The verses of the Veda exist in the collapse of fullness (the kshara of 'A') in the transcendental field, the Self, In which reside all the Devas, the impulses of creative intelligence, the Laws of Nature responsible for the whole manifest universe. He whose awareness is not open to this field, what can the verses accomplish for him? Those who know this level of reality are established in evenness, wholeness of life. Âk Veda 1.164.39

Go together, speak together, know your minds to be functioning together from a common source, in the same manner as the impulses of creative intelligence, in the beginning, remain together united near the source. Integrated is the expression of knowledge, an assembly is significant in unity, united are their minds while full of desires. For you I make use of the integrated expression of knowledge. By virtue of unitedness and by means of that which remains to be united, I perform action to generate wholeness of life. United be your purpose, harmonious be your feelings, collected be your mind, in the same way as all the various aspects of the universe exist in togetherness, wholeness. Âk Veda 10.191.2-4

Together with the intellect, it takes a direction, and engages the mind. The mind strikes the fire of the body, which in turn drives out the air. The air, moving within the lungs, causes the emergence of subtle sound, which becomes sound—svaram—the reverberation of the Self. Påˆin¥ya Shikshå 6-7

In the whole of Råma’s realm there was no one who suffered from bodily pains, ill fortune or evil circumstances. Every man loved his neighbor and, contented with the state of life to which he had been born, conformed to sound morality and the teaching of scripture. The four pillars of religion were established throughout the world. No one even dreamt of sin. Men and women alike were devoted to Råma’s worship and enjoyed the blessings of highest heaven. There was no sickness and no premature death. Everyone was trim and sound of body. No one was in poverty, in sorrow or in distress. No one was ignorant or unlucky. All men and women were naturally good and pious, clever and intelligent. Everyone appreciated the merits of his neighbor and was himself learned and wise. Everyone was grateful for kindness and sincerely prudent.

The trees in the forest were ever full of flowers and fruit. The elephant and the lion dwelt peacefully together. Birds and deer forgot their animosities and lived in great harmony with one another. The cooing of the birds and the herds of deer fearlessly roaming the woods made a charming scene. The air was cool, fragrant and splendidly mild. Bees laden with honey made a pleasant humming. Creepers and trees yielded their sweetness on being asked. The earth was ever clothed with crops. Mines of jewels of every description were disclosed in the mountains, and the world acknowledged its king to be in truth the Universal Spirit. Every river flowed with an abundance of refreshing water—cool, pure and delicious to the taste. The sea remained within its bounds, casting forth pearls on its shore for men to gather. The ponds were thick with lotuses, and every quarter of the world was supremely happy. The moon flooded the earth with her radiance; the sun gave as much heat
