Two simple propositions, taken from Vedantic philosophy, summarize the whole of truth and the way to attain it. One is from the verse 2:16 of Bhagavad Gita and the other is from Upanishads: 1) The Real cannot not be; the unreal cannot be. 2) That which begins must end. We needed nothing more if we … More The Immortal One
*A must read for the contemplative seeker. The lives that we live in our everyday world are lived in toto with that world, i.e., the world, as we understand it, is part of what makes us who we think we are; and, conversely, the world is only what it is (what we think it is) … More The Shrouding Cover Called Human
