The first principle is Reality is ultimately spiritual. This means you are not made up of just molecules. It is more important for you to love someone than to have someone love you. Jesus said: Do not keep physical treasures, keep spiritual treasures.
All non spiritual reality is anicca ( changing an illusion) the Physical is world is no the reality we think it is. Everything is changing.
The second princilpe is Philosophy and Life are and inseperable and joined. It is not enough to know the truth, you must live the truth. The futher apart these are the more likely you are torn apart (mental illness)
The third principle is Totally introspective attitude toward truth. The truth is subjective and within us. Atmavidya means to look at your own sole. the only place you will find the truth is inside you, the truth is not outside you. You cant see the world from someone elses eyes.Westerns see the truth outside.
The fourth principle is Monistic Idealism. The truth is one and it is in the world of ideas. Ultimate truths are singular and simple. When things get complicated the futhur from the truth you get. When S. Hawlking was asked his phiolsophy on life he answered, "Do your best". His answer was simple. Evil is always complicated and confusing. Everytime you are in the presence of evil it is complicated and confusing but that does not mean if someone is complicated and confusing he is evil. This principle is closely related to the first principle. You will find more truth in loving someone than a surgeon will learn if he operates on that person.
