The method of Vedantism is the mystical
method. You do not reason, but after going through a certain
discipline YOU SEE, and having seen, you can report the truth.
Vivekananda thus reports the truth in one of his lectures here:
"Where is any more misery for him who sees this Oneness in the
Universe...this Oneness of life, Oneness of everything? ...This
separation between man and man, man and woman, man and child, nation
from nation, earth from moon, moon from sun, this separation between
atom and atom is the cause really of all the misery, and the Vedanta
says this separation does not exist, it is not real. It is merely
apparent, on the surface. In the heart of things there is Unity
still. If you go inside you find that Unity between man and man,
women and children, races and races, high and low, rich and poor,
the gods and men: all are One, and animals too, if you go deep
enough, and he who has attained to that has no more delusion. ...
Where is any more delusion for him? What can delude him? He knows
the reality of everything, the secret of everything. Where is there
any more misery for him? What does he desire? He has traced the
reality of everything unto the Lord, that centre, that Unity of
everything, and that is Eternal Bliss, Eternal Knowledge, Eternal
Existence.
