MAN, THEREFORE, ACCORDING TO THE VEDANTA PHILOSOPHY, IS THE GREATEST BEING THAT IS IN THE UNIVERSE, AND THIS WORLD OF WORK THE BEST PLACE IN IT.


 Man, therefore, according to the Vedanta philosophy, is the greatest being that is in the universe, and this world of work the best place in it, because only herein is the greatest and the best chance for him to become perfect. Angels or gods, whatever you may call them, have all to become men, if they want to become perfect. This is the great centre, the wonderful poise, and the wonderful opportunity — this human life.
