Vedānta — in a nutshell
Vedānta is not a philosophy that changes your life; it is a vision that corrects your understanding of yourself.I am not a limited individual trying to complete myself through the world.I am the complete, limitless Awareness in whose presence the individual, the world, and Īśvara are known.In a little more detail:1. What is the problem? — Ignorance (अविद्या)I take myself to be the body–mind–person

why should the enlightened person teach?
Have you ever thought of a right answer for a wrong question? Well , the only right answer for a wrong question is to make the person understand the question itself is wrong..!! So now think of it. . . Bhakti is relating to god with devotion and self knowledge is for ones own satisfaction. Then why should anyone teach?. No reason to teach. It is all up to the student to seek the knowledge.Guru is
What is God?, where is God?, ...
what is God?,where is God?,How is God? and Who is God? etc..etc.. are the questions generally asked by people. Because they have already concluded that God is not Here.So they put God safely somewhere else in a place and within time.These are the concepts which originates from erroneous perception of the reality. To see the reality we need to know and to know anything we need a means of knowedge.
Morning Meditation -Validate oneself through the order which is Iswara.
One can give up the resistence to facts only in the recognition of the presence of "iswara" in the form of this one vast order that pervades everything and obtained as this moment.
Without "iswara" no "Karma yoga" possible
You have a choice with reference to karma but not with the results. Your actions as an offering to the lord will be the right attitude to Manage "raga" and "dvesha". which is possible if one has got the vision of karma yoga.The yoga of attitudes. The results of your "karma" will be Prasada and hence no failure in life. This is all ones own attitudes which comes out of the basic understanding about
The yoga of attitudes.
Karma yoga is to be understood as the yoga of attitudes.
Remembering with gratitude.
dhanyoham is the word we use in sanskrit to express our gratitude. When we feel "Thank you" is not enough it is beyond words to express it.

We have Mantras to Invoke the blessings of the Lord. Saraswati the goddess of knowledge is the deity invoked through this mantra.

MahaValidation:-Meditation is complete by validating everything with Iswara's presence in ones life.
Meditation is complete only by validating everything with Iswara's presence in ones life. Without accepting Iswara as the order one cannot find a place to surrender (samarpanam).Guru is the one who reveals it by unfolding the true nature of Iswara.

Introduction
introductory insight into the vision of the Upanishads, Vedanta, Bhagavad Gita and other texts which reveals the identity of the self. The self being the whole it is non-seperate from "iswara". All that exists is just "iswara" only. So we do not say one God or many Gods ,We say "only God". There is no second thing, so it is called non-duality or Advaita.
Introduction to Vedanta.
Vedanta is not a phylosophy because it is a means of knowledge (pramana).Unfolding the vision of vedanta is always with the help of the teaching from a teacher who knows what he/she is talking about and can communicate the vision.You will discover the role of the Guru in the process of unfolding the meaning of vedanta.
