Tag Veda

Right or Wrong is relative.

It is purely Subjective.

When a vast majority follow a certain practice and decides it to be Right it becomes right.

These value judgement are, at the Social level,are tools of Social Control.

They do not mean anything more.

However, as one has to exist in a Society , one has to follow these norms in this world.

Knowledge or Awareness is of two kinds.

One, knowledge of this world objects and the other,

The knowledge about oneself,, Reality,which is personal and can be felt only by the individual.

Therefore the Vedas classify Knowledge into two Kinds..

One, The Absolute Knowledge, Para Vidya and

Transient Knowledge, Para Vidya.

Transient Knowledge is transitory, subject to change, depends on our perceptions and real only in the relative sense.

To illustrate, let us take the case of one sitting in a Room and there is a Table in the other Room which he can not see.

Here, for the one he sits in a room, the table does not exist as it is not visible or seen by him.

If one were to prove its existence from one's memory that it was there and it used to be there , this argument s fallacious as it does not depend on one's direct experience.

But, the fact that the table exists can not denied because one has not seen it, is wrong as well

Therefore an Object exists or 'Is', from the standpoint of its being there, seen by some body or as an idea in one's mind.('Is'-'Asti')

It does not exist-'Nasti', from the stand point of the one who is sitting in the other room.

There is yet another class of people who see the Table for the first time.

As they have not seen it before they can not describe it, that is the table can not be described as to what it is.

This is called 'Avaktavyam'(Indescribable).

Now look at the three stages of the Object.
