The Brahma Sutras, traditionally attributed to the sage Badarayana, are a foundational text of Vedanta philosophy. Composed in concise aphorisms, they systematise the teachings of the Upanishads and explore the nature of ultimate reality (Brahman), the self (Atman), and the path to liberation.

Divided into four chapters (Adhyayas), the text examines harmony in scripture, resolves philosophical contradictions, outlines spiritual practice, and culminates in the nature of liberation.
