On a table covered with a beautiful silky tablecloth a number of religious books were there. One found the table on the center of attraction for everyone for those who participated in the conference. | Significance of The Vedas |
Moreover, one clever religious leader stacked the books in a pile. Somebody kept the Vedas at the bottom of the pile. There were all the other books present . Eventually ,somebody kept The Holy Quran on the top of the Vedas.
After all ,the clever organizer cunningly said to Swami Vivekananda, “Swamiji, now you see that the source of all your knowledge. As a matter of fact , somebody kept the Vedas deep under all other religious books. Literally ,these are at the bottom of the pile.
After a while ,Swamiji said smilingly, “What you are looking at is seen by me in a different way. You said that the Vedas lied buried under all the other religious books but look at the pile again carefully and you will find that these are the foundation of all the religious books.
Lastly ,all other books contains topics on the Vedas. All the knowledge is flowing from the Vedas. These are the voice of God himself. These are the greatest and most pious of all the religious books.”
