The original purpose of the Vedas (Mundaka Upaniṣad #10)

Both the original purpose of the Vedas and the path of fruitive sacrifices come from the Lord, just as all living beings, fonts of sustenance, and spiritual qualities and practices. The material bodies of the living entities are very complicated machines, composed of the senses and mind, intelligence, vital air, etc., and all of these were created by the Lord, together with the sense objects. In other words, the Lord is the creator of both the world and the means we use to explore this world and He is present in all these creations as the Supersoul. He also created the different types of duties prescribed in the scriptures by which one can progress in spiritual realization.One who comes to know this Supreme Lord, situated inside the heart, can cut the knots of ignorance that bind him to this world.
