We know that vedas can be interpreted in many way. That's way there are different schools of thought in Hinduism. All of these schools understand vedas.in there own.
And they controdict each other a lot.
So the question comes which school of thought is correct. And most close to the truth and reality.
Because the world can't be dualistic, monism, and pluralistic at the same time. [This is just an example].
You can't, have bliss and no bliss ; or no consciousness or consciousness after moksha.
Even the fact that the Vedas are interpreted in different ways is something that is really wrong with some people. The Vedas were never written down, it was revealed via the breath of Prajapati Brahma about 3.11 trillion years ago (if you go by modern calculations). Vedas need to be learned as is by shishyas who hear it from their Guru. To get a sense of the purpose and the meaning behind what is heard in Vedic hymns, Puranas and Upanishads are present.
Coming to monism and contemporary schools of thought, Adi Shankaracharya's commentaries need to be focused upon. The various interpretations possible of the Puranas, Smritis, Upanishads are all beautifully summarized in those commentaries.
