Contemporary philosophers must work hand in hand with eastern philosophers like advaita vedantins to solve the hard problem of consciousness. I thank all the Gurus from advaita vedanta for answering all the questions I had pondered about for the last 20 years and for giving me a wake up call on the matters of my real nature...... I now enjoy all the experiences with no struggle and without losing sleep over this illusory world.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is nothing in the universe that is not conscious. There is one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively through every particle that exists, seen or unseen.
The hard problem of consciousness is not to differentiate consciousness from physical things, but to differentiate consciousness from ego. Many mistake ego as Bodha.Pure consciousness alone is real, everything else is Maya,and Maya is the power of Brahman. Consciousness condense to form mass,.mas has gravity,and gravity...space and time.and all the world..
The CPU can differentiate the color of your robe but will not have any emotional reaction I develop on the other hand a positive reaction called as bhakthi 🙏🙏🙏
or is the CPU(brain) sending the data(outside experience) corresponding to the colors to the OS(mind) for it to differentiate and then for YOU(atma) to WITNESS?
Scientists say there's a brain in the heart. There's a nervous system in the heart which forms a brain with neurons. Are desires simply thoughts of the heart?
The One being worldbeing itself as subject and objects. Consciousness perceives itself into an illusory physical existence.This misperception is known as Maya.
1001.Existence [sat] itself shines as consciousness [chit]. Therefore, until the mind [chittam] is completely extinguished and [thereby] becomes the absolute existence-consciousness [kevala sat-chit], it is impossible for the petty mind, which is a false imagination [kalpana], a reflection of consciousness [chit-abhasa], to see the reality, which is the non-dual supreme consciousness. 1002. Only till the sun appears on the eastern horizon, will the self-conceit of that moon [shine proudly] in this world. [Likewise] only till the knowledge which is of the nature of consciousness [chinmaya-unarvu i.e. Self-knowledge] appears, destroying the delusive knowledge, the ego, will the self-conceit of the jiva’s knowledge [shine proudly]. Know thus. 1003. In the front of the great sun, the Self - [which ever shines] in the Heart, the sky of consciousness [chitakasa], without rising and setting - the mind of the Atma-jnani is, in the vast world, like the moon seen in broad daylight. 1004. Know that the mind which illumines the illusory world is [a mere reflected light] like the glittering mirrorlight, reflecting the bright sunlight. Guru Vachaka Кovai
When the self is seen as a blessing, The world opens up its illusive dressing, Opening within our real relation, Of pure consciousness in one elation. To see the self within everything, this is thee equality of creation, I so agree, the self existent, the shining orb of ONE.....🙏🕊️🙏
Only consciousness is. All else including body, self are illusory. Means it appears to be existing. Listen to Budhism also. Do not jump into conclusion. Your experience will testify. Study won't....❤❤
Everything that is is made of consciousness, so even stones and nails have consciousness because everything is consciousness. A stone is conscious of it's stone-ness. Everything is conscious of it's own being.
Everything is consciousness, including sound, smell, and your thoughts, encompassing both what you have known and what remains unknown to you.. It's not that they possess consciousness; rather, they are manifestations of consciousness itself. Perhaps we should use a different term to describe it, as the word "consciousness" implies awareness., if you think this statement from human ego centric you will not actually understand the truth. In the state of oneness, you and a piece of rock are not fundamentally different.
Consciousness implies INTELLIGENT awareness. Awareness is not the same thing as intelligent awareness. Every-thing is a manifestation of awareness, not every-thing demonstrates intelligent behavior. That is the difference between one thing that is intelligent and one thing that is not such as a rock. This is what folks refer to as "is this conscious", aka is the object (manifestation of awareness) acting in a manner that implies having intelligence. What is considered intelligent and not intelligent is another story (it's essentially human ego centric, that some-thing is intelligent because it can act like me), my point is that you're misunderstanding the words (like most folks too). The hard problem of consciousness is effectively asking the conditions necessary for some-thing to be conscious (aka how does an intelligent manifestation of awareness arise). This is still valid in Advaita Vedanta because awareness is preserved, what has changed is the recognition of some-thing as being conscious when before it wasn't. ^I should mention that this only works in the system of duality, aka delusion. If you're working in philosophy/science then you must by default assume certain things, one of which is that there are some consistent laws which dictate a system's behavior (permanently or temporarily). In oneness, there are no distinctions and so consciousness is said to come to a rest (for intelligence is based on division/dividing experience).
Can you please define what is a Mind? And why mix religion with modern scientific neurology and philosophy? Science deals with physical and other verifiable things like energy. Religion mostly deals with superstition. I know computers more than anything else - i'm not convinced with his analogy of the CPU and human brain. A CPU is just an specialized chip integrated with more general features and circuits than the rest of chips. Controllers are simplified CPUs, too. Computer components depend on Electromagnetic energy to operate. The reason a software can operate a dumb hardware is: bcs all computer hardware contain microscopic circuits, transistors (switch or amplify), Diodes, capacitors etc that can interact with software in the quantum level (nano-technolgy). And all software is made of EM energy. These are welknown facts and cannot be compared to human brain which is mostly still a mystery. Yes, Pan-Psychism makes some sense but it's coined by Scientists, however it doesn't address the spiritual realm. I think consciousness is just the same as the spiritual realm, which is basically a universal non-physical energy that all physical brains interact with, and after death it retains some worldly events like the "Life Review" etc. Please define what a Mind is? Thanks all

Why?@@yerpderp6800
Thank you, Swamiji! What a great suprsie to get home from work and see that you posted a new video! 🙏🙏🙏
There is nothing in the universe that is not conscious. There is one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively through every particle that exists, seen or unseen.

Beautiful explanation
My question however, is when will swami tadatmananda show us his classical guitar skills? ❣️
Great explanation Swamiji the doubt that has been lingering in my thinking which is now cleared. Pranams
Apart from the size of the medium the physical nature of medium like transparent translucent opaque also governs the reflection
This the subject of the meaning in all objects is pure consciousness. The main embellishment of creation is awareness. One without a second.
Marvelous 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pranam Swami ji
That was a really good one swami, really good and a total home run turns out the hard problem really is a soft ball ⚾
For 2nd question we cn also use the analogy of electicity and various electrical divices. 🙏
Namaste Ji. Why the Question and answers videos have suddenly been stopped? Thanks!
It makes sence I taught I was the only fool in this universum. Now you are too❤

Our body is equal to the universe, like, cells as planets,galaxies and solar families etc.,

The world opens up its illusive dressing,
Opening within our real relation,
Of pure consciousness in one elation.
To see the self within everything,
this is thee equality of creation,
I so agree, the self existent, the shining orb of ONE.....🙏🕊️🙏
