Abstract
I have been studying Rig Veda for number of years, yet it would be presumptuous on my part if I say that I have known veda., let alone experienced it. Veda is Wisdom and not Knowledge. Knowledge can be known but Wisdom has to be experienced. It is easy to communicate what one knows, it is difficult to communicate experience, awareness. Therefore, I say I have attempted to know but I am not yet bold enough to say that I have experienced, am aware of it. A man of Wisdom does not speak and should not speak, he remains silent, he should remain silent. That silence would not be the silence of the grave yard, but the silence of the mountains, of the rivers, of the breeze who are aware of the existence yet find no need to speak about it. It is the lively silence. It is the silence when you drop your memories, your thoughts, your knowledge. In that very silence there is a roar like that of a lion awakened from its stupor.
