It is only culture which makes a nation strong and future of citizens bright. Difference between the vedic culture, which emanates directly from God and the self-made culture of human-beings will ever remain. Self-made culture can be called as customs, which are destroyed one day due to the effect of the time which is labouring on and one day final destruction takes place.
In this regard, Learned Metterlic in his book “The Great Secret” has written “Let us once give ear to Rigved, the most authentic echo of the most immortal tradition. Let us know how it appreciates the formidable problem.
“There was neither Being nor Non-Being. There was neither atmosphere nor heaven above the atmosphere. What moved and whither and in whose care? Were there water and the bottomless deep ? There was then neither death nor immortality. The day was not divided from night. Only one breathed in Himself without extraneous breath and apart from Him, there was nothing.”
So, during the time of final destruction, the whole universe and each of its matter like sun, moon, stars, earth, forests, sea, the body of all living beings and the man-made culture or the books written by the learned man/woman are destroyed except the knowledge of vedas which always remains with Almighty God. So, what is the purpose of continuing enmity after death of the person. Self-made culture provides momentary pleasure gained by five senses. For example when we see from eyes, smell from nose, taste from tongue, hear from ears, get pleasure by touching the matters from skin. If the said matters are liked by the mind and intellect then we feel personal momentary pleasure. You see, when we perform any self-made custom then we are gathered in a group and we get happiness while following the self-made culture by talking with our known person-relatives etc., on several matters of pleasure and sorrows. As a result, our mind feels pleasure and satisfaction by performing worship, marriage and several other customs.
On the other hand, God-made eternal and everlasting vedic culture always relates with ved mantras and provides us with happiness, wealth and even salvation by destroying all our sorrows. For example Yajurved mantra 22/20 (vedic culture) preaches us- those aspirants, who perform daily Yajyen with ved mantras under guidance of a learned Acharya, to provide pleasure to the learned, to do vedic study to purify inner faculty (mann, buddhi, chitta, ahankar), to get progress in science, to purify immortal vedic speech and atmosphere etc., such aspirants experience pleasure by the grace of God. You see, here our vedic culture inspires all human beings to perform Yajyen to get unlimited benefits.
So, if there will not be any inspirations/preach then nobody would perform Yajyen to get and spread several benefits for himself and others.
Similarly Yajurved mantra 22/22 preaches us to pray to God to ask for -That in our nation-
* Brahmins, who are learned of vedas and have realized God should take birth.
* Kshatriyas, who are perfect to fight against the enemies in a war, to defeat them, should take birth.
* Several bullocks, which carry burden, cows which provide us with milk, fast running horses, the women who hold the family and look after the same, the youth who get victory in the war, the Yajmaan who performs Yajyen should be born to give respect to the learned and hold/perform Yajyen for the benefit of the nation and warriors, who destroy the enemies should also take birth.
* Oh! God, we desire and pray that the timely rains occur so that we get good crops, ripened fruits etc.
* We may also get perfection to protect all the above quoted matters; when we get and gather the same.
Isn’t it that if the public would not listen/learn vedas then how would they be able to do above divine prayer or for the benefit of nation/creation.
So, the vedic culture used to be adopted by the Kings and public of previous yugas and that is why they made their future bright and lived long.
On the contrary, it seems that now when vedic knowledge is mostly being ignored in India then how both the politicians and the public of the nation can make their future bright. Is anyone on the earth empowered to break the rules, orders and preach of Almighty God mentioned in Vedas.
Culture of different countries and regions usually differs. But the eternal culture which emanates directly from God is impartial and is universally applicable to everyone. Nowadays, mostly the people, especially our India has ignored vedic culture due to one or the other reason; as a result, facing several problems, because God preaches in Vedas that vedic culture destroys all sorrows and provides divine pleasure to the aspirants. It is a well-known truth that “If you want to destroy a nation destroy its culture, the nation will perish away at its own accord”.
India has ruled all over the world for more than one Arab, ninety six crores and eight lakh years only because of the fact, that at that time vedic culture was in vogue. Our country was full of pleasure, wealth, peace and unlimited divine qualities. Poverty did not exist. Let us pay our attention on some examples of vedic culture-
* Rigved mantra1/148/4 directs that whatever the wrongful education has been given by the corrupt persons that should be given up and those who preach the true education and conduct truth in the life, those learned are required to be accepted.
* Rigvedmantra1/141/9 advises that the Almighty God is Supreme judge and has unlimited knowledge similarly the human-beings by making contact with learned Acharya must become learned and justiciable and must get complete knowledge of vedas.
*Rigved mantra 1/141/10 preaches that those who leave the unrighteousness and follow Vedas to discharge moral duties, they only after destroying their sorrows experience the divine pleasure.
* See what Atharvaved mantra 6/37/1, 2 say just as wolf finishes the sheep similarly those who utter harsh language and abuse and curse others, the said harsh language, abuse and curse finishes the said person.
(Note:- If above quoted preach along with other preachings would not be delievered to the society then how would they separate themselves fromthe illusion, blind faith,revenge etc. and from the abuses and curses.)
As quoted above when the abuses and curses etc. finish the person who curses and abuses, if the said preach is learnt by the public then all the politicians would stop telling lies, abusing, cursing etc.
You see, the Vedic culture is perfectly full of such preachings and orders but because nowadays we are indulged in illusion and materialism has attracted us, so due to negligence of vedic preach, we are only after the materialistic articles, pomp and show etc. and most of the politicians are day and night after capturing the power and that is why, we have plunged in deep sea of sorrows to face unlimited problems.
