Some'COMMANDMENTS' in the VEDASA page from the book 'The Great Hindu Tradition'From the omnipresent Vedas we derive many invaluable directions and guidelines, which are authoritative in nature. * Behave in such a way that Lord loves you. That is more important than your loving Him (Taittireya Samhita)* Don’t be a debtor. (Acchidram, Taittireya Samhita)* Be firm as a rock. (Ekagni kandam)* Treat Brahmanas on par with Devas. ( 1st kanda; Taittireya Samhita)
* During the monthly periods of women keep away from them ( 5th kanda, Taittireya Samhita)* Give your wife the right status and treat her with esteem. * Do not get upset over abuse heaped on you by someone. In fact their abuse indirectly helps you, because in a sense it is absolution of your past karma. You should learn to welcome it ( 2nd Ashtakam, Braahmanam) * If you have to receive dana (get a donation), receive it only from a deserving person who has got it by the right means. ( 1st Ashtakam, Braahmanam) * Speak only good words. ( Aranyaka)* Do not criticise the food you take. Do not waste food. And cook food in abundant quantities so you will never have to refuse a mendicant. ( Bruguvalli Upanishad,Yajur Veda) [the Veda adds “ tad vratam†- i.e., make this a firm resolve.] Attachments:
