The journey through Vedanta continues as we explore the foundational texts and philosophical underpinnings that reveal our true nature as indivisible, eternal consciousness. We examine why the Upanishads stand as the ultimate authority in Vedantic philosophy and how other sacred texts serve to illuminate their timeless wisdom.

• Vedanta represents the culmination of spiritual knowledge that follows after ritualistic practices
• The Upanishads are the primary authority, with the Brahma Sutras and Bhagavad Gita serving to elucidate their meaning
• Once blessed with true wisdom, karma no longer affects you as you realize you're neither the doer nor the enjoyer
• Puranas are instructive stories, not direct truth – to understand deeper wisdom, one must turn to authoritative texts like the Upanishads
• Traditional qualifications for studying Vedanta include mental purity and specific practices, but sincere desire for self-realization indicates readiness
• The genuine longing to realize one's true nature is exceptional and suggests you're prepared for this knowledge
• Regular awareness of formless consciousness brings peace and joy that confirms you're on the right path
