On the other hand, there is individual effort to apply the principles of Universal Truths - Revealations to our day to day life. To our spiritual practices. To our society. This is the realization part. Realizing the revealations. This is the application part of revealation. There are smritis - like manu smriti etc. Smriti stands for memory. Memory comes from two components.
Memony from experineces in life - society, environment... Memory comes from listening to Shrutis, listening to revealed Truths. Synthesising these two leads to realization. While Shruti is
Universal in nature, Smriti is not. Smriti is time and space bound. It involves changes as the society changes.
While Shruti can be called as Universal first principles, Smriti can be called as second principles - applied principles. While Shruti can not be amended, Smirti can be amended depending on the time and location.
