The Vedas: An Endless Ocean of Wisdom 

Traditionally, the Vedas are seen as divided into four parts by Vyasa, but some scholars believe it was a gradual process.
The Vedas are considered "eternal truths" revealed to sages, not written by any one person.
The four main parts are the Samhitas (hymns), focusing on different aspects like rituals and deities.
Beyond these, there are further sections like Brahmanas explaining rituals and Upanishads containing philosophical ideas.
The Vedas are metaphorically compared to a tree, with the Samhitas as the roots and Upanishads as the fruits offering the most valuable knowledge.
Studying the Vedas is seen as a path to understanding the universe and oneself.
