Next is V. V for (Master the) Vedas.
Vedas are ancient Indian scriptures that apparently contain the sum total of all ancient Indian wisdom. It was written over the years and by multiple people across the entire length and breadth of the great Indian subcontinent. Apparently, vedas is not a work of human imagination. It is what the sages heard from the divine. More on this later.

| The four vedas |
So, once I have hung my boots, I’d want to devote my time studying the vedas.
Why would I want to do it? I dont know. It just sounds unfair that this great body of work exists and while I was around on this planet, I did not spend time with it. All the more important because I believe that I am curious about the world around me and no better way to try and satiate the urge than the vedas.
Plus the vedas is like a collection of ideas and thoughts that everyone has an opinion on. And each sect would have their interpretation of the vedas. Each interpretation would make for an interesting read. Will show me different perspectives and opinions.
I wish I could leave everything and chase the knowledge and understanding like its no one’s business. Just wish I dint have to work for money!
Oh, this series by Times Wellness is a good starting point!
