A series of seven lectures explains Vedanta’s path of knowledge, moving from Sânkhya cosmology and the dual principles of prakriti and purusha to a comparison with Advaita nondualism. It traces how multiplicity arises from one underlying reality, examines ignorance and discrimination as obstacles to liberation, and describes the nature and freedom of the self when realized as identical with absolute existence. Practical and philosophical points converge on the highest ideal of realizing oneness beyond sensory and intellectual limits, arguing that spiritual inquiry transforms perception of the world and culminates in blissful knowledge.
