Philosophy of the Beyond

In one sense Brahman is known to every human being; he knows, "I am"; but man does not know himself as he is. 

We all know we are, but not how we are. All lower explanations are partial truths; but the flower, the essence of the Vedas, is that the Self in each of us is Brahman. 

Every phenomenon is included in birth, growth, and death -- appearance, continuance, and disappearance. 

Our own realisation is beyond the Vedas, because even they depend upon that. The highest Vedanta is the philosophy of the Beyond.
                              - Swami Vivekananda
