The one thing that will again and again strike you about the Vedas is honesty.
00:04
They don't pretend.
00:05
And they give two hoots to what you will think about them.
00:08
Like a naked child, totally naked.
00:10
You feel scandalized looking at what he's doing.
00:15
But he is the least worried.
00:17
The courage of the Vedas lies in the fact that they said,
00:20
fine, if Prakriti is where we are to get our satisfaction from,
00:24
let's go the whole distance.
00:26
If Prakriti is what gives us what we want,
00:28
then let's accept the forces of nature as gods and goddesses.
00:33
No?
00:34
No hypocrisy.
00:35
If I live for the sake of my desires,
00:38
then let me turn the objects of my desires into gods and goddesses.
00:43
This is a very honest approach and a bold one.
00:46
We all do want stuff,
00:48
but we never have the rigor and the courage to simply accept
00:54
that the object that we want is indeed our God, right?
00:57
You might be dying after something,
00:59
but will you ever openly accept that the stuff that you are dying after is your de facto God?
01:05
So fire fulfills so many desires.
01:07
So what do I do?
01:08
I'll say fire is God.
01:10
Fire is God.
01:11
It's very innocently honest, is it not?
01:13
Cute.
