The Faithful is one with the Veda || On Advait Vedanta (2019)

ਸਾਧ ਕੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਬੇਦ ਨ ਜਾਨਹਿ ॥

saaDh kee mahimaa bayd na jaaneh

The glory of the Holy people is not known to the Vedas.

~ Guru Granth Sahib 272-7

✥ ✥ ✥

Questioner (Q): Acharya Ji, I read nine Upanishads last month. However, after reading this statement, I am feeling that I should have invested my time in reading Sukhmani Sahib instead. Are the Vedas and Upanishads less helpful than Sukhmani Sahib?

Acharya Prashant (AP): Don’t be so mischievous. Do not turn it into a clash of the scriptures. It is something very different that is being said here. It is not about Veda or Vedanta or Upanishads versus Sukhmani Sahib or the Guru Granth Sahib. Scriptures do not quarrel with each other. What is being said is something very beautiful, very sweet, very lovely. You must look at it in the right spirit.
