FREEDOM through VEDANTA
Total Mental Freedom
“Dogma is always based on belief, whereas Vedanta is about study, research, discovery, experience, and enlightenment.”
Don’t divisions among people seem to be deepening with each passing day?
Have you ever pondered the reasons behind religion-based conflicts?
They are nothing but a clash of ideologies. People of one religion want to completely annihilate the people of another!
From rigid doctrines of organised religions to personal faith, belief systems hold immense power, influencing our perspectives and actions.
Let’s have a look at organised religions, in which adherence to prescribed beliefs is non-negotiable, and why their followers are sometimes not just violent but also murderous. These religions enforce dogmatic elements, demanding conformity from their followers without question.
Vedic wisdom offers a profound alternative, in which even the faintest concept of belief does not exist. It is a journey of both spiritual and intellectual evolution. It’s about engaging in self-discovery, culminating in the realisation of the all-pervading Self, personified as Krishna.
Unlike organised religions that limit the human spirit, Vedanta transcends dogma. The entire dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, is about introspection and discernment, and certainly not imposition.
The culmination of Vedanta is the attainment of Self-knowledge, transcending all dualities of our mundane existence.
Embracing Vedanta requires a departure from the mentally enslaving chains of blind belief, inviting true seekers to listen, study, observe, analyse, process, and arrive at a higher understanding.
True knowledge is the way to rise above divisive forces and embrace spiritual enlightenment. Dogma is always based on belief, whereas Vedanta is about study, research, discovery, experience, and enlightenment. So, let’s cast aside the constraints of dogma and embark on a journey of self-discovery and liberation through studying Vedanta.
Stay blessed.
Thank you.
Jai Shri Krishna.
