Synopsis of ‘Vedanta Treatise’ by Swamy Parthasarathy (a multi-disciplined academic scholar as also a post-graduate from London University)

 

1 - Veda implies knowledge. Anta means ending. Vedanta indicates that freedom from knowledge leads to flowering in knowing, directly by and for Oneself.

 

2 - Perception of ‘what is’ — the truth — takes place in the blood-cells and bone-marrow of the human body, when One’s mind is free from beliefs, borrowed concepts and various conditionings.

 

3 - It is wise to live in a state of renunciation in action. Renouncing activities for the needs of daily living is not wisdom.

 

4 - Vedanta transforms emotional and ego-centric activities of the mind into Pillars of Love and Life in Division-free Awareness or Divinity.

 

5 - Let our home be the holy center of human affection — not its boundary.

 

6 - Vedanta teaches us to be human — not Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, Capitalists, Communists, Buddhists, Taoists, Maoists, Zorastrians and umpteen others.

 

7 - Vedanta enables us to realize the essence of Holy four Vedas.

 

8 - ‘Civilized’ people without the process of Self-knowing (Vedanta) are perhaps ‘Cruel’ and ‘intelligent’ savages.

 

9 - These savages live in ‘Spiritual slums’, popularly known as ‘‘Great Gurus’ Ashrams’’ !

 

10- Vedanta gives humans a lift to their real identity.

 

11- And then they can lift the world.

 

Note : Spiritual practice and knowledge of Kriya-Yoga in the three dimensions are :

1)      ‘Saamkhya’ of Sage Kapilacharya, known as ‘Swadhyaya-teachings’.

2)      ‘Yoga-Sutras’ of Sage Patanjali, known as ‘specific Kriya Practices’.

3)      ‘Adwaita Vedanta’ of Sage Vyaasa known as ‘Ishwar Pranidhaan’ teachings.

 

Purpose of Kriya-Yoga is to be available to the truth of ‘Is’-ness, by denying the activities of ‘I’-ness.
