you see without means if at a conclusion of the vedas and how did this particular phenomena start
it started with sankhya darshan where the first time one individual said we are not the body we
have more than the body the mind the intellect the ego we are much more that's the beginning
of his real hinduism spirituality before then it was materialistic so you start sanki darshan then
it was developed further by patanjali with the yoga philosophy which says yes you are something
special here the observer in the observed world purusa and prakriti then he added one more one
more category saying there's something else which you can call super personality so you introduce
the idea of ishwar or god in in in the yoga sutras then we come to the vedanta philosophy now veda
and philosophy is a very unusual feature because it in a way was revived by adi shankara because
hinduism had gone into this cross materialistic you know stage of just after buddha after a few
hundred years after buddha hinduism india had gone into a cross materialistic stage and the only
way it can be rescued by was by focusing on the deepest vision that hindus can come up with and
this is what happened about eleven twelve hundred years ago with adi shankara young man from south
india kerala was experientially enlightened that's the first requirement you can't do this work
unless you're entitled but he had tremendous sharp intellect so just using his intellect he went all
over india and he removed this grass materialistic vision that was kind of promoted all over the
all over india just one man one young man i should say and revive hinduism with advaita vedanta now
people say is not any different from buddhism because it doesn't require a god he says you are
essentially something special and more than matter in this video one the hearts and minds of india
and that is why india revived adi shankar revolved hinduism in india adi shankara is the master
is a very solid system it sits with quantum physics it sits with with everything you can
think of in modern science so that when there's a solid foundation to hinduism but the problem
is this other that talks of nirkundirakar brahman somebody just asked about that
now this is a tricky chapter to get captured you can say or you know asti pati priya but how do you
handle it how do you grab it if possible so we see this we have this another great master ramanuja
you have trump men's love this man because he's a pragmatic person he says okay this is
okay we require to polarize our mind we need to require focusing we say let's focus on vishnu
when he started vishishta it means qualified non-dualism and this is how if you like the
second version of vedanta so first of all very highly even now if i want to fight it
take on philosophy challenges i can't use wish it would i would use advaith and i win but then if
you want a ordinary person to relate to spiritual philosophy challenges but if you relate to it
better to think of you know you know talk on which is that way think of ultimate is a polarized super
personality and link up with that person and then you got some kind of handle on this thing called
brahman so this is the bishop's advaith so this is up to up to here i have no difficulty advaith
is the deeper philosophic vision which is weight is if like a pragmatic way of becoming spiritual
for ordinary human being we read this all only ordinary i for example cannot live without my mind
meant to ram krishna i'm stuck so we require some personality to polarize our idea of spirituality
but then there was a third version which is called advaithan which i cannot relate to by the way
that isn't very simple he said some human beings are means they will never get enlightened they
are permanently you know you know negative you know and these kind of words i don't
like because school flies in the face of advaitha which is essentially every living thing the whole
of this creation nothing but expression of the divine brahman manifesting his creation and as
human beings so nobody can and that much so that's why i move away from my advice
