VEDĀNTA ... 1

VEDĀNTA ... 1

Patriarchy has long possessed this earth. Religions that promote it have become redundant. The only religion that goes with the spirit of modernity is the Vedanta. Of all religions it alone declares the divinity of all and allows privilege to none. This is the religion of the modern age and this is the religion of the future. Divinity of all, equal rights for all, democracy of the Spirit, no tyrant God to worship and please, none to fear, none sitting in judgement over humans and determining their afterlife, their destination postmortem. 

Humanism falls far short of it. It accepts only the body and the mind but rejects any higher evolved state of a human being in the Spirit. This materialistic outlook limits it. The Vedanta releases the human soul from this stranglehold of matter, that is the bondage of the being to the body and the duality of the sense universe. The Vedanta, while accepting the body and the mind, goes a step further and frees the being in the infinitude of the Spirit. No God to worship, no matter to be enslaved to perpetually, just continuous evolution till the singular state of the Absolute Existence-Consciousness-Bliss be reached which is each being's own essence.
