	Ancient teachings of Vedanta

	In a broad sense, Vedanta is any tradition or methodology that provides knowledge of the true nature of the self. Based on the profound wisdom of the Upanishads, the most ancient and authoritative scriptures of India, this book is a simple, insightful, and contemporary introduction to the vital teachings of Vedanta. It reveals what Vedanta is, what it is not, and how to begin understanding its beauty and perennial truth. Excerpts from the Upanishads and other ancient Sanskrit scriptures provide insight on the origins of Vedanta, and chapters on traditional methods of study supply essential background for anyone seeking liberation from a sense of incompleteness. The essence of any great truth should be simple, and its discovery should unfold with joy. This straightforward introduction will bring the ancient and uncommon wisdom of Vedanta alive for you in the spirit of today.

	Excerpt:
	As Vedanta is the subject of this entire book, it is important to be clear about its meaning at the outset. In essense, Vedanta is the unique means of knowledge for resolving the fundamental and universal ignorance about our own true nature. All human beings are born with this ignorance. As this ignorance is about our own nature and as our true nature is the very substratum of our own experiences, emotions, thoughts, and actions, there is no aspect of our lives which is unaffected by this fundamental ignorance. Growth and objectivity are always compromised by ignorance. Because Vedanta deals with fundamental self-ignorance, it is the path of ultimate human growth and the means of fulfilling a human being's highest potential. However, this sort of meaning is putting the cart before the horse and is not particularly helpful at this stage. Let us, therefore, begin with the simple and literal meaning of Vedanta.
