The symbolic knowledge of Veda: The path to attain happiness in the perspective of Sri Aurobindo
Authors

Abstract
Veda is a symbol of knowledge, a spiritual light. It is believed that
for this occult knowledge one must first be able to deliberate that knowledge.
If it is revealed to an unclean spirit, it can lead to abuse and moral decay.
That is why the veda is described in symbolic form. When the mind-power and
body-power work in unison, eternal bliss flows towards immortality. One can
attain immortality through the constant transformation of body and mind by
truth. And one can attain moksha by developing truth and beauty within oneself.
Veda teaches us to be strong and active. Knowledge of veda inculcates
motivation towards truth and light, maintains steadiness of mind and makes our
thoughts clear and distinct. Truth comes as light, comes as sound. Old thought
patterns are changed and new judgments emerge. The knowledge of truth awakens
new understanding of self and surrounding ecosystem, which makes human beings
aware about happiness. Truth of thought brings truth of vision and truth of
vision constitutes truth of existence. And from this truth of existence,
emotions, desires and actions flow naturally. This is the central idea of veda.
The objectives of this paper are to explore the symbolic knowledge of veda and
its importance for attaining happiness in the light of Sri Aurobindo’s The
Secret of the Veda.
