' Vedantic Advaita '...


Pain and suffering, sin and evil, disease and death, exist only in the world of thoughts, not in the world of pure Thought itself.

They are not illusions, however, but they are transient.

Whoever attains to pure Thought will also attain in consciousness to a life that is painless, sorrow-free, sinless, undecaying, and undying.

Being above desires and fears, it is necessarily above the miseries caused by unsatisfied desires and realized fears.

But at the same time he will also have an accompanying consciousness of life in the body, which must obey the laws of its own being, natural laws which set limitations and imperfections upon it.

This much can be said to be the element of truth contained in some theoretical doctrines of Vedantic Advaita and Christian Science.
