Ever stop to think about how you're able to see anything at all? It's not just your eyes—you also need an object to look at and the light that connects them. Everything we experience in the world works together, completely dependent on something else. But what about the source of that light, the sun? It illuminates our entire world, but it shines all by itself. In this class, we break down a simple but mind-blowing idea from ancient wisdom: what if the ultimate source of the universe is just like the sun? In the class too we explain how the concept of the Devil simply has no scope for it in the proper understanding of God given by the Vedas. In this class, we covered verses 11.22.31-33.

In this class, we covered verses 11.22.34-39.
