We spend our lives in the pursuit of various pleasures, such as wealth and fame expecting these will give us total fulfilment. Yet, each moment of joy is only that: momentary, highlighting the rest of our lifetime as unsatisfactory, somehow lacking and incomplete. On the other hand, Vedanta, the body of knowledge found at the end of the Veda, asserts with a breath-taking boldness that one’s true nature is completeness and limitlessness. Vedanta also promises that moksha, liberation, is possible here and now. In this lucid series of talks on an ‘Introduction to Vedanta’, Pujya Swamiji unfolds how man’s constant struggle to overcome limitations through the ceaseless pursuit of security and pleasure are pre-destined for failure, for the simple reason that all efforts to become something different are misguided. They stem from a failure to understand the real nature of the fundamental problem itself. All actions to gain what one wants; to retain what one already has; to avoid what does not want, and dispense with what one already has, in order to feel satisfied and fulfilled, only bring limited results, being the products of action. They can never give you the completeness you seek. Vedanta asserts that the solution to the problem of seeking lies in the correct understanding of the self, knowledge of one’s true nature as fullness and freedom itself. These set of talks give one a clear understanding that self-ignorance is the basic issue in life, and that self knowledge alone is key to removing it.
