“The Vedas, after all, were written by people who remembered a radical experience, which must have taken place on earth at a given moment, as an example of what was to come.”[1]
- “Satyendra: It is said that the Tantras are as old as the Vedas.
Sri Aurobindo: The principle of Tantra may be as old as the Vedas, but the known Tantras are a later development.
- Purani: The Vedas are regarded as the highest authority in India. So everything wants to peg itself on to the Vedas.
Why is there this passion for antiquity? Truth is Truth whenever it may be found.
- Satyendra: The Vedas are considered eternal.
Because the source of their inspiration is eternal.
- Satyendra: Somebody has said that the eternal Veda is in everybody's heart.
- Purani: You are quoting Sri Aurobindo to himself. (Laughter)”[2][3]
