1. The real nature of man is divine. As Reality is one indivisible Entity, and underlies the entire phenomena from the highest to the lowest, all things partake of the nature of the Divinity which is eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.
2. The aim of every human being should be to unfold this Divinity which is inherent in him. The difference among individuals reflects the degree of manifestation of this Divinity, and all pious actions are meant only to uncover it.
3. As man is essentially divine, he has within him infinite potentiality and capacity to tear the veil off the face of his divine nature through an intensive process of prayer, meditation, renunciation, and disinterested service. With the chastening of the mental-stuff by means of such spiritual discipline, every aspirant rises above all worldly desires, and eventually feels himself at one with the Universal.
4. Truth, according to Vedanta, is universal and impersonal. Vedanta accepts all the religions of the world as true and honours all great prophets and teachers of humanity, born from time to time among different races to fulfil the spiritual needs of a particular age. The sacred Vedic word 'Om' stands as the symbolic expression of the impersonal Absolute or the omnipresent Godhead.
