WHAT IS WORTHWHILE DOING?

What is worthwhile doing? The Buddhist says that everything other than the Buddha's Path to end suffering is irrelevant, while the Vedantist argues that everything other than union with the Divine is irrelevant. Buddhism is pragmatic; Vedanta is mystical.

The Buddhist deals only with what meets the eye.  For the Vedantist, there is more than  meets the eye, so he deals with that.  The Buddhist is focused on the surface of the pond, the Vedantist on the depth of the pond.

It is all worthwhile doing.
