Guénon published his fundamental doctrinal work, Man and His Becoming according to the Vedanta, in 1925. After asserting that the Vedanta represents the purest metaphysics in Hindu doctrine, he acknowledges the impossibility of ever expounding it exhaustively and states that the specific object of his study will be the nature and constitution of the human being. Nonetheless, taking the human being as point of departure, he goes on to outline the fundamental principles of all traditional metaphysics. He leads the reader gradually to the doctrine of the Supreme Identity and its logical corollary-the possibility that the being in the human state might in this very life attain liberation, the unconditioned state where all separateness and risk of reversion to manifested existence ceases. Although Guénon chose the doctrine of the Advaita school (and in particular that of Shankara) as his basis, Man and His Becoming should not be considered exclusively an exposition of this school and of this master. It is, rather, a synthetic account drawing not only upon other orthodox branches of Hinduism, but not infrequently also upon the teachings of other traditional forms. Neither is it a work of erudition in the sense of the orientalists and historians of religion who study doctrines from the 'outside', but represents knowledge of the traditionally transmitted and effective 'sacred science'. Guénon treats other aspects of Hinduism in his Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines and Studies in Hinduism.

Guru: Yes. My definition of enlightenment is what colour is for the blind man. We can describe colour to him and he will understand and know it intellectually, as a mental concept. But what it really is as an experiential experience, he will only know after eyesight has been given to him. Or, say we have a glass of water in front of us. The water exists as it is; waterness is its nature. Speaking of it, is water in terms of the mind. Such water is a concept. The word water is not water. No matter how detailed we describe it-even if it is described by 100 Einsteins-such a description will never be what water really is. We have the triad: the subject (the seer), the object (water) and the process of perceiving water. We can know water only when we drink it, shower with it, etc. That knowing then is a direct existential experience. That knowing is drinking is quenching thirst, therefore, is blissful. The three-fold aspects knowing, drinking and being blissful are one in the event called drinking. It is an impersonal event that occurs as part of the functioning of Totality. It is not an act of an individual "me" embodied in a body-mind organism with the sense of personal volitiona and doership. While drinking, the triad drinker, water, and the process of drinking is dissolved. Drinking occurs as one impersonal event, comprising the drinker, the water and the process of drinking. In this case drinking is the impersonal "What-is." The actual drinking of water is not a concept. At the moment of drinking there is no individual, separate "me"-entity, a drinker drinking water. The "me" comes in afterwards as a further, additional "me"-thought as in "’I’-drank water. ‘I’ experienced drinking water." The fact is, while drinking water happened there was no "me." A body-mind organism was drinking water as part of the functioning of Totality. When we inquire closely, we find that such a "me"-entity does not exist, except as a thought, as a notion, as a concept.

The visible phenomena of the universe are bound by the universal law of cause and effect. The effect is visible or perceptible, while the cause is invisible or imperceptible. The falling of an apple from a tree is the effect of a certain invisible force called gravitation. Although the force cannot be perceived by the senses, its expression is visible. All perceptible phenomena are but the various expressions of different forces which act as invisible agents upon the subtle and impercep-tible forms of matter. These invisible agents or forces together with the imperceptible particles of matter make up the subtle states of the phenomenal universe. When a subtle force becomes objectified, it appears as a gross object. Therefore, we can say, that every gross form is an expression of some subtle force acting upon the subtle particles of matter. The minute particles of hydrogen and oxygen when combined by chemical force, appear in the gross form of water. Water can never be separated from hydrogen and oxygen, which are its subtle component parts. Its existence depends upon that of its component parts, or in other words, upon its subtle form. If the subtle state changes, the gross manifestation will also change. The peculiarity in the gross form of a plant depends upon the peculiar nature of its subtle form, the seed.

The nature of consciouness or human awareness is one of the problems of perennial concern to philosphers and psychologists alike. Here is a systematic critical and comparative study the nature of human awareness according to the most influential school of classical Indian thought. After introducing the Advaita Philosophical system and indicating the place of consciouness in this system the author presents a detailed discussion of the Advaitin`s unique non-dual understanding of man`s basic intelligence. He continues with and analysis of the Advaitin`s hierarchical vision of waking dream and dreamless sleep experience and compares this analysi,

Excerpt from Vedanta Philosophy: Lecture on the Use of Religion It would be too long a process to attempt to show how this is done, but we are all familiar with the result, we are all able to at once describe a certain object as a tree, even if we never before saw one of that particular kind. We can even follow the idea into the realms of imagination, and picture to our selves such trees as never existed on earth, without the least doubt as to what we mean when we call these creations of our fancy trees. With religion, we have more difficulty, because it is entirely a mental concept, without actual physical shape, so to speak. Still the same thing must be true about it. Before we can call anything a religion we must have in our minds some idea, however vague, of what religion means to us. What, then, is the one idea common to every religion, which must be present to give it a distinctive character as a religion? It is not a belief in God, or soul, or immortality, or Heaven, or Hell, because we find one of the great religions of the world which entirely omits all these ideas. Yet no student of the subject would for an instant hesitate to classify Buddhism as a religion, and a very great one. The one common element in everything called by the name of religion is man's attempt to penetrate beyond the world of the senses. Inherent in the very constitution of man is the necessity to relate himself with that which is above and beyond the limits of the seen world. From the most ignorant savage, whose worship is of the crud est kind, to the most intellectual philosopher, or the most advanced scientist, man is eternally finding himself confronted with an unknown Beyond. Every science, when pushed to its ultimate, reaches what modern philosophy calls the Unknow able. The most subtle reasoning cannot penetrate that dead wall that limits even the keenest intellect. Just here, then, when man has, as Max Miiller so well expresses it, at least once in his life looked beyond the horizon of this world and carried away in his mind an impression of the Infinite just here religion begins for that man. Prof. Daniel G. Brinton, of the University of Pennsylvania, claims that religion takes its rise in the mental sub-consciousness. By this he appears to mean that religious ideas spring from something deeper than conscious reasoning. The expression. Super conscious, made use of by the Vedanta, seems to me a more correct one, and one that more clearly conveys the idea that religion springs from a source beyond the ordinary state of the human mind, from a plane beyond intellect, a plane which has been reached bv many men, and which can be reached by every human being who will make the same effort that they made. Revelation is not the property of any age or race, of any Prophet or Teacher, however great; it is the birthright of humanity, the natural outcome of the inherent Divinity that is the real nature of man.
