A reflection on the contemplative life—why solitude is natural, not lonely, and how true companionship is found only in silence and the Self.

An in-depth exploration of Vedanta’s teaching method (adhyaropa–apavada), explaining how the tradition leads the seeker from duality to nonduality through a structured process of superimposition and negation. Includes an appendix outlining the progressive curriculum of Vedanta — from Tattva Bodha to Panchadashi — within the shastra–guru–shishya model.

An exploration of Vedanta’s ultimate limit: maya, the inscrutable power that makes the real appear unreal. Why even the highest wisdom cannot “understand” maya—and why freedom lies not in explanation, but in awakening.

There are two ways to renounce the world: one through shared restraint, the other through inner understanding. The Amish embody collective renunciation — a moral withdrawal from the noise of modernity — while the sannyasi represents inner renunciation, seeing the world itself as maya. Both point toward the same peace found not by addition, but by relinquishment.

A reflection on the real meaning of a sage in Vedanta — not a perfect being beyond duality, but one who returns to knowledge again and again. True peace isn’t constant; it’s recoverable through remembering.

A reflection on the quiet stage of spiritual life when worldly pursuits lose their grip, revealing the ripening of dispassion (vairagya) and the turn toward inner peace.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Religion, mysticism, Buddhism, therapy, philosophy, science, and psychology each glimpse part of the truth — but never the whole. This essay shows why these half-truths keep seekers circling, and how Vedanta alone opens both eyes to reveal freedom as the self itself.

A comparative reflection on Buddhism and Vedanta—how Vipassana prepared the ground through dissolution, and how Vedānta completes the journey through revelation of the Self.

What does renunciation look like in the modern world? This essay explores the essence of sannyāsa today—not as a withdrawal from life, but as a quiet freedom from identity, rooted in clarity and simplicity.

Vedanta is sometimes dismissed as too intellectual, yet it’s the intellect—properly trained and guided by right knowledge—that becomes the seeker’s greatest ally against suffering. This essay explores how inquiry, discrimination, and Self-knowledge transform the mind from a victim of circumstance into a clear instrument of freedom.
