Join us in this episode of The Daily Vedantic as we explore the radical concepts that form the core of Vedanta, an ancient philosophy that challenges conventional beliefs and offers a path to profound freedom. Dive into the three pillars of truth within Vedanta: the existence of an infinite supreme entity, the illusion of reality, and the radical assertion that "you are that supreme entity." Discover how these concepts, seemingly impossible to believe, have been echoed through the ages by mystics, sages, and spiritual leaders. Explore the transformative power of embracing these radical truths and the potential they hold for genuine freedom. Reflect on the idea that, in a world confined by societal norms and desires, being truly radical might be the key to authentic liberation. Tune in to unravel the wisdom that has endured for thousands of years and consider whether radical beliefs might hold the key to true sanity and freedom.
The Daily Vedantic is a daily podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads (https://www.thedailyvedantic.co). Dating back to over 5,000 years ago, the source of nearly all Eastern Philosophy, and loved by Western giants from Emerson to Thoreau to Carl Jung and Alan Watts, studied daily by Joseph Campbell to Aldous Huxley to Arthur Schopenhauer and countless others, The Daily Vedantic aims to make this ancient philosophy as modern and accessible as it is simple, practical — and profound.
