Ekam Sad-Vipraa Bahudhaa Vadanti
(RigVeda 1.164.46)

This verse is commonly understood as “Eeshvar (God) is one and that there are many paths that lead to God”. And, the various interpretations give rise to further divergence instead of unity.

Indram Mitram Varunam-Agnim-aahur-atho divyah sa suparṇo garutmaan,
Ekam sad-vipraa bahudhaa vadanty-agnim yamam maatarishvaanam-aahuh.
The mantra states that Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, Garuda… are all names of the One-and-Only Eeshvar (God). Each of these names depicts one of the many characteristics, actions and attributes of Eeshvar.

Nowhere does the mantra refer to “the many paths…”
This fact is also seen in daily life: someone is called by his name, son, grandson, husband, father, uncle, grandfather …etc. depending on the relationship with the person calling him; that one person may be referred as a cook, cleaner, driver while cooking his meals, cleaning his house, driving his car, an employee by his employer, a senior by his subordinates.
Imagine the chaos if each of the relatives starts arguing that his/her relationship to that one-and-only person is exclusive.

In fact, the Vedic (Hindu) Dharma spells out the way to realize Eeshvar (God) in terms of the four Purushaartha: Dharma (righteous living), Artha (righteous earnings, Kaama (righteous enjoyment of the righteous earnings), and Moksha (salvation, liberation from the cycle of birth and death to be in the eternal bliss of Eeshvar).

Deeper analysis reveals that the one truth is “Dharma (righteousness) and Adharma (immorality) determine our Karma and cause bo***ge to Samsara, rebirth of the Atman (soul) repeatedly until it attains Moksha.

The “Bahudhaa vadanti” part is which give rise various questions needs to be understood in its context: Ekam, One-and-Only; Sat, existent; Vipraa, the learned; Bahudhaa (numerous); Vadanti (call), thus Learned persons call the One-and-Only Existent by numerous names.

कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती
Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQVfMO3uiNA

लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती
Lehron se dar kar nauka paar nahi hoti
Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti….

नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है
चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है
मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है
चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है
आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती
Nanhi cheenti jab dana lekar chalti hai
chadati deewaron par sau baar fisalti hai
mann ka vishwas ragon mein sahas banta hai
chad kar girna, gir kar chadna na akharta hai
akhir uski mehnat bekar nahi hoti
koshish karne waalon ki haar nahi hoti….

डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है
जा जाकर खाली हाथ लौटकर आता है
मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में
बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती
Dubkiyan sindu mein gota khor lagata hai
ja ja kar khali haath laut aata hai
milte na sehej hi moti pani mein
behta duna utsah issi hairaani mein
mutthi uski khali har baar nahi hoti
Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti….

असफलता एक चुनौती है, स्वीकार करो
क्या कमी रह गई, देखो और सुधार करो
जब तक न सफल हो, नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम
संघर्ष का मैदान छोड़ मत भागो तुम
कुछ किये बिना ही जय जयकार नहीं होती
कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती
Asafalta ek chunauti hai sweekar karo
kya kami reh gayi dekho aur sudhaar karo
jab tak na safal ho neend chain ki tyago tum
sangharshon ka maidaan chhod mat bhago tum
kuch kiye bina hi jai jai kaar nahi hoti
Koshish karne walon ki haar nahi hoti…
