Vedanta the meaning is the end of Veda.
If we are not sure about what scripture it is, here Swami is very clear about it. It is Vedanta that makes us the rock on the shore, unaffected by the waves.
He calls it even a Vedanta-saturated heart.
And he mentions our spirit of adventure and our own reality.
We should board the train of spiritual discipline now and reach the terminus which is Jnana and often we hear some people telling us that they are not into Jnana and it is misunderstood as intellectual and Bhakti is the heart, but there is no heart without the head, truth has to come from the heart.
If we think heart is feeling and love only and truth has to do with intellect, it is a misunderstanding.
Truth is based on insights and therefore it has to be the heart and right action is the reflection of truth that comes up in the heart.
If we have truth and right action blended, we have peace and that needs to be understood. And when we understand that we have to blend truth and right action to find peace, we don't imagine peace as a mind state, we know it has to do with realization and only when we have those three things, right action, truth and peace, we are able to get the experience of pure love.
It is not what we imagine love is on the feeling level only, it is truth that comes from the heart the insight.
If people separate in their mind Bhakti, devotion and Jnana, wisdom it is probably because they don't listen to Swami's words.
And probably it is just as an excuse, but here Swami is clear beyond doubt, without knowledge it is impossible, without wisdom even if there is love, it will not be pure love. It is the wisdom that makes it pure.

We have all stations on that journey, we have karma, action, upasana, contemplation and with Vedanta we will reach the terminus, that is the main thing to reach the terminus. That needs to be understood right.
Truth is in the heart and right action is its reflection and when we blend the two, truth and right action we have peace and if we separate truth and right action, we have only pieces left.
Some think they practice mostly Karma and others Bhakti only, but that are stations on the way, the terminus is realization, self-realization.
We have to listen to his words and we will not think and tell such wrong things and get to wrong conclusions.
He asked in the interview room, 'why are you here' and nobody knew the answer, after a while he gave the answer, 'self-realization.

The terminus is realization and that is without Jnana not possible and as he said not long ago, fulfillment in action will be there when the dawn of Jnana is there.
The terminus is realization.
