About this eBook

 Cause Divine explores the history of vedic thought on a subject that has globally perplexed man - the first cause, the first principle. The book exploits Brahma Sutra as the central theme wherein began the formal quest for the first divine cause. Extracts from Vedas and Upanishads supports the topic, providing a genuine insight into questions around the birth of this universe, our role on this planet and thereafter, oneness of god in everything and the true yoga of meditation. The ancient seers were extremely earnest in their desire for the truth and provided an eternal covenant that lay concealed in the realms of the sacred lore of the Vedas and Vedanta. The book follows the style of a ballad - numbered, referenced stanzas. The book may appear terse and fragmented in the beginning with some alien names and conjectures. As the contents unfold, the theme becomes evident providing a genuine, simple translation of what the forepersons saw, witnessed, practiced, underwent, and left for us a means to continue that wonderful, spiritual experience. Cause Divine is strictly a philosophy and Brahma per-se is not a deity; Brahma is the name of a transcendental being who is considered the first cause. Cause-Divine disambiguates him from any god or deity.
