The Vedanta Philosophy
By Swami Abhedananda, 32 pages, Hardcover.
Swami Abhedananda says that the fundamental principle of Vedanta is oneness. There is one existence, one life, one spirit, one being, in the universe. The idea of separateness is unreal. Vedanta teaches that the underlying reality of the universe is the absolute Being, which is one. Brahman is pure existence from the objective point of view, and pure intelligence from the subjective standpoint. It is the infinite source of knowledge, it is the eternal knower of the universe. The ethics of Vedanta is entirely based upon the attainment of God consciousness.
