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. Teacher is not an adviser to give some rules. Teacher makes himself/herself clear by delevering the vision he/she has and brings out the same clarity of thinking and understanding in the student. The faculty of thinking is something unique in human beings. We have to accept it as a gift and a blessing. That happens only if we make a proper use of it and grow with our age.If aging is simply a biological process the actual growth of a human being is will based and the person has to suggest for oneself and initiate a growth at Emotional and cognitive levels.It is a different dimention of growth which only humans or human like beings can achieve without that achievement human life cannot fulfill its purpose.Let us see whether a purpose exists , and if at all it exists then how to find it in ones life to make the life meaningful and get fulfilled here in this world itself. This is the reason that we can say this is a spiritual pursuit. https://anchor.fm/nija3pta/message
