The Yoga Vasishta is one of the most important jnana yoga scriptures. The sage Vasishta explains the highest wisdom of Vedanta to Prince Rama, who is desperate to understand the suffering of the world and to find a deeper meaning to life. This work contains unbelievable stories – sometimes funny, often surreal – about parallel universes. Their purpose is to show the illusionary nature of this world and of our conceptions of “I”.
However, the Yoga Vasishta is no work for ivory-towered scholars; in fact, the opposite is true. Its main statement is: realize that beyond the relative "reality" there is one unique and absolute Truth; realize that you are Brahman, pure consciousness. Free yourself from all limiting identifications and then act with detachment in the world. That is the path to overcome suffering and to live a happy life.
