The Self within and the Divinity of the cosmos that we perceive falsely as “out there” are one and the same. This is what Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita. This is Advaita. There is nothing other than Divinity.
Divinity is in everything, but every thing is not Divinity. This can be known only through Self inquiry. Self knowledge is not EXPERIENCE. It is knowledge, to be known. Experience is not truth.

Buddhi is intellect in Sanskrit. It cannot bring peace, only understanding.

Looks like a religion for really smart people.

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
