There are innumerable differences between humans and other beings, but it narrows down to one principle distinction. The humanly ability to discriminate. A lion can certainly tell a hunter from a prey; this discrimination is a primal urge that aids in survival. However, the boon of discriminating between the temporal world and the ever-present unchanging Truth, the Supreme, is exclusive to humans. A basic understanding of this, or even questioning the existence of this statement, is oftentimes the stepping stone to one's spiritual seeking.
Sri Adi Shankaracharya's Vivekachoodamani translated as 'the crest-jewel of discrimination' is an important introductory text that acquaints a seeker with the joys of Vedanta. It walks one through the importance and the process of subtler discrimination, that must lead to dispassion towards worldly objects of desire.
Chinmaya International Foundation and Chinmaya Mission Mattancherry present online discourses on Vivekachoodamani, with Br. Ved Chaitanya.
Br. Ved Chaitanya comes from a family steeped in the Chinmaya Mission. An electronics and telecommunication engineer from Pune, he withdrew from work in TCS to follow his heart. He received Brahmacharya Diksha in 2013. An impactful orator, cheerful, kind-hearted, and a scholarly student of Sanskrit and Vedanta, his particular interest lie in the application of Vedanta in daily life.
