A journey into Vedanta.
-Swami Probuddhananda
Discussion helps us to understand and realize the essence of Advaita Vedanta and make our lives better.
The journey of spirituality though has a beginning, yet, it doesn't have any end. The only thing which is true here is just to flow or March on. "He is beyond mind and speech". That, "He is"..While moving forward, sometimes it appears that we have accomplished the whole journey, that we had come to the end where everything immerses into an absolute unity. But, the next moment, another subtle world reveals itself with all its depth and shows us how ignorant we were and with a realization that we hadn't even started yet. The journey which was thought to have ended had actually just began. There are some who consider to have just started the journey after the attainment of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. What is truth? Truth is the self, real and absolute which cannot be negated after negation of all. What is then the world, or this body, or the mind or ego? The consciousness of world is the world, the consciousness of body the body, mind the mind and the consciousness of ego is the ego. Consciousness of the Self therefore is the Self, ultimate reality, Truth, Enlightenment.
