(Thursday 9-21-1944)
‘Sapta-Shloki’ (the Seven Verses)
Yada srushtam jagat sarvam
Tada lokapitamahah
Chaturveda samayuktam
Shashwatam dharmamadishat
Purport: At the time of Creation, that is, when the Universe was created and arrayed, the Almighty Father revealed unto the Seers and Sages the eternally sound principles of religious disciplines embodied in the form of Four Vedas.
Kim satkarma kim adhyatmam
Yadi vijnyatu marhati
Sarva sastreshu grantheshu
Pramanam paramam shrutih
Purport: If you are keen to know what is good deed, action or moral duty and what is the fact concerning the soul (Brahman) then the highly regarded supportive scripture for all the precepts and scriptures, which have brought forth the knowledge on the subjects, is Vedas alone, the only authoritative standard of reference.
Aspashtam cha kada spashtam
Tatvajnana wiwechanam
Anyatra labhyate kintu
Pramanam paramam shrutih
Purport: It is likely that the Knowledge concerning philosophy or the real nature of the soul (Brahman) may have been discussed clearly or indistinctly in other scriptures but if there is any authoritative standard text on the subject it is only Vedas.
Arsha grantheshu sarveshu
Shruti pramanya mewacha
Sarvatah aramadadyat
Nijakalyan hetawe
Purport: Such scriptures of the great Seers wherein has been incorporated the essence of everything that is beneficial for the welfare of man, for all of these, Vedas is the only supportive standard scripture of reference.
Shushkawadaratah kechin
Nanyadastiti wadinah
Sarwe te wilayam yanti
Mithya kalaha karinah
Purport: Creating any causeless or dry controversy or not recognizing the dominion of the Almighty but expounding that the visible world alone is the truth, rest is all untrue – such controversies or opinions create false and worthless conflicts. Therefore all such opinions and counter-opinions will face dissolution, they will all disappear.
Nastikah wedanindakah
Pakhandah wedadooshakah
Ete sarwe winashyanti
Mithyachara prawartakah
Purport: Atheists (non-believers), defamators of the Vedas, hypocrites and seducers of the Vedas cause to be instrumental in propagating wrong thoughts and behavior hence they all will face destruction.
Yajnya daan tapah karma
Swadhyaya nirato bhawet
Esha ewa hi shrutyuktah
Satya dharma sanatanah
