Om bhúr bhuvah svah
tat savitur varenyam
bhargo devasya dhímahi
dhiyo yo nah prachodayátOm. Let us meditate in The One, The Creator
of the Physical, Ethereal and Celestial Worlds,
the Deserver of Adoration, the Radiating Wise G’d,
The Divine One.
So that He illuminates our Intellect.
Manu, a young Brahmin
, wished to know totally the hided wisdom of the Vedas
scripture, the Holy Books ), without reading them. As his father, a famous scholar, he inherited the faculties necesary to become a wise man. But due to his laziness, Manu discarded the idea of reading the Sacred Vedas.
In order to facilitate the things, he began to venerate to Indrathe lord of the heavens and the king of the g’ds. After a time, this one appeared to him and he said to Manu:
- “Your meditation and your efforts please to me very much. Now you can request a desire to me”.
Manu, anxious of that opportunity, inclined his head before the G’d, and said to him:
- “Please, giv e me the gift to know the Sacred Vedas, without I read them”.
Indra at first smiled and then laughed at him, and answered him:
- “I’m sorry. I cannot otorgate you what you seek, because until today, nobody has been wise about the thorough Sacred Vedas, without before have reading them”.
And the he desappeared.
But Manu was constant about that idea and that thought , and reinitiated
Its veneration offering solid foods to the G’d, fastening and drinking only water. After a time, Indra appeared again to him and he said:
- “Truly, your veneration makes a good impression to me. Please, tell me what can I do for you?”.
The young brahmin repeated him his desire and Indra expressed again the impossibility to fulfill it to him and them he left for the second time this material world.
On the following day, Manu went to the sea to make his ritual bath and saw a man who threw pebbles to the water. He observed it by a long time and without being able to resist he ask to the man:
- “Why you incessantly throw stones to the sea?”
The man answered to him:
- “It displease me and I am trying to fill the sea with the stones”.
After listening to him, Manu laughed and asked him:
- “You think that the sea perhaps can be filled with stones?”.
The man asked him back:
- “Yes. If indeed exist those ones that know the Sacred Vedas without to have reading them, I also can overhelm the sea with rocks, stones and pebbles”.
Right away Manu was noticed of whom was that man.
At once he bow his head and tamely touched the man’s feet in a signal of submission. He was, of course, not other than Indra.
At last, Manu asked to him:
- “There is a special method to dominate the Sacred Wisdom from the Sacred Vedas without reading them?”.
And Indra answered him:
- “If you wish to know the Wisdom of the Sacred Books, without reading them, then you must sing the Gáyatri Mantra. It will be the ending of your laziness and it will cheer to you. You will always feel fresh and
enthusiastic with that Holy Mantra. Also it will be the Power of your knowledge and thus you will be another man, “a Brand New Man”.
Thanks to its Amazing Force you will dominate the Sacred Scriptures”.
After giving him that advice, Indra disappeared.Julio Enrique Brugos 29/04/05
