Best vedas books according to redditors

Welcome to the club! People come to the occult, to mysticism, because "regular" life is insufficient. It doesn't explain what we are. It doesn't include a "why". My recommendation for your first book to read is the Tao Te Ching. I recommend this translation, by Victor Mair:
https://www.amazon.com/Tao-Te-Ching-Classic-Integrity/dp/055334935X

Here's how his translation begins:

>The person of superior integrity

>>does not insist upon his integrity;

>For this reason, he has integrity.

>The person of inferior integrity

>>never loses sight of his integrity;

>For this reason, he lacks integrity.

    

>The person of superior integrity takes no action,

>>nor has he a purpose for acting.

>The person of superior humaneness takes action,

>>but has no purpose for acting.

>The person of superior righteousness takes action,

>>and has a purpose for acting.

>The person of superior etiquette takes action,

>>but others do not respond to him;

>Whereupon he rolls up his sleeves and coerces them.

It seems a little weird to want to buy books to try and discredit some random person online who will forget all about this conversation in a couple of days, but sure, whatever.

Nag Hammadi Scriptures

Dhammapada

Upanishads

Baghavad Gita

Mahabharata

And this volume of the Vedas, though as I said I haven't read through it yet.

I also have this copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which I haven't gotten around to yet.

Now, once again, please tell me where in the Nag Hammadi scriptures it says that you spend 1000 years in a Devachan before reincarnating.

I would recommend this one by Victor Mair, a respected Sinologist. His commentary is illuminating, and you will see how some of these apparent paradoxes are resolved.

"In 1990, the noted sinologist Victor H. Mair translated the Ma-wang-tui version as he considered this earliest known version (by 500 years) to be far more authentic than the most commonly translated texts."
