Systematic Approach

Talking about this here book.

It's called Vedanta Treatise, The Eternities, and this is the book for anyone that is interested in learning soup to nuts, beginning to end, about the entirety of the philosophy of Vedanta.

This is it, mother chukkas.

The Dante Treatise.

And it's written by our teacher, A. Parthasarathy.

And he has 12 books.

But this is the one that is the compendium.

Like I said, beginning to end of the whole philosophy.

And it's not that.

It's a pretty short read.

But more important than the length of it, it is just how easy it is to read.

There's so many books on this ancient philosophy, as you could imagine, and so many of them are so hard to follow.

It's actually quite rare as well for one of the texts, for an author, to try to hit head-on the totality of the philosophy.

So many of them are commentaries on this Upanishad, or it is Vedanta applied to X, Y, or Z in your life, in business, or in parenting, in approaching life.

to maximize happiness.

There's all kinds of different application types of books out there, but the Dodger Treatise is the beginning and end to the philosophy.

The first third is kind of the orientation of just the bits and pieces of the philosophy.

The second Second, third is kind of like, all right, we're taking off.

All right, this is getting really fascinating, interesting.

Haven't maybe heard this before.

Maybe it's similar to this or that, that is in the back of your mind, similar to a lot of ancient philosophical views, but expressed in such a clear way that by the third section of the book, you are just soaring.

And you're getting into the deep end of the pool of this philosophy, which is actually not that complicated.

Episode one of the Daily Vedantic gives the overview of the philosophy in 15 minutes.

Swami will say in lectures often that you can actually divulge the entirety of the philosophy in maybe seven minutes, eight minutes.

It is quite simple, but to take simple ideas and make them digestible, to systematically lay out an approach to these ideas with example after example after example.
