Acharya Prashant explains that while people often seek peace and relaxation to escape stress, true peace is impossible without truth. He defines Sanatana Dharma as the constant movement toward that which lies beyond the self, as there is no peace within the limited self. He clarifies that Vedanta focuses exclusively on two entities: the mind and the truth, which is variously referred to as the Self, Brahman, or the Eternal. Unlike the earlier parts of the Vedic corpus that emphasize rituals, practices, and commandments, Vedanta or the Upanishads represent a total absence of prescribed action. Instead, Vedanta involves a relentless and austere investigation into the truth by the mind, discarding trivialities such as personal feelings, attachments, gender, or social identity. Acharya Prashant concludes that Sanatana Dharma is effectively Vedanta itself, as Vedanta provides the path for man to reach the unconditional truth. He describes Vedanta as the summit and the essence of Vedic literature, asserting that one cannot truly follow Sanatana Dharma without being a Vedanti.
