The Quintessence of Vedanta of Sri Sankaracharya (PocketBook)

The Sankaracharya arose and once more revived the Vedanta philosophy. He made it a rationalistic philosophy. In the Upanishads the arguments are often very obscure. By Buddha the moral side of the philosophy was laid stress upon and by Sankaracharya, the intellectual side. He worked out, rationalised, and placed before men

the wonderful coherent system of Advaita. 

In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and

bringing it to everyone's door. In Sankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything. We want today the bright sun of intellectuality, joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy. Science and religion will

meet and shake hands. Poetry and philosophy will become friends. This will be the religion of the future, and if we can work it out, we may be sure that it will be for all times and peoples.
