Rahul explores the fundamental differences between the Law of Attraction and Advaita Vedanta, revealing why manifestation practices often hinder rather than help spiritual seekers on the path to lasting happiness.

• Law of Attraction focuses on fulfilling ego desires while Advaita Vedanta aims to transcend them
• The world in Advaita is seen as a projection upon Brahman, not something to manipulate for personal gain
• Desires are viewed as the cause of bondage and suffering, not as tools for happiness
• The notion of "I am the doer" in Law of Attraction strengthens ego identity rather than dissolving it
• True Ananda (bliss) is our inherent nature, not something to be achieved through external objects
• Guidance from a qualified guru is essential in Advaita, whereas Law of Attraction promotes self-reliance
• Permanent happiness comes from realizing our true nature as formless awareness, not from manifesting desires
