Ved�nta Philosophy

Ved�nta Philosophy Synopsis

Excerpt from Ved�nta Philosophy: Lectures by the Sw�mi Vivek�nanda on Jn�na Yoga

Vedrnta Philosophy regards the religious tenden cies of mankind as being of four main divisions, the dividing lines not being necessarily sharply defined, for more than one of these tendencies may be found in one individual. Broadly speaking, there is a large class of men who seek to express their religious ideas through ethical work, through constant effort to help and uplift their fellow-men. Then there are others of a strongly devotional character, who find in love and worship the satisfaction of their religious needs. Others again, of more mystical nature, prefer to realize their ideals through concentration and meditation. Lastly, there is a class of men of Strongly analytical natures who must have the sanction Of logic and reason for every belief and who therefore take the path of philosophy and discrimination.
