The Universe as Seeing | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda explains the last verse from Chapter 2 of Yoga Vasistha Sarah. He draws upon G.R. Malkani's work, among others, to elucidate Drishti-srishti-vada, the doctrine of creation through perception.
The Yoga Vasishtha Sarah, translated as Nectar of Supreme Knowledge, is an Advaitic text consisting of 223 verses. Reference text: www.vedanta.com/store/Nectar-...

    We are in that era where self proclaimed godmen who have neither read the scriptures nor have had any experience roam every nook and corner of India. They just blabber whatever comes to their minds and their blind followers support them and defend them. In this era of blindness, Swami Sarvapriyananda is a gem of light and hope. He has not only read and understood the scriptures in Hinduism, but also has read the works and scriptures from other religions and philosophies as well. The way Swamy explains concepts to his students and disciples makes him the greatest of all teachers. Brahman created Swamy intentionally to become a monk and save us from this samsara. All glories to Swamy Sarvapriyananda 🌼

    Thank you Swamijee. Your natural ability to go on so many short and long tangents and still keep coming to the main topic is otherworldly. And all the tangents are amusing and full of knowledge and support the central topic. Your memory for details both subtle and mundane is supernatural. Really blessed to have run into you this lifetime. 🙏

    Swami ji. You’ve answered a question in this discourse that arose in me many years ago, when I was struck by this thought: all these systems of Vedanta, all this phenomenal world, all this talk of karma and rebirth and progressive purification, the puranas, and so on and so on, which are apparently millennia old, not to mention this ancient 13 odd billion-year-old universe, they all arise only in my consciousness. I myself have no means to assert that they existed independent of me, such assertion is not verifiable by me. Now you’ve told me this is the Drishti Srishti school… that’s a relief, that I’m not off my rocker, this question is addressed by “others”, if any… Still all this, including the phone I’m apparently typing on, exists only within this awareness. So I’m wondering who am I sending this to… 😅

    Its not enough to just get a question answered, its imperative to jump into the sadhana and climb the next step. The mind is very tricky and will keep going round in circles avoiding the basic physical effort required to be made to get out of its clutches. The same way as we see how urgent,how important it is to feed the body,its even more urgent and imperative to rise to the next level,wether achieved or not the effort has to be persistent tangible and real,abhyasa,otherwise it will not leave an imprint on the soul and we will lose link in next life, till the present body is alive, this effort has to be there continuously in the background of all other activities to maintain the continuity,otherwise it will sink back and karma will accumulate on the surface and to get out of the karma Bandha will take several births.We must keep the mind turned godwards all the time,literally,otherwise its just another fancy philospohy and death is a reality that can come anytime,anywhere.

    Three ways of looking at the universe, referred to by Swamiji can be told in the languages of the western philosophy as 1. Realism - Dristi Sristi bada. 2. Idealism - Sristi Dristi bada. 3. Non- dualism - Ajatabada. Among these the last one has few takers in western world.
