Every religion stands on the basis of realization. In Vedanta, this is the direct realization of God or the supreme Self.
The lineage of Vedanta goes back to the sages in the ancient Upanishads, thebrahmarishis . They first realized the Truth, and only then taught others. Not as an intellectual exercise or philosophical discussion, but an actual realization of Reality. Each successive disciple also realized it, and it got passed down in this way through generations , ultimately to Sri Sri Bhagavan today, and now to us.
Vedanta proclaims the Oneness of our individual Self with the universal Self, the cosmic consciousness (otherwise referred to as Brahman, Atman, Jesus, Allah, Hashem, Krishna, etc.) This is a fact, a reality. But we have to realize it to know it. How? We need to hear about it again and again to counteract our lifelong learning and identification with only the individual self (especially in today’s modern culture).
