KATHUA: At the 25th day of the ongoing 78-day Yajna dedicated to the study and recitation of the four Vedas at Ved Mandir, Yol, Swami Ram Swarup Ji, Yogacharya, addressed devotees and delivered a spiritual discourse on the nature of the soul, human suffering, and the Vedic path to true happiness. He explained that every living being naturally seeks happiness and avoids sorrow, yet experiences both due to actions influenced by attachment to material elements of nature.
Swami Ji elaborated that the soul is inherently pure and conscious in nature, but when it becomes attached to materialistic desires and engages in virtuous or sinful actions, it inevitably experiences the consequences in the form of happiness and sorrow. He emphasized that liberation from suffering can only be achieved by aligning life with Vedic wisdom and righteous conduct.
Referring to Rigveda Mantra 1/10/6, Swami Ram Swarup Ji explained that the Supreme Being alone is the true source of knowledge, health, prosperity, and protection from suffering and enemies. He said that for a peaceful and meaningful life, one must seek refuge in the One Supreme God, who is the creator of the universe, and pray to Him for true happiness. He further urged devotees to approach learned Vedic scholars, understand the scriptures, and apply Vedic teachings in daily life to attain lasting well-being.
Quoting Rigveda Mantra 1/38/1, he stated that only those who gain knowledge of Yajna through Vedic wisdom and perform it with proper understanding can attain true happiness. Otherwise, he warned, life remains governed by the consequences of oneās own actions. Referring to Rigveda Mantra 1/24/24, he explained that the Supreme God is omnipresent and fully aware of all human deedsāgood and badāand grants results accordingly in the form of happiness and sorrow.
Concluding his sermon, Swami Ji stressed that the only path shown in the Vedas for attaining permanent peace is worship of God through Yajna, Yoga practice, remembrance of the Divine Name, and learning under a true Acharya. He cautioned that ignorance of righteous action leads to suffering, summarising the message with a moral reflection that one must live wisely in accordance with divine law, otherwise regret follows later, just as a bitter seed cannot yield sweet fruit.
