Observation is all there is

Enticing as the ideas of Vedanta are, in the end it all boils down to observation.

According to Vedanta all perceivables are objects.

Thus thoughts and emotions are also objects just like any other.

Yet we have too much attachment to them. In fact we take them as what we are.

We are not an object and can never be perceived.

However, we attach to these subtle objects as soon as they arise.

This attachment then feeds them.

Thus, we need to develop the discipline of non attaching to these objects to be as pure Brahman.

The only way to do so is observation.

In the final reckoning enlightenment boils down to knowledge.

Knowledge that you are never the object but always the subject.

While the objects come and go the subject persists.
