It is amazing how today I was trying to remember in which lecture did Swami explain this exact point. I was ready to look for it in many lectures, I actually started with one today, and tonight, I opened KZread, and the first thing I saw was this video. How amazing!

God alone is, Everything is not ! 🙏🏻♥️

this is a unique philosophy which can finish all your fears in theory

One thing I want say. From the past years I have been practicing Raja Yoga and Jnana Yoga parallelly. First insights I got is from meditation that I am the witness consciousness and the world is an object to me including the body. 2nd insight I got from Jnana Yoga that I am the witness consciousness and the world is an appearance on me. It is not real(At first insight I included world to be real also).I found that I am both observer and substratum of the illusion called world's(waking,dreaming and deep sleep). Now my 3rd insight from Jnana Yoga thought me that I am observer,substratum and illusion. Infact, there can be no independent thing ever known as illusion(of the world) from me the consciousness. Not even the thing called illusion can exist as a separate thing from consciousness.

Your conclusions are on point. Thats why personal experience beats everything. Individually experiencing should always be given importance bcoz everything anyone says will always be a pointer. Only an individual should put that effort.

In the context of Advaita, the world is considered false because of its impermanence. Universes come and go, while the Supreme Self remains the same and is thus considered real.

Good Morning Maharaj. Great topics. Thankx. Everywhere is God present in our life every moment.

I get it now. wow you and me are one Swami it all is so peaceful there is no fear nor hate no anger no darkness all light. the peace is so intense.

I apologize for my recent disrespectful comment to you Swami. I have been extremely stressed about my country being on the verge of losing it's democracy. I hope you can forgive me, I am truly sorry for my disrespect.

The statement "the world is false" is misleading, leading to the devaluation of our lived experiences. Advaita Vedanta's snake-rope metaphor illustrates *pratibhasika satta* (illusory existence), where misperceptions arise from ignorance. However, a more accurate analogy is the pot-clay relationship: while the pot is clay, clay is not limited to the pot. Similarly, Atman-Brahman underlies all names and forms but is not confined to them. An even more insightful analogy is wave, ocean, and water. Ishvara is the ocean, individuals are waves, and the shared reality is water (Atman-Brahman). Waves (individuals) are forms of water (Brahman), emphasizing our non-separation from the underlying reality. This analogy underscores that while names and forms resolve into Atman-Brahman upon inquiry, they follow an intelligent order, or Dharma. Names and forms are not arbitrary or false; they embody the cosmic order. Recognizing our true nature as Atman-Brahman, we must respect Dharma. Some distort these teachings into life-denying doctrines, but true Advaita Vedanta affirms the empirical world as an expression of Brahman, advocating harmonious engagement with reality.

Philosophy means Darshana, I.e . To see the world in a completely different way , So it is said that if anyone sees the world the way it is (not the way we think or the world shows) Then reality or truth is not faar

The true sense in which the jagat is an illusion is it appears as a snake when in reality it's the rope, the two cannot coexist, as soon as you see the rope the snake perception vanishes for ever. And as in the mirage analogy though you continue to see the water in the mirage you know it's an illusion, in other words the world is as illusory as the water in the mirage.

If God is then there can’t be other but Shankarites posit Maya. A lot of mental gymnastics then ensues. I lean towards Sri Ramakrishnas view that it’s a both/and scenario. Much love 🙏❤️

Pujya swargiye Swamy Dayanand Saraswati also used to say the same thing. Look for his talks. Arsha Vidya Gurukulam. NJ.

Just like Gold in Jewellery, Substratum is the Truth and not the names and forms. Names and forms begins from Prana, Mind, Body to the whole world. Think ,It will be helpful to not to get illusive in the world. Sarvam Brahmamayam🙏

Not "giving a shit" is the superficial takeaway. But that's also just nihilism. The deeper lesson is to "not give a shit" until compassion stirs you. And compassion should always stir you. And behind that compassion? Who gives a shit.

​@@Corteum To say that the world is "false" is to say that it is "not two". In the Buddhist vernacular, "empty". When you realize "emptiness", then you can appreciate "fullness", ie, the truth of the world, JUST AS IT IS.

@@R_Priest So what youre saying they mean is that the world is not false, but that our interpretation of it is false... or r ather, our idea of the world as dual/separate is false... and that this can be first understood to some extent before the actual direct experience of knowing it. is this how you mean?

Claiming to be God is totally blasphemous and wrong. India has a tradition of worshipping materially inclined spirits, that they summon with food and drink offerings and wrongly call gods, yet they have no tradition of worshipping Almighty God. Instead they claim Almighty God is impersonal and they are are God, because they read about it somewhere. This is very sad and kills any hope of attaining salvation via Deification.

Cartesian dualism is to be blamed for this .

Are gods different from living beings. How will you relate god to a unicellular amoeba or paramecium. If god is consciousness then is god absent in an unconscious person due metabolic cause or for that matter any cause. You can not say every way of belief related to this world, humans , god is right. My belief has no meaning, truth remains the truth whether we know or we don't know. A philosopher's work is to reveal the truth. He is not a philosopher who says everybody can believe his own way. That is theology and not philosophy. With reverence you are practicing theology and not philosophy. A person who slaughters innocent animals to appease gods is living in falsehood and no way can he be supported that his belief of god is also right. Only A philosopher has the courage to speak the truth as Galileo showed.

The biblical prophet Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: "Unless thine eye be single..." Yeshua One with Christ ("Jesus Christ") taught Advaita, though organized Christianity doesn't understand, and does not. That's going to change when the Phoenix of Truth rises from the ashes of illusion. And we are entering the most trying of times, the burning fire known to Christians as the biblical Tribulation, with the anti-Christ mentality rising and soon to begin wreaking its full destruction. But all is part of the One Mind's design, which is perfect and complete and guaranteed to return all souls to their limitless Reality from this illusory realm of limitation. The best-kept secret in this entire world is how and why we fell into limitation. But that secret and all important mysteries have been revealed and published in these "end times": the end of the old Cycle of Time that the New Cycle may be born. Seek and ye shall find.
