In Tattvabodha, the great philosopher Adi Shankara clarifies key Vedantic concepts and the method to enlightenment.
Some of the essential topics discussed include:
• The four qualifications necessary for a spiritual seeker: discrimination, dispassion, discipline, and desire for liberation.
• The ultimate goal of human life according to Vedanta: realizing one's true nature as the formless, eternal Atman or Self.
• The relationship between the individual self or Jiva and the supreme Lord or Brahman. The Tattvabodha establishes the unity of Jiva and Brahman as its central teaching.
• The three states of experience: waking, dreaming and deep sleep. The Tattvabodha reveals the fourth state of pure consciousness or Turiya underlying these three.
• The three bodies: gross physical body, subtle mental body, and causal body. Enlightenment is attained by realizing the self beyond these bodies.
• The types of knowledge: empirical, intellectual and intuitive or immediate. The Tattvabodha demonstrates that intuitive knowledge gained through meditation is thehighest knowledge of Self.
• The obstacles to enlightenment and the means to overcome them, from moral restraints to concentration and contemplation.
The Tattvabodha provides a concise yet comprehensive review of Vedanta philosophy as taught by Adi Shankara. It has become a key introductory work read by students of Vedanta to this day. Overall, this short text covers all the fundamental principles required to understand and embark upon the path of knowledge that leads to liberation.
