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.
Above all, beware of compromises. Hold on to your own principles in weal or woe and never adjust them to others' fads through the greed of getting supporters. Your Atman is the support of the universe -- whose support do you stand in need of?
-Swami Vivekananda
