The Vedanta philosophy propagates the idea that the ultimate reality is uncreated and all-pervading. Some of the ideas of Vedanta philosophy also resonate with modern Quantum Physics.
According to the Vedanta philosophy, the unknowable ultimate reality is the cause behind all causes: the consciousness that makes being conscious.
An article published on Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York mentions the following:
“According to the Vedas, ultimate reality is all-pervading, uncreated, self-luminous eternal spirit, the final cause of the universe, the power behind all tangible forces, the consciousness that animates all conscious beings. This is the central philosophy of the Vedantist, and his religion consists of meditation on this spirit and prayer for the guidance of his intellect along the path of virtue and righteousness.”
From a religious standpoint, Vedanta is monotheistic, and from a philosophical standpoint, it is non-dualistic. The Vedantists propagate the idea that the ultimate reality is non-dualistic in nature and independent of Maya or illusion.
The Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York article mentions:
“…The Vedanta philosophy asserts the essential non-duality of God, soul and universe, the apparent distinctions being created by names and forms which, from the standpoint of ultimate reality, do not exist. Vedanta accepts all religions as true and regards the various deities of the different faiths as diverse manifestations of the one God.”
The Vedanta philosophy spread the idea that religion is an experience. It clearly suggests that mere acceptance of dogmas creeds is not religion. A person who experiences religion becomes like God. In simpler words. A person who realizes God becomes like God.
The Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York article mentions:
“According to Vedanta, religion is experience and not mere acceptance of certain time-honored dogmas or creeds. To know God is to become like God. We may quote scripture, engage in rituals, perform social service, or pray with regularity, but unless we realize the Divine spirit in our hearts, we are still phenomenal beings, victims of the separative existence.”
In the next episode, we will try to unravel the mystery of the Upanishads, the cream of the Vedas.
