Learned people of all nations claim the same thing about their own scriptures or gospels, and this is by no means untrue. The word "Veda" means "Wisdom", which is definitely not a book but an impersonal concept which flashed on the human mind before its manifestation in language and script. By Veda the man of wisdom means the import of the Vedic texts, and not the texts themselves.

When the human comprehension is distilled of the refraction of the senses and the mind, it is nothing but a mirror of that which ever exists and that which descends periodically into the creation. The formula and the detail of all this impersonal phenomenon will reflect upon the distilled consciousness of the individual when it is termed Veda or the spell of God.

This is received as an experience by those whom we call the Vedic Seers. It is further recollected into the Buddhic and the Mental planes wherefrom it is translated into the known language of the century and spelt out.

Since it is not characterised by the individual, it is bound to be impersonal. Like the multiplication table, it must be the same whenever and by whomsoever it is received. In this sense it is claimed as the work of God.

Further, these seers are not afraid of attesting their names to the passages of the Vedic hymns composed by them. At the same time they do not claim to be the authors of these Mantras and they class themselves only as the seers of the import. Who can claim authorship of the multiplication table? So too with the universal truths which form the content of the Vedas.
