Sects, ceremonies, and books, so far as they are the means of a man's realizing his own nature, are all right; when he has realized that, he gives up everything.
"I reject the Vedas!" is the last word of the Vedanta philosophy.
Ritual, hymns, and scriptures, through which he has traveled to freedom, vanish for him. "So'ham, So'ham"-- I am He, I am He -- bursts from his lips, and to say "Thou" to God is blasphemy, for he is "one with the Father".
