There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting. - Gautama Buddha

Most delightful 13 minutes of learning

When accused of being mad, bhagwan ramakrishna paramhansa said: 'how is it possible for the one who thinks of consciousness all the time to lose consciousness?' For the one who has realized, he alone has woken up. To him, all of the world looks like a mere dream, a mere play of the divine dreamer (mother, as sri ramakrishna called it). The brahmajnana path involves self enquiry(who am I ?) and is meant to dissolve the questioner. Simple as it seems, the path of jnana is not at all easy. It requires us to reject all and search for the supreme. It requires discrimination - saying neti to all that is not the divine consciousness. The path of bhakti, on the other hand is easy. It involves the directing of all feelings-good and bad to god alone- the feelings of santa, Dasya, sakhya,vatsalya and madhur. To the one who thinks of himself as in relationship with god, and thinks that all there is (this world and its beings) belong to god alone, loves all as they are all god's. In him the whole of god consiousness manifests, and all, including the attachment to this little self, dissolves in the fire of bhakti and he attains to immortality. For him all has become god including himself. That's why you would not see as many sannyasis in India as Bhaktas from all around. Almost every household pursues bhakti in subtle or strong form. May this land be blessed with holy places from all the religions always. Om namah shivaya.

Hearing these ultimate truths; the dull witted man is bewildered. Hearing these ultimate truths; the wise man retreats within in ultimate bliss and appears dull witted. (As Ramakrishna paramhansa appears dull witted in deep samadhi) (Ashtavakra) With regards to your use of the word "questioner", the question is actually already desolved and its just that the questioner doesnt know it (yet). The questioneris on 'the journey' and mustn't be provided the concept that the viel of questions and answers is illusion else one may hinder this blessed journey. The questioner hasn't yet undercovered the illusory viel to automatically realise this (not that something else is now required). In reality there is no questioner because there are no answers. The supreme reality is and alone is. Questions and answers are just imagined. On this topic and studying the Astavakra Gita it becomes apparent to be a subtle extension to the Great Bhagavad Gita and imdeed a reminder of Astavakra Gita 2.15: "in reality knowledge, the knowable, and the knower do not exist." Referring ofcourse to Bhagavad Gita chapter 13. Shankrachaya, Atma Bodha: Distinctions between knower, known and knowledge are absent in the true self, Atma. This is because Area's nature is limitless, non-dual consciousness. It alone shines. As Kabir says: I laugh when when I hear that the fish in water is thirsty I laugh when I hear people go on pilgrimage to find God God is within. It is not an external attainment that is somewhere in the future and other than here and now. God is here now. Now here. And nowhere because he is nowhere outside of you. God is not other than you. Infact the aspect "other than you" is not. It cannot exist. Therefore nothing exists other than you. Other than God. Indeed as you say all gets dissolved in the fire of bhakti. Bhakti is indeed without a doubt the greatest and the greatest of all Jnana. Hari Aum Tat Sat 🙏

@@jshdhdyjfjdjfhfyyene731 Very true. As ramana maharshi says: ' God cannot be seen because he alone is the seer' ...and Vivekananda puts it forward too : 'God is knowable and unknowable. Knowable in the sense that he is the closest possible thing to you. He alone is the close one all other relations die away. It is because he is you and you are him. He is unknowable because to know an object, there must be a subject. But It is impossible to see god as an object because he himself is a subject. There is no object. All is god and god alone.

Wonderful conversation. This is from the perspective of an unrealised soul. A realised soul already knows that Brahman (consciousness) alone exists and there is no seeker distinct from Brahman, and hence the term self-realization makes sense.

Very well said 😊

Swami Sarva Priyananda is probably the greatest Indian philosopher after Swami Vivekananda. 🙏🏽

Swamiji's responses to questions are always laced with wit, self-effacing humor and, most important of all, penetrating insights. But this one takes the cake (or cookie!!). Thanks to Swamiji for pointing out in what sense does Advaita term the world we experience to be "false" and how the understanding of it offers a direct path to enlightenment. Yet, I yearn for the next "Ask Swami" session!

Devotion (bhakti) is the poetry of the soul, and knowledge (jñana) is the poet who represents it with ideas, and both are the divine arms that embrace the existence of the Self. All glories to Swami Sarvapriyananda who brings divine poetry and supreme understanding to all of us.

Swami can point fingers at the truth, but we have to see it.

What is a physical world to minded consciousness is just itself to pure consciousness.

The KEY word to remember is ‘manifestation’ of our realisation. All is mental masturbation of ego gone crazy until,through practice, realisation sets in that if there is only Brahman,the I is not. Humility,forgiveness,love,compassion and all such attributes automatically flow from us. Now imagine a world where the I is replaced by thou. Everything changes. Best wishes to all of us.

Ego is false and when we are in world we see collection of egos acting one upon other and making world move. When one realises there is no ego, he realises this world is born out of agyana (ego) hence one jump to conclusion this world is false. But when one realises more that he was being played by nature and he is part of nature. He is not doer, then unity comes and self identity that I am only this body is fakse then he become jagat(existence). again when one realises more...

Best explanation of Maya I've ever seen.

Swamijee, I had a dream that I was stuck up at parapet wall of house. It was so narrow that i was scarring to be there for longer time, neither I could jump up and climb on terrace nor I could take a decision of jumping down on ground ( considering more distances) suddenly I realised that such thing can not happen, I must be dreaming and as soon as I wake up I will find that I am safe on my bed but still neither I could wake myself up, nor could open the eyes. Hence decided that I should jump down (as climbing on terrace tried but could not succeed.) Even knowing that this is 100% dream, I scared of jumping down. But within next 5 minutes I woke up. This was my first time experience of knowing that I am dreaming. What is the meaning of above.

Because it is not permanent ❤🎉

Long leave guruji let the lord be with him always we love you we love you
