YOL (HIMACHAL PRADESH), June 17: On the 67th day of the ongoing 78-day Yajna dedicated to the study and practice of all four Vedas at Ved Mandir, Yol, renowned Vedic scholar and Yoga Acharya Swami Ram Swarup Ji delivered a discourse emphasizing the significance of time as explained in Atharvaveda, Kanda 19, Sukta 53.
Addressing devotees, Swami Ji explained that in the Vedic mantra, Kaal (Time) has been metaphorically described as a horse. Just as a horse continues to move forward, time also moves ceaselessly. The mantra teaches that wise and knowledgeable people ride this horse of time, making proper use of every moment. Time, he said, is immensely powerful, all-pervasive, and eternal. By utilizing time effectively, human beings can accomplish their goals and achieve success in life.
Swami Ji stressed that not even a single moment should be wasted. Instead, individuals should continuously strive for advancement in both spiritualism and materialism, maintaining a balanced approach to life. He further elaborated that the mantra symbolically describes a pot filled with wealth and prosperity placed upon the horse of time, which continuously moves forward carrying it.
Explaining the deeper meaning of this symbolism, Swami Ji said that those who move in harmony with time and use it wisely through dedicated effort are able to attain prosperity and success. Conversely, those who succumb to laziness fail to progress with time and are left behind as time moves ahead.
He emphasized that studying the Vedas is essential for understanding the true value and influence of time. According to Vedic wisdom, only learned and enlightened individuals fully appreciate the importance of time and therefore spend their entire lives productively, pursuing both spiritual and material development. Such individuals, he said, attain happiness, longevity, prosperity, and ultimately realize God.
