The great revealed scripture known as the Crest Jewel of Discrimination is herein scrutinized from the standpoint of its enlightening conclusion on the profound subject of Vedanta. Nothing is left untold, from the loftiest nondual principles on out to the nature of the luminary who embodies and transmits them — as related by one of the most authentic of all nondualists that the world has ever seen.

The True Meaning of Moksha/Mukti #104
Opinions and theories about the nature of freedom abound, from personal to political, from enjoyment of leisure to the freedom to express oneself, from the power to restrict to the ability to commit violence on others — and, of course, the freedom to do anything one wants. But all of these forms of so-called freedom are relative, are found in relativity. They suffer their opposite side, called failure and bondage. Mother India has always known the true meaning of Freedom. First, it is spiritual in nature, and secondly, it is the very nature of the Soul. In other words, it cannot be created, produced, or generated. It does not come about in time, nor happen over the course of evolution. It is not a product of transformation, nor does it manifest on account of purification or practice. It is a principle always and already at hand. It knows no bondage for it is “Ever-Free, Never Bound.”
Vedanta, Theology, and Science #51
Whether a follower of religion, a student of philosophy, or an aspirant after Enlightenment utilizing the many inner tools and practices of spirituality, the seeker today is often confused and overwhelmed by contrasting views in the world around him/her. The three most prominent views in terms of convincing authority are science for the modern man, religion for the devotional person, and Vedanta for the free thinker and transcendentalist. Evolution, Genesis, and Nonorigination, respectively, are the main topics of these three high-minded schools of thought. When put side by side in comparison with one another, interesting juxtapositions get noticed, and doubts and confusion can be set aside for all time.
The Four States of Consciousness & Seven Attributes of Turiya #34
The nature of the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states of humanity has been studied by Indian seers for millennia. They have not just examined it from the waking state, like with wires and machines, but from within dreams and deep sleep, and in meditation on the fourth state beyond these three as well. The result has been the discovery of mankind’s inner nature, from wherein all the physical universe has sprung — as projection of mind rather than creation by God. In short, the entire Kingdom of Heaven lies within us, and only a very small and ever changing portion of it lies outside.
The Incomparable Views of an Advaita Vedantist #177
The consummate nondualist looks upon Brahman, the mind, and the world in an entirely different way than other beings do. This fact is clarified here in this rare offering of how the mature transcendentalist views all facets of life, always doing so from the perspective of Eternal Life. The Unchanging Reality is the polestar here, which sees everything in relativity revolving around It, and not the other way around, as others see it. This tough but true scrutiny of the Truth-seer’s unique and all-pervasive realization is the very substance of which Advaita Vedanta is made.
