' SABCL Vol. 9, p. 245. (Cf: Sanskrit transiation,$~ W, $ t ) One might almost ray that ancient India war created by the Veda and Upanishadl and that the visions of in6plred seen made a people. That sublime poetry with its revelation of godhead and the joy and power of life and truth and immortality or its revelation of the secrets of the self and the powers of it3 manifestation in man and the universe and of man's return to self-knowledge got into the very blood and mind and life of the race and made itself the fountain-head of all that incessant urge to spirituality which has been its distinguishing gifl and cultural motive.

'' The Upanishads, p. 125 - 126 The theory of the Mantra is that it is a word of powa born out of the secrd depths of our baing where it has been brooded upon by a deeper consciousness than the mental, framed in the hem and not originally constructed by the intcllcet, held in the mind again concentrated on by the wlking montd consciousness and then thrown out silently or vocally - the silent word is perhaps held more potant than the vocal -precisely for the work of creation. The Mantra can not only create new subjective states in ourselves, alter our psychical baing. reveal knowledge and faculties we did not before possess, cm not only produce similar results in otha minds than that of the user, but can produce vibrations in the mend and vital atmosphere which result in effects, in actions and even in the production of mania1 fonns on the physical plane.

HOR, p. vi, "The great interest of the Rgveda is, in fact, historical rather than poetical."

' Ibid, p. ix.

"All modem scholars will allow that many hymns are dark as Lhe darkest oracle, that, as Professor Max Muller says, there am whole verses which, as yet, yield no sense whatever, and words and meaning of which we can only guess. ... so, in the explanation of the Veda complete success, if ever attainable, can be attained only by the labours of generations of scholars."

"Sri Aurobindo: Archives and Research, Dec. 1985, p.168. (Cf: 3 W, 9. t? ) The recovery of the perfect truth of the V& is thmfow no+ mndy a desideratum for our modem intellectual curiosity, but a practical necessity for the future of the human ram.
