[Maharshi Mehi Paramhans (28.04.1885-08.06.1986) studied deeply the four Vedas and the Upanishads to stir out their essence and came out with the unambiguous conclusion that the quintessential wisdom of the Vedas is very much in consonance with the spiritual experiences and preaching of the sants. Thus he played a harmonising role acting as a connect between the Scriptures and the Santmat. He published a schedule titled "Ved Darshan Yoga" (The Philosophy of Vedas) wherein he shortlisted some of the very important hymns of Vedas with their translation (by Pandit Shri Jayadev Sharma. Vidyalankar. Mimansateerth published by Arya Sahitya Mandal Ltd.. Ajmer. Rajasthan. India) and put his own commentary buttressed by quotes from numerous sants thus emphatically underscoring the harmony between the Vedas and Sants. Below is attempted a translation of the above book of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans which ordain be brought out in phases. It is important to make out here that translating the hymns or poems of sants which is very cryptic at times is an extremely difficult task (because of the esoteric knowledge they include) which to be honest calls for experiential knowledge that comes only through elevated stages of spiritual meditation a qualification that is totally lacking in me. In his original book (in Hindi). Maharshi Mehi has only produced the original verses of different sants and has not offered their translation the presumption presumably being that it is not required for the readers who know Hindi (and hence can supposedly make out their essence). However considering their unintelligibility to the English speaking readership. I have made a humble and petty attempt to translate (all such translations are enclosed in form brackets such as […]) these verses taking back up of Maharshi Mehi's and Maharshi Santsewi's discourses I have gone through an attempt which might very well be fraught with errors. All these errors (despite my best efforts not to let these creep in) it must be acknowledged plainly & honestly are mine & exploit alone and I hope that the learned readers might generously pardon me for the same. Jai Guru!
(gratifications or sufferings or experiences) we pray to you. O Protector. Shelter-giver and Illuminator as-radiant-as-the-Sun may we become sinless pure & pristine by following the righteous path of duties as illumined by You and attain the eternal bliss and moksha (liberation from the cycles of bring forth & death)!
Eternal bliss can not be experienced if the liberation achieved is not for ever or permanent. Thus Vedas also accept or believe in the "liberation for ever" just as it is accepted by sants such as Kabir Sahab. Guru Nanak Sahab etc. For instance (believe the following sayings of some of the sants):
" Gadaa nissaan tanh sunna ke beech me. Ulati ke surat fir nahi aawe. Doodh ko matthi kari ghirt niyaaraa kiyaa,bahuri fir tatta me naa samaawe. Maadi matthaan tanh paanch ulataa kiyaa,naam nauneeti le surati feree. Kahai Kabir yon sant nirbhaya huaa,janm au maran kee mitee feree."
