Introduction to Vedanta

by Swami Dayananda

In this lucid, lively introduction to Vedanta, Swami Dayananda shows how man’s constant struggle to overcome limitations through the ceaseless pursuit of security and pleasure are pre-destined to failure for the simple reason that they are misdirected: they stem from a failure in understanding the nature of the real problem. All effort no matter how great or unremitting is limited, the result of such effort is also bound to be equally limited. The road to freedom from limitation, then, can scarcely lie that way. Indeed asserts Vedanta, it is only to be found in the correct knowledge of one’s true nature as absolute. This vital first step, a clear understanding of man’s fundamental problem of ignorance and error about his real nature is what this book is all about.
