LIGHT ON VEDANTA

Swami Sivananda

One should not lose the sight of the wood in the tree. One should not lose the sight of Brahman in the external phenomena. To behold the Atman in all beings, and all beings in the Atman, is real living. Vedanta denotes one's identity with the rest of humanity. According to Vedanta, there is no stranger in this world. Everyone is related to one another in the kinship of the Spirit. In Vedanta there is no "mine" and "for me, " but "ours" and "for us, " and, ultimately, "His" and "for Him. " If the Vedanta philosophy is rightly understood and acted up to, then it will obliterate all evils that emanate from factional and racial prejudices.


The connection between your Ishta Devata and the ultimate Universal Reality is not like ordinary connections of father and son, mother and child, officer and subordinate, etc. It is an inseparable relationship.
