Modern science without God consciousness 3.
„Everything
animate or inanimate that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the
Lord. One should therefore accept only those things necessary for himself,
which are set aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things,
knowing well to whom they belong.
Vedic
knowledge is infallible because it comes down through the perfect disciplic
succession of spiritual masters, beginning with the Lord Himself. Since He
spoke the first word of Vedic knowledge, the source of this knowledge is
transcendental. The words spoken by the Lord are called apauruṣeya, which
indicates that they are not delivered by any mundane person. A living being who
lives in the mundane world has four defects: (1) he is certain to commit
mistakes; (2) he is subject to illusion; (3) he has a propensity to cheat
others; and (4) his senses are imperfect. No one with these four imperfections
can deliver perfect knowledge. The Vedas are not produced by such an imperfect
creature. Vedic knowledge was originally imparted by the Lord into the heart of
Brahmā, the first created living being, and Brahmā in his turn disseminated
this knowledge to his sons and disciples, who have handed it down through
history.”

Isopanisad 1, Translation and Purport)
