Episode notes
Goal Is Self-Inquiry, Not Scholarship
- The goal of this study is self-inquiry into your true nature (atma), not mastering Vedanta as information.
- Vedanta teachings are tools to discover who you are, not the final aim.
Set Aside School Learning Habits
- Do not approach Vedanta with school-style learning skills of memorizing and regurgitating facts.
- Set those study habits aside and use Vedanta as a means for self-discovery, not academic accumulation.
Vedanta Is A Road Map
- Vedanta functions like a road map: its information is a means to reach the destination, not the destination itself.
- The destination (prerogena) is atma-vidya, self-knowledge leading to freedom.
