Vedanta

/veɪˈdɑːntə/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Sanskrit वेदान्त (vedānta).

proper noun

A Hindu system of philosophy concerned with the self-realisation by which one comes to understand the ultimate nature of reality, or Brahman. Well, Vedanta recognizes no sin, only error, and the greatest error, it says, is to believe that you are a sinner, a wretch deficient in character.
