認識生命．享受過程．活在當下古代的印度經文通稱《吠陀Vedas》。因此《博伽梵歌》來自《吠陀》。然而什麼是《吠陀》？字根vid代表了知識。根據印度教徒，《吠陀》是神聖的經典。任何表述真理的經文都是吠陀。吠陀又稱為思魯替（shruti），意思是「悟道」。智者能從冥想中「悟」到真理，它們不是從書上讀來的，也不是從別人那兒聽來的，它們不是某人寫的，也沒有發表日期。這就是為什麼思魯替的內容，被稱為山那塔那Sanatana Dharna定律，又稱做永恆的真理。即使在今日的印度，這個哲學仍被認做山那塔那教規，而不是印度教教理。印度教（Hindu） 這個用字是不正確的，這個標簽是外國人來印度後，見到印度河流域的優美文化，而把那裡的人稱作印度（Indu），之後演變為印度教徒（Hindus）。這個道理是「悟」出來的，你也可說真理顯示出來了，或者被瞭解了。這類真理不是僅僅涉及印度，因為真理是沒有國界的: 它是宇宙性的。所有進入接受狀態的人，都能得到同樣的視覺或顯示。這就是為什麼說所有的宗教，最後都是萬流歸宗。或許表達方式因著年紀、人種或地域，而有少許不同，然而背後的真理是不變的。不論是誰教它，摩西、耶穌，菩薩、穆罕默德、商羯羅（九世紀時的一個印度教哲人）或者奎師納，所談的真理都是相同的。那些真理一再傳承下去，因此這個經文被稱為思魯替（悟道）－老師說學生聽。這也是為什麼泰米爾人稱思魯提為非寫的經書Elutha Marai。一段時間之後，很正常的，腦力會退化，能量會減弱。學生們所學漸漸流失，記憶只能維持一段時間，然後就逐漸忘記，從那之後他們就開始作筆記了。這是為什麼《吠陀》變成手寫的經書，在那以前都是口耳相傳。這也是為什麼研讀《吠陀經》，會發現像是讀筆記，有時它們讀起來，像是語無倫次。你在做筆記時，旁邊有人講話干擾，大概只有你知道寫的是什麼。總之經過這些筆記，真理傳承下去，並加以擴充，而他們的學生們，又做自己的筆記，如此一代又一代。《吠陀經》涵蓋了整個宇宙及它一切的活動。它不僅僅提到心靈這個東西，還有理論上對智慧的探討，另外還有每天接觸到的事務。《吠陀經》對生活中的不同層面，做了解說: 譬如布拉馬恰亞brahmacharya（學生或獨身主義者），格里哈斯塔grihastha（一家之主），和凡那普拉思塔vanaprastha（隱士），以及他們各個應有的生活方式。它提到如何辦理婚禮事宜，如何行
