The perfect picture of Vedic culture
“All occupational engagements, or dharmas, are certainly meant for ultimate liberation. They should never be performed for material gain. Furthermore, one who is engaged in the ultimate occupational service, or dharma, should never use material gain to cultivate sense gratification.”
This particular verse highlights the greatest of cultures , far from Western materialism , it points to the significance of every person and gives value to them , the Greatness of God is that He assigns absolute importance to every living being . In the above verse, the method of how everyone can live their lives in positive therapeutic ways and benefit themselves is given . Living life to the full in rich and rewarding ways , with inner nourishment , satisfied minds, as well as the senses being satisfied in balanced ways ,
Material satisfaction of the sences is required by all living beings , and humans are no different , but the human is meant for something far greater . The Vedic Culture was designed in such a way to give educational experiences for everyone that were linked to every aspect of life , opening up an untapped inner resource for enrichment of consciousness and peace of mind . All varieties and aspects of educational cultures , the arts, various sciences , math , social sciences etc etc . were , at every stage of life , united with the progressive and ongoing experience of sharing , living, loving and it was centred around somehow or another connecting persons to help them experience the source of all living and loving , who is known at Rasaraja, Krishna.
Like an artists pallet, society is of mixed colours , but a process of bringing pure systematic knowledge in progressive ways as well as painting the perfect picture of a harmonious society was the responsibility of the qualified intelligensia . Those who were Proffesors in the science of self realisation and who knew well the therapeutic methods of linking material sciences to spiritual ones for the benefits of one and all.
This means having knowledge of what’s good and what’s harmful. In Vedic terms, Vidya and Avidya . Knowledge means this .
