It teaches a lifestyle and value structure which helps us grow so well that we can discover that we are whole. The main essence of this teaching is duty. Because it includes knowledge, it is not confined to a culture or a particular time, nation, or geography. There is no Indian or American knowledge. Knowledge is always true to the object, and no one has a geographical claim over it. Further, the Vedic tradition holds the Vedas as the body of knowledge coming down from generation to generation. Since we cannot trace a beginning for it, we impute its origin to the Lord. Thus, the Vedas are too ancient, even to claim it as Indian. This is true for any ancient treasure. In Egypt, for instance, there are many pyramids. Suppose the Egyptian government decided to do away with one pyramid and put a housing complex in its place. Do you think that the world community will accept it? Definitely not. This is because the pyramid has outlived time and is no longer Egyptian, even though it happens to be in Egypt. It is too ancient even for Egypt to claim as its own. The Egyptian government can only be a managing trustee which has no right to destroy. Similarly, this Vedic knowledge does not belong to any particular community. It is too ancient. It is the most ancient body of knowledge in humanity and is intact. Further, it is a live tradition coming down from generations so that even Indians cannot claim that it belongs to them. It is too ancient for anyone to claim as theirs. They are fortunate enough to be the current managing trustees. But unlike a pyramid, this body of knowledge has to be managed by a person who has imbibed it. Gaining knowledge is neither difficult nor easy. It appears difficult if you are not ready, but if you are, there is nothing easier. To know a given thing, you must have a certain preparedness determined by what you want to know. Here, what I want to know is what I want to be. This is unlike any other knowledge. Naturally, you require a unique preparedness which the Vedas prescribe as a life of duties. The Veda gives us a plan to make ourselves mature.
