      You can scientifically test consciousness by seeing if your consciousness can influence matter by telling someone to do something and seeing if that can effect the matter in their body, like moving their left or right hands or feet.

      Swamiji good attempt to explain Advait Vedant. (The soul of Sanatan Dharma)
      But be responsible what you convey for the society….. Advaita Vedant arise from “ suniyawad or zeroism of Buddhism”. Buddhist scholars repeatedly said don’t move in the trap of “ zeroism” becoz it will lead to a world of non- existence or non-real world where the purpose of life lost. This mean when you realise that our existence is of nothing. our existence make no sense…..or other word doing anything is useless. This understanding make society lazy, non-productive and full of orthodoxy teaching of Gods…..that is happening in India
      Those who teach Advaita Vedant also support Idol worship ……..which is no where near!!!!!
      Please don’t be in the delusion of grandiosity which cost darkness to the society
      Please practice what you teach……if you teach Advait Vedant than remove all idol worship, if you teach idol worship remove Advait Vedant from the teaching……….🙏🙏

      There is significant difference between the two views even though prima facie they seem to have a lot of concurrence. I watched an extensive discussion between ,Kastrup and Michael Matthews, an Advaita vedānta master. Matthews emphatically declared that all experience and suffering was illusory while Kastrup insisted that all experience was real but all reality was mental, therefore the everything was real. The denial of the reality of suffering was very difficult for Kastrup to accept and I felt exactly the same
      I think this new discussion going on between Eastern metaphysics and analytical idealism is going to prove fruitful. For me, I have detected a weakness in Advaita vedānta : it's focus on cosmic reality leads it to actually deny other levels of being / experience as unreal. The radical ontology of Advaita does not answer our human needs. Whereas analytical idealism can see that ALL reality is non physical or "mental" but all experience which arises from excitations of cosmic consciousness are absolutely real. The illusion is of physicality pet se but NOT of experience. Thus, analytical idealism bridges the gap between ontic reality and experience, between cosmic bliss and suffering, and shows where these levels might taken together find us a roadmap towards true understanding.

    The final statement is a very important one. You're right in thinking that this discussion of the scientific origins of reality's might threaten Vedanta teachings. But the problem with science is lacking its own understanding of subjectivity. This is why Vedanta teachings teaching will stand the test of time 😉. However as part of limitations of self inquiry one could assume that Vedanta would be limited in objectivity. However in my experience (and i hope keen readers also understand this) this leads to enhanced objectivity. Why? Because i am aware of my own conscious experience and so i am aware of what i am projecting onto reality.
    Anyone who pursues and understands vedantic teachings can use science as a way to understand this manifestation of reality we find ourselves in.

    Thank you Swamiji for exemplifying the spirit of self-inquiry- the ultimate quest! Imagine how disappointing it would be to find the source of consciousness and put it in a bottle or define it in an algorithm. Rather I sense, it is because consciousness is not graspable that everything is possible. To sink into the essence of your very own being is to understand consciousness as the source of itself. To get even close to this is like watching the most beautiful sunrise - the heart begins to melt in uncontainable pure joy. Consciousness is not an isolated ’dead’ thing. The journey of self discovery, is enabled by the purification of the heart and the mind, that goes through the heart and through the mind. The perceivable world is full of life and death, all coming and going, the witnessing of which renders one into dumbstruck awe. Consciousness is not even the ‘life” that I feel.. not even “the feeling of existence”, who I think I am .. or am not.. and therefore not death either… Despite all the doubt, speculation, conjecture & disappointment. Embracing all aspirations, hope and wonder stands the immediate knowledge of our true selves - that we name “consciousness” - the realisation of which is pure love - enough to make you cry the pure tears of a child come home forever 💛🌸🌏✨✨🙏

    As someone who leans toward Jnana Yoga, I consider Advaita Vedanta the right path for me. Your beautiful exposition clarified things even further for me. May I request the following topics for your future videos: "What is the difference between Advaita and Dvaita?" Also, "What is the difference between human consciousness and artificial intelligence?" (Not so much the technological aspect, but how both the conscious mind and an app's prompt-generated content on a topic appear to be based on an algorithm that reviews stored data.)

      The only thing they could ever do is show you a correlate, but never the Qualia. And as we know, correlation does not equal causation . Matter, only looks like matter because our perceptions have evolved to present it to us that way, same goes with neurons and brains. Matter/neurons the way they appear does not have its own stand alone existence apart from the observer. Bernardo Kastrup explains this beautifully if anyone’s interested.

    There was no patience or dedication necessary for hearing you to the end, I was hanging on to every word with intense interest, it was an inspiring and insightful talk and you addressed many issues that I have been ruminating on for years. Science will never identify a substance called "consciousness" as another fundamental force of nature like electromagnetism or the strong and weak nuclear forces since consciousness is not a force of nature but the ground of being in which nature and its forces are manifest. Rene Descartes was in a way right in his philosophy of ghosts and machines, but he got it the wrong way round, the ghost is not in the machine, the machine is in the ghost and I think that science today is slowly coming round to that view.

    Consciousness, a complex metaphysical subjective phenomenon; has been tackled with clarity and excellent analysis with the objective co-relates.
    Well said Swamiji. Advaita Vedantic self-inquiry of witness within, has and will continue to stand up to the test tested eternal truths in the the way of meta-physical experiences. Meaning, it is only the Consciousness that can experience itself.
    Let me expand more. Any self-enquiry tool, such as the intellect, which itself is the manifestation of Consciousness, cannot experience Consciousness. Only Consciousness can Self experience itself. And that is where science and its analytical methods, will continue to find difficulty finding answers to "hard problem of Consciousness."

If one puts the brain in a certain state (e.g. by administrating propofol to induce general anaesthesia) there is no witness anymore; The "light goes out" just as in a dreamless sleep. Why is this the case?

Likewise, when someone touches you, you wake up because the brain is activated, but I don't see how this implies that "the self is present" during sleep. This seems like a huge leap of faith and not based on direct experience. As far as we know, during dreamless sleep, coma, general anaesthesia, or death, the light goes out and a lot is known about the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms. I know that some people (e.g. Nisargadatta Maharaj) say that they are aware during dreamless sleep and I believe that it is indeed possible to attain such a state,, but I am convinced that this still relies on an intact brain.

    Thank you for this stimulating video. I don't think that Science And Advaita are talking about the same thing when they use the word "Consciousness". It's 2 different "things" for me. For science, consciousness is part of the human experience. The sensation of being a "me" an "I" can be in part the produce of my mind, of my story, of my memories. This is the mundane part of my self. The part who belong to the world and that is produced by/in the world. And there is this other part, the only one that really is and that is not subject of any experience, and that cannot be grasped by any means. By definition, consciousness (Brahman) will always be out of reach of science. So I don't think that science and religion (Advaita specificaly) can meet and establish a dialogue.

    My question is this:
    If the consciousness is not materially connected to the brain, then what happens to consciousness when a person goes into comatose condition where all body functions are intact and the autonomous system keeps that person alive but totally unconscious about the environment and is unable to function within the normal functioning? Does consciousness gets impaired with the damage to the portion of brain?

      The answer to your question lies in how you define consciousness. Consciousness as defined in neuro science as a response to stimulus is different from vedantic consciousness which is that unchanging reality that reveals your thoughts, emotions and perceptions.
      BTW, this is my understanding from Swamiji's teachings on his website and on You Tube.

      Rainbow picture Over-Consciousness,
      Colors picture Under-Consciousness =
      Day-Consciousness and Night-Consciousness.
      Instinct, Gravity, Feeling, Intelligence, Intuition, Memory,
      our physical body, is a Gravity-Body, at Night, We do Move our
      Day-Consciousness, to the Night-Bodies, (Deep-Sleep)
      one by one, via the Coupling-Body, (REM)
      Dreams, NDE, OBE, Coma, messages, Visits, Warnings,
      is experienced by Day-Consciousness, via the Coupling-Body.
      So, Day-consciousness Never sleep, it just goes in Circuits,
      Day/Night, and Larger. Our Body is a Organ-circuit, correspond
      with respective Bodies during Day/Night-circuit.

      Try subbing in consciousness for awareness and read it again.
      "If the **awareness** is not materially connected to the brain, then what happens to **awareness** when a person goes into comatose condition where all body functions are intact and the autonomous system keeps that person alive but totally **unaware** about the environment and is unable to function within the normal functioning? Does **awareness** gets impaired with the damage to the portion of brain?"
      Once you do that, can you see how it makes sense now?

    How a limited entity can be a source of an all pervading infinite consciousness? The source of such consciousness can only be things present everywhere. Can it be space and entity so far known as well as unknown!

    thoughts aren't knower of thoughts, and emotions are just expressions of our attachments to objective objects, we don't get emotional over anything that we are not attached too. But what is it that makes that attachment possible? Answer: The pleasure principle, and that pleasure principle is of the self. It is because we are beings that seek gratification of our senses that makes us attached to those things that give us pleasure and from that attachment comes emotion. But the pleasure principle can't be observed as being of brain matter. So, the knower represents " chit " and the pleasure principle represents " ananda" (bliss ) both of these aspects of the self can't be attributed to neurons.

    Having studied for many years I'd say Hermetic philosophy, or 'Hermeticism', and Advaita Vedanta, are arguably the same but by different terminology.

    In one ear and out the other. I might have to listen to that again. Anyway, I am consciousness, which is not a thing. If someone were to supposedly find some source of consciousness, consciousness would still have to be before whatever source that is to say that it exists. 🙏

    I came recently to consider that a thought, an idea could be seen in some "ridiculous" way as a kind of object and now I wonder if this is part of Indian philosophy?? It could be Plato too, not sure.

    Thank you Guru. We cannot explain consciousness because we all have a different consciousness. That is what make us unique. Science experiments, researches are conducted by scientists who look and explain the unknown from their own point of view. Only Brahman can exist.

    As per vedanta, it is through interaction with inner and outer environment ĝives birth to intelligence,knowledge and super knowledge.Nothing can come out of nothing,,so it is not virtual reality.

    I read somewhere that brain is responsible for consciousness. It was a scientific article. I asked them what if consciousness exists seperately from brain. There is still no response to it. 😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂. They can't disprove it. Theirs is just a concept based on neurological functions.

    Which Advaita does he resonate with? There are legions of Advaitas. Neo/pseudo, traditional, most of what is called Advaita today is a mix of Buddhism, materialism, new age and Advaita, etc. We must exercise the same caution with what is called "Advaita" today and its exponents, as we exercise with materialism.

    Brain is concentration of cells with tiny consciousness of cells and cells are just collection of atoms which have consciousness, there is no reason to think robot isn’t conscious, anything which has many interactions would be conscious and we have no way to prove it.
