It is said that the import of the Vedas be-
comes clear to one who is not only a sincere de- :
votee ofthe Lord but also a sincere servitor of i
the spiritual master. The spiritual master knows :
the purpose of the Vedas, practices it personally,
and teaches the disciple of the true light of the
Vedas. The supreme spiritual master, Lord Sri
Krsna, teaches us the import of the Vedas in the
following verse of the Bhagavaa-gita. }
dvav imau purusau loke
ksaras caksara eva ca .
ksarah sarvani bhitani
ktitastho ‘ksara ucyate
“There are two classes of beings, the fallible
and the infallible. In the material world every
entity is fallible, and in the spiritual world every
entity is called infallible.” (Bg. 15.16) f
The Lord says that in the Vedas it is mentioned |
that there are two kinds of living beings, called the :
fallible and the infallible. Those living beings who
are materially encaged are all fallible, whereas
those who are not conditioned and who are eter-
nally situated in the spiritual realm are called
- aksara, or infallible. The Lord then says:
uttamah purusas tv anyah
paramatmety udahrtah )
vo loka-travam avi§yva {
bibhartv avyaya isvarah
“Besides these two. there is the greatest living
personality, the Lord Himself, who has entered
into these worlds and is maintaining them.” (Bg.
15.17) ‘
