His hands are expressive of the capacity to hold and grasp, not just objects and things but also concepts and ideas that his hands must translate into practical realities of the earth life. The early stir of sounds have taken in him the form of speech and thought through which he can fly higher than any bird can even dream of and dive deeper than any creature of the sea. His vision of the world is rainbow-hued and he is able to look into the distant horizon as well as upward. Unlike his predecessors, man neither crawls nor runs on his fours he can neither swim as a fish does nor fly as a bird but his body stands erect, his eyes facing forward and not sideways. This is his destiny, and the secret of achieving this is also enclosed in his body as a cryptic script. Indeed man can evolve to the stature of the gods he can become, through his thoughts and deeds, a luminous shaft of Light, a power of faith and love, a bringer of hope and joy, a catalyst of a great revolution or a much-needed change. The Vedic lore speaks of some human beings who joined the ranks of the gods to assist them in their battle against the dark and titanic powers. This is the first glimmer of light that begins to dawn in us, the light of reason, the birth of conscious thought and with this birth man can assist the evolutionary struggle. In man this begins to be replaced with something like a reflection, a referral and appeal to thought before action flows out through us. In the animal creation, there is simply a blind habitual movement, a subservience to instincts and impulse. In man this struggle has reached its climax or rather a crucial turning point. ![]() The Vedas reveal to us that this life is an evolutionary struggle, not just between one form of life and another (the horizontal view of traditional science), but between the forces of darkness and light (the ascending view of Vedanta). The unwritten pages of the Vedic text must be written in his body even as they exist in the spiritual ether. His body is given to him for this purpose, for the recovery and the unfolding of this Greatness. Man can recover this Wisdom, first in his inner being and next express it in his outer life. The human body in this view has to be seen as a tool of the almighty wisdom that works in the heart of creation concealed behind the surfaces of life. Nay it would not have taken even the first steps towards life emerging out of rocks and minerals. If that were not so, then it is doubtful if evolution would have crossed the threshold of the first micro-organisms that can still outsmart man and his machines. Survival is only a first condition, not the last. The real struggle of life is not the struggle for survival, but the struggle for the emergence of this secret Wisdom and Truth. That is the great marvel of man, his exceptional privilege. In Man it begins to emerge, to recover or rediscover something of itself but in terms of matter and in the physical body. It is there, submerged in the clod and the stone, arranging the indeterminate electrical horde into ordered Space and rhythms of Time. In the animal creation, and all that is still below in the evolutionary scheme, it works from behind, completely hidden from sight, acting through a blind intuition of which the animal and plant forms are themselves unaware. This Conscious Force that works secretly in the heart of creation has come to a point of emergence in the human nature. ![]() Of course the bedrock or the fundamental foundation of the Vedas is that there is a Conscious Force that works in the depths of creation, hidden by our surface view of life. It is living in the sense that unlike a man-made mental system of thought or ethics it can be renewed in contemporary experience, stated in contemporary terms and even expanded into a many-sided richness. Veda is the living body of knowledge that inspired the seers of Truth who saw in this world, hidden behind appearances, a secret All-knowing Wisdom, an occult Almighty Power at work. ![]()
