had chariots. They conquered peace loving, poorly equipped, dark skinned Dravidians and made them slave. These are called Sudras (I don't want to go about the cast system here, which is another chapter). Some of these Dark skinned people who opposed were killed, and they were labeled as Rakshas, the evil. Some of these people escaped to the South. Dravidians used to be very civilized people, they used to have privite bath houses in their home, drainage, sewage system etc. Aryan used to worship the personification of nature. For example, personification of fire is- Agni, personification of rain is -Indra, personification of sea is -Barun, personification of Sun is -Surya, Moon is -Soma etc. This used to be very common in every civilization. The first greatest civilization of the world, Mesopotamia, the second greatest civilization, Egyptians used to do that. Aryan might have taken this concept from them, because they came into the figure only 2000 to 1000 years after these two great civilizations. These two civilizations remind highly influential for centuries and Aryan must be familiar to these two lands so that they can make a voyage from central Europe to Indus valley via Middle East. Aryan merchants should be well known to all the major area around Indus valley to invade it. Avasta, the secret scripture of Iranians share many Vedic gods. Both Veda and Avesta have 33 gods (later in Pauranic era they need more new gods so they put million after 33 and made 33 million- this is another big chapter I want to limit myself to Vedas). Mayan people of America -completely another world, also have developed the concept of god independently; their major gods were also the Sun and the Moon the natural objects. My point is the gods were created by people; it was gradual development of civilization. Indra used to be the main god of Aryans, it makes sense they were farmers and he was the personification of rain. Farmars need rain. These all Gods used to be worshipped with praise to make them happy so that they would offer people material wealth, prosperity, good health, good luck etc. Contd.....
