Vedanta commentary
|
Imported quote 24194 All the Vedas, all the book of knowledge, their business is how to search out God. Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ. So the whole Vedanta is description of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But because in this Kali-yuga people will not be able to study Vedanta nicely on account of lack of education, therefore Vyasadeva personally wrote a commentary on the Vedanta. That commentary is Srimad-Bhagavatam. Bhasyam brahma-sūtranam. The Srimad-Bhagavatam is the real commentary on the Vedanta-sūtra written by the author himself. The Vedanta-sūtra is also given by Vyasadeva, and under the instruction of Narada, his spiritual master... [aside: Get this light on.] ...he wrote commentary on the Vedanta-sūtra. That is Srimad-Bhagavatam. And Srimad-Bhagavatam also begins with the same aphorism, janmady asya yataḥ anvayad itaratas ca arthesu abhijnah sva-rat [SB 1.1.1]. So actually, Vedanta-sūtra is explained by the author of the Vedanta in Srimad-Bhagavatam. So some rascals, without understanding Vedanta, without reading the commentary, natural commentary of the Vedanta-sūtra they are posing themselves as Vedantist. That means they are misguiding people. And because people are not educated, they're accepting these rascals as Vedantists. Actually, the so-called Vedantists, they are bluffers. They are not Vedantists. They do not know anything of the Vedanta. That is the difficulty. Otherwise, what is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, that is real Vedanta. In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said, jivasya tattva-jijnasa. That is Vedanta-sutra-bhasya. Find out this verse.
