Although we know our weaknesses and short comings, it is good to be reminded of our greatness too. The
entire Veda can be summed up as "God is Great, you are great!". The text of the Veda is an elaborate
inspired and inspiring guidance needed to see and achieve true greatness in our lives. Here is a glimpse.
6.86.3 Hey man! you are the emperor and top among men. You are the sole leader and driver of growth.
(Vrishakamo Atharva)
10.2.31-33 This body with eight chakras and nine gates is the invincible city of the ecstatic divine ones
(souls). In that resides the soul with unlimited abilities. The shining, bright, sorrow removing, success
giving, infinitely powerful, invincible Divine Light (God) has entered and surrounded it. (Rishi Narayana)
19.25.1 Hey men! I have endowed you with a tireless first-class mind; move toward the highest shore; be
the one who takes everyone to great heights. Taking men to great heights run at high speed. (Gopatha)
20.126.1 Because people have stopped extracting the juice of knowledge they did not understand
themselves. While man has found happiness in mere wealth, my friend, you are really the greatest among
all life. (Vrishakapi -Indrani)
20.126.2 Hey man! becoming very sad you are running away from your soul. Leaving yourself you can
never find happiness through the whole universe.
20.126.3 Who has made you like a wild animal? Remember you are the greatest of all.
20.126.4 Hey great man! protect your dear Vrishakapi (jeevatma). Do not get bitten by the dogs in the
ears like a pig. You are the greatest.
20.126.5 Fickle monkey of mind has polluted my dear activities. I will cut off the head of the vile activities.
Man is the greatest among all.
20.126.6 No lady is more auspicious, more beautiful, more patient than me. Let no one be using my body
more than me. Man is the greatest among all.
20.126.7 Hey mother! whatever happens in the future let it happen; may my shining work, my strong
thighs, and my mind give me all the joy. Indra (man) is the greatest among all.
20.126.10 A lady is well perfected from time immemorial to work with man. She enables the true
knowledge to dawn and is adored. Man is the greatest of all.
20.126.11 A lady is endowed with all the richness. The husband of this great one never wastes his life and
does not shorten his life span like other animals. Man is the greatest.
20.126.15 Hey man! the way in a crowd of cows a strong bull is satisfying, may the extracted knowledge
given by God be giving peace to your heart because you are the greatest among all.
20.126.16 That man is poor whose head keeps dangling between the thighs. He is truly rich whose mind
expands. Man is the greatest.
20.126.18 Hey man! this man has been found to have destroyed his nurturing abilities; so, we can see
swords, slaughter houses, fire wood and the like all over.
20.126.19 Decorated well, knowing very well the difference between a robber and a great man, I move
around. I drink nectar of knowledge from a perfected learned person and decorate fearless wise persons.
Man is the greatest of all.
20.126.23 The wonder of man has created twenty sense organs at once. Hey man! congratulations to that
mother to whom that womb had given the trouble to make you. This highly endowed man is the greatest
of all.
