PRESERVING THE VEDAS- PUJYASRI SRI CHANDRASEKHARENDRA SARASWATHI SWAMIGAL
When we look at the universe and the complex manner in which it functions, we realize that there must be a Great Wisdom that has created it and sustains it. It is from this Great Wisdom that is the Paramatman that all we see are born and it is from it that all sounds we hear are emanated.
First came the universe of sound and then the universe that we observe. Most of the form still exists in space. All that exists in the outer universe is present in the human body also. The space that exists outside us also exists in our heart.
The Yogins have experience of this hrudayaakasa, this heart- sky or this heart –space, when they are in Samadhi (absorbed in the infinite). In this state of theirs, all differences between the outward and inward vanish and two become one. The Yogins can now grasp the sounds of space and bestow the same on mankind. These successions of sound that bring benefits to the world are indeed the mantras of the Vedas.
These mantras are not the creation of anyone. Though each of them is in the name of a rishi or seer, in reality it is not his creation. When we say that a certain mantra has a ceratin sage
associated with it, all that we mean is that it was he who first "saw" it existing without a beginning in space and revealed it to the world. The very word "rishi" means "mantra-drasta" (one who saw the mantra or discovered it), not "mantra– karta" (one who created it). Our life is dependent on how our breathing functions. In the same way the cosmos functions in accordance of the vedic sounds – so the vedic mantras are the very breath of the Supreme Being.
We must conclude that, without the Vedas there is no Brahman: To put it differently the Vedas are self-existent like the Paramatman.
