Story of Nachiketa-Part II

-Removed-

That's not quite true.There are many different aspects of Vedic lterature. They cover not only religon and philisophy, but a great range of everyday-life teachings. Not all of which you have to be "intelligent" to understand. There are many everyday, simple tachings such as in the areas of health/medicine, agriculture,etc.

Is that the conclusion or does the story go on too long, ( to long for what is appropiate for this forum)?

*bump* for rvsakhadeo

Yourself and FMF have totally misunderstood me. The upanishad uses the words " intelligence " and " intelligent people " as that quality of those who are not misled by the manifest reality. Those whose curiosity is like Nachiketa's curiosity. Nothing to do with the IQ of any poster here. Let us not create issues where there are none. Pl.give a thought to what is contained in the story.

I think we have understood you perfectly.

"Vedic philosophy requires a person to have a certain level of intelligence in order to enter in."

Perhaps you were right, as I re-read you did say "vedic philosophy" and not just "the vedas".

I am not an expert, far from it on vedic lterature. I'm sure both dasa and rvsakhadeo are more knowledgable than me about the vedas.

The difference is that "vedic philosohpy" is but one branch of the Vedas.

Now you got me curious too. Which part of the vedas were you referring to,Dasa?
