In the profound depths of "Vasistha's Yoga," Swami Venkatesananda brings forth an ocean of wisdom through the sage Vasistha's teachings to the young Prince Rama. This timeless scripture, elegantly condensed into a single volume from its original expansive form, serves as a beacon for those seeking liberation from the shackles of psychological conditioning. Through a series of captivating stories, each a meticulously crafted gem, the reader is guided on a transformative journey towards enlightenment, unraveling the mysteries of existence with each page. The dialogues between Vasistha and Rama transcend mere conversation, becoming a profound exploration of the self and the universe, making this work a masterpiece of spiritual literature. "Vasistha's Yoga" is not just a book; it is a passage through the layers of the mind and the cosmos, offering insights that pierce the veil of illusion. Swami Venkatesananda masterfully preserves the essence of ancient wisdom while presenting it in a form that resonates with the modern seeker. Embedded within the narrative are teachings on karma, desire, destiny, and liberation, illuminated through tales that entertain as much as they enlighten. This scripture is an essential companion for anyone on the path to self-realization, inviting readers to embark on a journey within, to discover the ultimate truth of their being.

Naval Ravikant tweeted about this book.
All this is but the reflection of the truth. Nothing but the one Brahman exists. ‘I am different from this’ is pure fancy: give it up, O Rama. The one self perceives itself within itself as the infinite consciousness. Therefore, there is no sorrow, no delusion, no birth (creation), nor creature: whatever is, is. Be free from distress, O Rama. Be free of duality; remain firmly established in the self, abandoning even concern for your own welfare. Be at peace within, with a steady mind. Let there be no sorrow in your mind. Rest in the inner silence. Remain alone, without self-willed thoughts. Be brave, having conquered the mind and the senses. Be desireless, content with what comes to you unsought. Live effortlessly, without grabbing or giving up anything. Be free from all mental perversions and from the blinding taint of illusion. Rest content in your own self. Thus, be free from all distress. Remain in an expansive state in the self, like the full ocean. Rejoice in the self by the self, like the blissful rays of the full moon. – Vasistha
