A thorough, well-referenced study of Vedanta philosophy's view of the individual, from the physical through the mental and other subtler sheaths to the inmost Divine Self. Reincarnation and the law of karma are explained in detail. Concludes with a discussion of the Vedantic perspective on life?s aims, both secular and spiritual. Many comparisons with Western thought are provided.
When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.
-Swami Vivekananda
