Pranam to Parampoojya Parameshwar Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj
Paramamrut
(English Translation of the Audio series in Marathi by Brahmatmaikyadhnyani Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj)
Mandate of Kenopnishad (5)
Cont’d… 5
For the people in general to get inclined towards Vedant Principles, Puranas were created which embed these principles in the form of stories. All the people are interested in stories. There are umpteen numbers of tales in Puranas, which people read with interest. They do group readings. All these are formulated by ancient Sages, so that people will come out of their worldly life for some time. All the time spent in doing worship Penance, reading Godly tales do not take the people near God, but that is essential for taking them out of their worldly worries inflicting umpteen miseries and sufferings.
It is training given for coming out of our ego, attachments and desires, at least for some time. (But now a days we see that people in general do not follow the instructions given in Scriptures. They give more weightage to material enjoyment. Without realizing that we are getting trapped by the weapons of Maya, busy in building the mountains of griefs, miseries and sufferings for us.)
Maharshi Vyas wrote Epic Mahabharat with stories there in for people in general.
Same Maharshi Ved Vyas made four parts of Ved and streamlined them bringing out Vedant Principles in Upnishad.
Let us go through the instructions of Ved on the worships and penances. Let us look at kenopnishad which explains reality about God and worship to us.
