Atman - Its bondage and freedom"
Swamiji says in 'The Atman....' - According to the Advaita philosophy,
there is only one thing real in the universe, which it calls Brahman;
everything else is unreal, manifested and manufactured out of Brahman by
the power of Maya. To reach back to that Brahman is our goal. We are,
each one of us, that Brahman, that Reality, plus this Maya. If we can
get rid of this Maya or ignorance, then we become what we really
are....The alpha and omega of Vedanta philosophy is to "give up the
world," giving up the unreal and taking the real. ....
