3
Discuss in groups, then see answers according to the Vedic texts
Q: What is the origin of the Constitution of the Universe? How did it get created? A: The Constitution of the Universe is not man-made. It is the unified field of natural law, which is eternal (nitya) and uncreated (apaurusheya).
4
Q: What are the laws of the Constitution of the Universe, and where are they written?
A: The laws of the Constitution of the Universe are the laws of nature — the qualities and impulses of pure consciousness, eternally encoded within the field of Being.
5
Q: How does anyone come to know the Constitution of the Universe?
A: The Constitution of the Universe is known through cognition — the direct perception of the deepest impulses of natural law as expressions of one’s own consciousness.
6
Q: How would you define the Constitution of the Universe, in just a few words?
A: The Constitution of the Universe is the field of Pure Knowledge. It is known as Veda.

Supersymmetry “The elegance of rich, complex, and diverse phenomena emerging from a simple set of universal laws is at least part of what physicists mean when they invoke the term “beautiful.” —Brian Greene, The Elegant Universe
16
Q: What process causes the blueprint to manifest into the actual universe?
A: The universe “vibrates” into existence through the self-interacting mechanics of natural law.
17
Self-Referral Vibration
Knower Rishi Knowing Devata Known Chhandas Self-Referral Vibration Pure Consciousness is Conscious of Itself This is the Unified State of Knower, Process of Knowing, Known Samhita

3-in-1, self-referral dynamics,
Think of it like this: When you look in the mirror you are simultaneously aware of yourself as the observer (standing in front of the mirror), as the observed (your reflection in the mirror), and as the process of observation (looking at yourself). 3-in-1, self-referral dynamics, self-interacting mechanics of natural law

The infinite play and display of the field of consciousness, coherently unfolding in sequential layers of manifestation unmanifest subtle more and more manifest most I surf these waves Knower Rishi Knowing Devata Known Chhandas Transcendental Blueprint of Creation Pure Consciousness is conscious of every grain of its own nature
21
Q: Who are the guardians of the Constitution of the Universe, and what do they do?
The knowledge of Veda has been preserved down the generations for centuries, even millenia, within the families of Vedic pandits. The pandits express the laws of nature as speech. This is the ancient oral tradition of Vedic recitation.
22
Yatha Pinde Tatha Brahmande
Example: Yatha Pinde Tatha Brahmande As is the point, so is the whole. As is the individual, so is the universe. –Upa-Veda
23
Prayatna Saithilyananta Sama Pattibhyam
Example: Prayatna Saithilyananta Sama Pattibhyam Asana is perfected through relaxation of effort and the dawning of unboundedness. –Yoga Sutra 2.47
24
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
Example: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam “The world is my family” –Maha Upanishad 6.71
25
Q: What is the purpose of recitation of the Constitution of the Universe?
A: The Vedic Literature is recited in order to enliven natural law — not just through intellectual query into the meaning of the words, but primarily through the direct phenomenon of sound resonance.
26
Conclusion: Your Own Wholeness Statement
27
Extra example: Rk Veda The first expression of the Veda: AGNIM
A open sound: infinity, totality, the Unified Field K/G closed throat: collapse to its own point N nothing is lost: infinity is in every point I self-referral loop: infinity knows itself M continuing hum: the eternal story of creation
