Sri Rama Navami By Chaganti Koteswara Rao

What is Vedanta? What am I searching for when I pursue money, pleasure, power, fame, and recognition? I am only momentarily satisfied when I fulfil these pursuits. And I come back to feeling inadequate and lacking. So, I find myself seeking another set of desires. In this way, the cycle repeats itself. But one thing remains constant, in spite of all my accomplishments, I continue to see myself as a limited, mortal person subject to sorrow. One day, the above analysis into the nature of my pursuits leads me to the conclusion, that there is no connection between what I want and what I am doing. I want to be free from being a wanting, limited, insignificant person. My different pursuits in life only have the capacity to give me a temporary relief, in the form of momentary satisfaction and joy, but they never give me a lasting fulfilment. Then, the only possibility is that the answer lies in not doing something, but in re-examining the conclusion that I have drawn about myself, that I am a limited being. Vedanta says that you are already what you are looking for, the limitless, the whole. Logically, this seems to be the only solution: Because if I am really a limited individual, no matter what I do, no action, being limited, will ever produce the limitless I am seeking. #Vedanta #TeluguVedanta #Vedantam
