A page from the chapter on Vedas from the book 'The Great Hindu Tradition' :Some more 'COMMANDMENTS' from Vedas:* Learning is possible only for the awake, the alert and the conscious. * Diligently follow the path of the ancestors and you shall achieve greatness. * Do not slacken when performing good deeds. * To realize God, hear only about Him; think only about Him; and meditate only on Him. Some precious edicts from the Vedas that give us useful advice on leading the good life: * Direct your efforts first on acquiring knowledge of the Vedas before seeking any other learning. * Do not drink. Do not make drunkards your acquaintances. * Do not waste time looking for reasons to learn the Vedas. You do not need any motives for Veda adhyayana. It is your duty, no less. * Avoid words of negativity. * Memorize the Vedas and internalize the knowledge. * Learn Vedas only from a Guru. * Never allow more than three successive generations in your family to miss the study of the Vedas. * Learning and teaching Vedas is a form of intense worship.
