The Vedic view of the universe and all entities in it, is that of energy and matter, whether it is a star, a galaxy, a plant, animal or human. And there are different energies, which in humans manifests as follows -
The Vedic view of the universe and all entities in it, is that of energy and matter, whether it is a star, a galaxy, a plant, animal or human. And there are different energies, which in humans manifests as follows -
the higher level energies (purusha) that manifests varna like wisdom, nobility, industry, talent and so on that is the source of our orientation, and the material energies (prakriti) that manifests triguna, that is the source of our motivation.
It also views energies as perceptible and imperceptible or subtle (read other dimensional, the concept of loka). And the Gayatri Mantra (Rigveda 3.62.10) asserts that only the source of all energy in the universe, the unknowable infinite brahman,
is worthy of worship (and gives a technique to experience this).
However, to experience this, you need to assuage (manage, control) numerous other energies in the body - emotion (indra), thought (vayu), rage (rudra) - and use consciousness (agni)
However, to experience this, you need to assuage (manage, control) numerous other energies in the body - emotion (indra), thought (vayu), rage (rudra) - and use consciousness (agni)
as the intermediary to “speak with” the “source”.
And it uses natural phenomena like weather (thunder, rain, etc), wind, storms etc as analogies for these energies so we have a way to think about them.

The Veda converts this entire process into a physical ritual - the yajna - to explain its mechanics.
Spiritual traditions are entirely about practice and experience. No theory, no books, no institutions, no creed, no fundamentals are needed as all humans come
