Every being that lives in the world strives to possess what it desires and avoid what it dislikes. Know that the Vedas (scriptures) instruct how to succeed in both these endeavors. The word ‘Veda’ is derived from ‘Vid’ which means ‘to know’. So, Veda means and includes all knowledge. They are concerned with both - the material and the spiritual. They clearly lay down what has to be done and what should not be done. When these prescriptions and prohibitions are followed, one can earn the good and avoid the evil.
- Divine Discourse, Leela Kaivalya Vahini.
