Moon--The sage's choice and vedic direction

Moon--The sage's choice and vedic direction

From all vedas,upnishad and treasured scriptures,we get one clear direction about the concept of life. They equivocally direct that moon or the manas is the driver of life..Is the reason of life. We get birth because of manas. We continue in this cycle of birth because of manas and we can get out of this cycle because of manas.

Why so much importance is given to manas or moon ?? We all know that manas or moon is not the direct luminary or the energy source. Actual energy source is sun or aatman. Moon uses the energy of aatman during the fixed timezone or the kaala of one life..To complete the different works of life. So sun

and moon are given place of prominence in all vedic scriptures.

Manas has all the desires, feelings(bhavas)to carry out different works of life. Manas is closest to budhi(being it's son so having the same lineage),so directs mercury to start thinking. Mercury start using the available resources of manas to carry forward different karmas...And in the process start learning too.Manas fixes the boundary of Mercury's thought process between imaginary nodes of ketu and rahu (past memory and future possibility). 

So in a way process of life is the journey of manas in a fixed timezone. It is not the journey of karmas. We do karmas as a part of journey but journey or the logic of journey is not karma but it is manas. Manas is our bondage to life.That is why rishis gave prime importance to manas. With regular training,descipline and knowledge,we improve our manas(Saturn,Venus and Jupiter).

And more important reason of rishi's choice about manas is that whenever we choose to end this cycle of birth and death, we have to go to manas(meditation)and transcend.
