WAYS OF ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE

 

    There are two ways of acquiring knowledge.  The first is by utilizing our senses, mind and intellect to explore, discover and conclude about the nature of the Truth i.e. called as ascending process. Second is the process where we simply receive the knowledge from the proper or accurate source i.e. called descending process.

 

    If we take the first process of gaining of knowledge is integrally predisposed to  imperfections, because our senses mind and intellect are made from the material energy, they are imperfect and limited. Hence we never completely sure about the exactness and dependability of the knowledge we gain through them.

          For example if we took the ionized  and acknowledged scientific theories, of past are overthrown and supper seeded by newer one, if we look in to the precedent of law those are also over ruled by newer one. Hence is short the knowledge which we acquire by Ascending Process  have lac of the accuracy ratio.

If we take the Second process of gaining knowledge, the Descending process is completely free from lac of accuracy. Because when we got an information from a perfect source, we can be assured that it is pristine.  The only principle  here is that the source from which we received the knowledge must be dependable and trustworthy.

The VEDAS are one such knowledge.
