[quote:Anonymous Coward 79247814:MV80MTk4MDg3XzgyNDc3NjIyXzUzNzFBRURE] [quote:The_Meridian:MV80MTk4MDg3Xzc2MzQ3MjQzXzJFRkVEQzY=] The problem with Vedic literature is that it is elastic, and tends to be whatever anyone wants it to be...ascribing all sorts of mysticism to books whose language is mostly lost to time. Have you read the Dhanarad Migistra? It contains this verse: Humans will travel to and fro in metal birds Young men will devote entire lives to images on a screen Leaders will become boastful and arrogant It was from 9000BC but wasn't written down until 812AD! You will believe this and never check. Now you will think the Vedas are all powerful and we should all become Hindu and go practice all manner of new-ageism that is packaged for westerners as "Mystical Ancient Hinduism" [/quote] This is a very envious mentality and you are mocking the Vedic scriptures, ie committing blasphemy. Kind of hard to understand spiritual knowledge when you approach it with a snarky Reddit teenage girl attitude. [/quote]
