It may take many lives for a man before he knows what is best for him and is able to chalk out his own future without harming himself or others and that he is aware of the pitfalls on the way. So, it is best to trust the experiences of the sages, who are filled with compassion to illumine the path of liberation. This experience is enshrined in the Vedas. Faith in the Vedas irrigates the heart and makes it yield the harvest of the universal love.
