Vedanta Paribhasa is an introductory book to the philosophy of Shankaracarya's Advaita Vedanta by Dharmaraja Adhvarindra. It contains eight chapters. The first six chapters delineate epistemology (pramana), the seventh describes Brahman, the object of knowledge (prameya), and the eighth describes the ultimate goal (prayojana). It is the most popular book to get a grasp of Advaita Vedanta.
Babaji reads the terse original text in Sanskrit, elaborates upon it, and explains it. Preliminary knowledge of Sanskrit is helpful to understand this course.
To pull someone down, I also have to be down. I cannot pull someone down if I am standing high up. When I pull a person down, I am already down. An envious ego feels happy by pulling down the object of envy. This is very cheap happiness which ultimately turns into misery.
