Ahmadis and the Aryas of Qadian — Page 59
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as 59 You tried to hide the Vedas after much humiliation, In the end the hidden secret is revealed as this! The one who does not possess power is Ishar [god] of nothing, Is this the champion against the True Religion ? This Ishar of the Hindus is no worse than the idols, In truth, by God, he is just another idol. We have not concocted these matters from our fancy, This is what we have found, o dear ones, from the Vedas. 1 The nature of every human detests such a thing, Then why has this taken form in the hearts of the Aryas? These are the commands of the Vedas of which this is an example, This is what the Aryas gained from the Vedas. 1 In this context the word Vedas refers to the teaching which the followers of Arya Samaj, in their understanding, have published with regards to the Vedas. Otherwise, it ought to be remembered that we refer the reality of the Vedas to God Almighty. We do not know what these people added to the Vedas and what they took away. Since there are numerous faiths in India and the Punjab which claim to adhere to the Vedas, how can we attribute the shortcoming of a particular sect to the Vedas? Furthermore, it is also proven that the Vedas have been interpolated. Thus, owing to this alteration a hope for any good to come from it is futile. (Author)
