Virtue is not sufficient

Few Notes-

1. Rewarding virtue is costly 

2. Only few people with virtue can be rewarded with resources 

3. Doing so, resources pile up with few people

4. Lesser resources will force remaining people to act in not so virtuous way, as life is more important than way of life

5. Idea of virtue itself brings the imbalance in way of life for larger sections of society 

What is the basis of virtue wished by some philosopher? Without help of Vedantic reality this whole idea is nothing but wishful list of some childish brain.

Vedantic reality is reality of life which is exactly present as one in all. When all is one and one is all in its essence there is not even need of being so called virtuous. Nobody needs to be virtuous as it is basic for life. Sole idea of life is to realize life itself. There is no need of xyz will, morality, reasoning etc. Following some artificial conception of reality leads to baseless circular movements rather than progression towards actual thing. 

Everything promoting life as only reality should be promoted and rest should be in accordance with it.

Hindu Jurisprudence- Smriti And some property law

I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...

Dharma - Nyaya

(To clear my thought process ) Dharma is that which bears, that which provides stability to a thing, a person, or a nation in motion. Nyaya is specific to the individual; A person who abides in Dharma may still be affected by the Adharma of another who fails to uphold it then the State/Society must inject Nyaya to tha specific person or group or even state. Jurisprudence (in my limited understanding and information ) could not ditinguish between these two concepts and confused it with morale, divine rule, command, society, economics etc. These two are related, but Dharma is what guides the Naya but here it has nothing to do with legal system, it is independent and move with truth, whereas Naya alone requires legal system. Hence, Jurisprudence has long divorced its essence of Dharma (somehow natural school using reason could hover around truth) and focus on legal system alone. ..................

Vedas- The Ultimate -Darshan lets not say Philosophy it will be injustice to Great Sages

Vedas -Nobody knows what is it, it is praised by Sages of later dates hence people still praise it -I have not read any piece of paper (except the Secret of Vedas by Sri Aurobindo) which relates Vedas to Pshychology (which I think is still inadaquate (daring to challenge legend in my own foolishness)). 1.Some recites it like parrots 2. Some criticize it like Vedic sages were just fancy poets with lots of imagination 3. Some give it credit to later Vedantic development as part of Methods of Knowledge, which means Vedas are cave men and Vedanta were modern men 4. Some laugh about it since they worship Sun Moon lightening air etc. etc. Let me go one by one 1. reciting with full faith and accuracy have some benefits but it will limit to the level of brain only and that too for soothing purposes and other, which will produces mechanical results (results are bound to happen) 2. too poor may be who translated and criticizes it must lack knowledge of Vedangas, they were expert in musical no...
