Vedanta is Like a Math Equation




Life appears to be an impossible equation until you find the answer. And if you are diligent enough, once you find the answer, you will try to disprove it. You will try to find holes in it, places where the numbers don’t add up. Vedanta is the limit, it’s as far as the inner eye can see. It’s the end of seeking—not due to some naive acceptance, but because nothing else works. 


Vedanta is like a math equation that no matter how many times you do it, it always comes out right. When our mind becomes dull we need an equation we can rely on to remind us that through the application of knowledge, there, the truth lies. Vedanta is that math equation that I continue to use even after I know the answer. It's that equation I use over and over again to show me that I’m seeing things as they are, and not just as they appear to be.
