TEACHINGS
Guna and Dosha
How can the Vedas recommend sense enjoyments to people, who, ignorant of their purpose, are already wandering in the path of misery and falling into blinding darkness, and who follow the teachings of the Vedas (Karma Kanda)? Why should the Vedas teach them attachment to such things? Some ignorant people say so without knowing the purport of the Vedas. They talk of the flowery descriptions of the fruits of works mentioned in the Karma Kanda of the Vedas. But those who know the true meaning of the Vedas do not talk about the promise of fruits. [The view that the Veda teaches the way to the attainment of Svarga or fleeting pleasures is incorrect. The real purpose of the Veda is to teach the way to final emancipation.]
