Thank you for this! I have been waiting to see Bernardo converse with the Swami for quite some time now. It was better than I had envisaged. How Bernardo's Idealism meshes in with Advaita, Buddhism and the other non dual religions, has made me understand the nature of existence better.
If I remember it correctly, it was Swami Vivekananda, who said that the whole world will wake up, when Western scientists discover and confirm the old truth of the East. It is slowly getting closer 😊
@@VedantaKesari NO ONE WAKES UP EXCEPT FOR FEW AS ALWAYS, we had billions of self proclaimed christians(messias...literal) but only a hand full if none followed and understood christ really, same with everything, people are herd animals, they follow what appears a certain way but they never have any expirience or understanding of it...
Swami Vivekananda, the chief disciple and successor to Ramakrishna, said that Ramakrishna initiated a mass tidal wave of spirituality that over the centuries will bring about mass spiritual awakenings. Many people are awakening even today. Eckhart Tolle is just one of many such people. Now science, which used to be the enemy of religion, is fast becoming its friend.
What I keep realizing more and more as I read, study, spend weeks in retreats, go on pilgrimages to India, etc. is how deeply conditioned I am in the materialist mindset. Recognizing that is probably the best place to start. Great discussion. Thank you.
I've waited so so so long for a conversation between these two incredible human beings! The next one between Donald Hoffman and Swami Sarvapriyananda please!!!
I have been waiting for this interaction since the past one year when I saw Bernardo on TOE by Curt Jaimungal and his ideas seemed to resonate with advaita vedanta a lot of which I had been introduced to by Swami Sarvapriyananda. I am immensely grateful to you for this and I know it is going to be an amazing talk even before watching the video!

Brilliant. These two men are gifts to ailing humanity. We need to listen deeply to what they have to say and then look directly into our own experience.
Hello! I'm an Advaitin. This is one of the best talks I've seen. Congrats to the organisers, Bernardo and Swamiji. I've followed Bernardo's work on analytical idealism for a while. I'm so glad to see that he's had this fantastic chat with Swami Sarvapriyananda and his appreciation of the Upanishads. I would love to hear Bernardo's view on the Upanishads not just for his own self development but also how Vedanta can add to Modern Philosophy and the way out of Suffering. Thanks again. ❤️🕉️
Beautiful conversation ❤️🕉. Swamiji is so unassuming that his depth of understanding is easy to miss - and I had until now! 😮. Bernardo is just lovely, such a beautiful mind and more. Two things stuck out to me that I thought maybe in a different context would've been addressed more or differently. First was when Bernardo asked about bliss, and the second was his comment that he has no idea how to get back there (to his experience of the void is what he was referring to). I do think Bernardo appreciated Swamiji's answer, which was a great one, but I thought it would be good to add that bliss really is a very limited and even misleading definition of "Ananda" - and therefore not particularly helpful to someone trying to understand it as Bernardo was. Perhaps broadening the definition to "limitless fullness" or "no-second-thing-ness" is helpful IMO to point to our unimpeded nature and to convey more closely what existence / consciousnesses is "like" prior to experience. The second thing is simply that the idea of "getting back" to a certain experience is a dualistic viewpoint, whereas "you" (as swamiji said many times) are the unchanging witness of - in this case - both the one who "experienced the void" and the one who now apparently experiences something else. Swamiji did eloquently speak about extracting wisdom from experience at a different point in the conversation, just not then. Thank you to the organizers and participants for an incredible dialogue 🙏🏻❤️
Exactly. Bliss is more like Purnata or “fullness”, according to the Jñānārṇavatantra. And bernado's "getting back" to that experience means feeling the same bodily experience that he felt during his time in that state.
I fully resonate Bernardo’s feelings of wanting to ‘get back’ to the void/silent state that seems to have ‘gone away.’ Its living in this dense 3D reality that constantly poisons the body/mind daily.. the air, the ground, the water.. he did say the past is experienced now. Nothing (no thing) exists, ever actually happens. It’s the usual paradox of 3D trap here.
When hearing this incredible bright Bernardo I get a kind of exctasy. It is mind blowing, giving so much joy. His words are coming from real understanding with such analytical beauty, so well said, so genuine. A real inspired western pandit. He and dear Sarvapriyananda are the western and eastern rays of a beautiful dawn in a greater inexpressible universal mind...Love from VIenna
Precision in thinking is a beautiful thing. It's still just pointers, but the best pointers result in the likelihood that experience will ensue. Both these two are great thinkers and therefore great pointers to that which their thinking points to. I love both of them. Well done!
My path to this insightful discussion was by way of TOE podcast who introduced me to Bernardo, who I discovered via Donald Hoffman. I studied Tibetan Buddhism and for some reason was uninterested in Hinduism until now. This conversation was so illuminating and rewarding. I’m very thankful to the organizers and participants. The similarities between analytic idealism and Vedanta give me hope for humanity. Western philosophy is coming around.
I absolutely love these two gentlemen ❤ They are both so articulate. Swamijis summary of Vedanta in less than 20 minutes covers it all. It is the most important education. And Bernardo is so humble and authentic, it is a pleasure to listen to them. Thanks to Philosophy Babble for organising this. I mean what luxury! To be able to hear two great people in the comfort of your own living room. Truly grateful.
I just wanted to share my thoughts on Bernardo's question on the void experience and bliss. It is the difference between a contentless experience and being content. A person experiencing the void might not necessarily be content. It might not be the experience that they want to be having. Hence they move away from the state in order to report it. Whereas bliss is being content irrespective of the contents of experience. An extreme example would be a person in rage or agony might still be content as they are experiencing exactly what they want to experience. The fact that these experiences exist is evidence that bliss generates it. But why would one want that? That is the real question. And only the real you knows the answer.
Ohhh bless you and thank you both... A truly magical meeting of minds... And thanks to all involved in bringing these two divine souls together before UZ, happy birthday Ivy. X bless you this gift for your self has also been a gift to human kind. .. much love to all... Arwen
Thank you both for this rare account of sheer revelation, intensely human account that brings our world to a better understanding of interrelationships of consciousnessness and unconsciousness. "Path presupposes distance: If He be near, no path thou at all. Verily it maketh me smile To hear of a fish in water athirst. 🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵
Me siento reflejada en la sonrisa de satisfacción y reconocimiento de Bernardo del comienzo. Yo podría estar escuchándolos a los dos todo el día. Este diálogo es un sueño hecho realidad.
Thank you Swami and Bernardo for this very insightful dialogue. I am a didgeridoo player and resonate with Bernardo’s description of his experience of the void. Finally I understand what I’ve been experiencing for 2 decades playing this ancient and profound instrument which has a single fundamental note or drone that I can modulate to generate various frequency patterns or distortions of the fundamental note. I’ve always felt transported to a timeless, infinite dimension, which I can now confidently describe as “the experience of emptiness” rather than the emptiness of experience. Amazing 🙏🏼
Look up Ramana Maharishi description of his enlightenment experience. Fear of death had vanished at once and forever. Absorption in the self has continued from that moment right up to this time. Other thoughts may come and go like the various notes of a musician, but the 'I' continues like the basic or fundamental sruti note which accompanies and blends with all other notes.
Flute playing in the Zen and especially the Indian scenario - also has the idea of the emptiness of the flute and the Cosmic life breath - animating the sound. Lord Krishna - is said to love playing - this Bamboo reed.
Absolutely fantastic. I have also been hoping this conversion would happen. Thank you everyone who was involved in bringing Bernardo Kastrup and Swami Sarvapriyananda together!
Bernardo's Sinusoidal wave with or without information was one awesome thought of understanding I found for consciousness. Swamiji's examples are always the easiest to understand as usual. Thanks!
Thank you so much for organizing this meeting of minds! Ever since I encountered Bernardo Kastrup's Idealism, I've always wondered how is it different or similar it is to advaita - and to have the comparison and analysis done by swami is just brilliant! Thank you again!
Funny thing, stumbled on to Swami several years ago. Had read the Gita and was familiar with the Mahabharata. I then read the Upanishads. It made so much sense, I reaffirmed my traditional Christian practice. Crazy... paradoxical? As Whitman says: "(I contain multitudes)" I call it walking and chewing gum at the same time. At any rate, thank you for presenting these two amazing men!! Vaya con Dios...[ ]...
Great conversation. Bernado's counter to so called "hard problem" was brilliant. The Swami made an important contribution in pointing out both the importance and limitation of mystical experiences.
So grateful to be able to sit home comfortably and have access to such great minds! 🙏 I've been listening to Swamiji for years now and he's really changed my life by changing the way I see things. I've learnt Advaita from him and even Bhakti. Thank you so very much to everyone involved who's made this talk happen and made it available to us 🙏 I'll have to come back and listen to it a few more times to fully absorb every bit of this priceless conversation .
This conversation was one of the best and most enjoyable I have seen on TH-cam. I hope that Bernardo will talk to more proponents of Indian philosophy, including Yogacara and Vishitadvaita
Sorry. I think not. Because More Words and Practice given importance in All Indian Philosophies other than Advaita, and as Bernardo has no interest upon Languages and Words because of their Base/Description is still questionable, it's unlikely for a person like Bernardo to talk about those, IMHO.
@@viswa2311 Advaita Vedanta gives importance to words and practice equally. Look up how the monastics are trained. No need of validation from anyone. It is not the philosophy that the west have to learn from Bharat. Rather, how 'darshan' informs even the minutest details of 'rashtra' as well as 'rajya', is the thing to learn. In the current setting, 'rajya' seems like a lost cause for Bharat, but the 'rashtra' is still alive, if one looks closely. I know that the 'rashtra' has been stabbed, but it will survive. The various classical art forms, language, architecture, society etc are merely expressions of the 'rashtra'. Obviously, Bharat has a lot to learn from the 'West' as well. Ignoring the 'material' is only going to lead to 'suicide'. I understand that. But, please, western philosophy wrt the 'self' is useless. Whether 'they' 'agree' or 'disagree' should be immaterial.
I am making this comment even before listening to the content . I am almost in tears thinking of quantum physics and Idealism meet Advaita Vedanta 🙏. I am still recovering from Swamiji talking to Michael James 🙏. Two amazing people talking together - Phew . E=🕉️ . Peace and Love to all who are drawn to this important conversation.
BK's "I could just sit here and listen to you all day" brought such joy, a lump rose in my throat 😊 Then later I remembered "The seventh key would come from the west" the east having found the first six.
so great to have 2 great minds during this discussion. I usually get frustrated when Bernardo is with someone who just doesn't get him and can't ask the right questions or really dive into his mind. This was very refreshing.
It is just sheer joy to listen to these two men talking with each other. I've been following their podcasts for some time now and I wished I would get to listen to their conversation and it did happen! Thank you.
Such a joy to hear this information. As Dr. Kastrup described the numbers and terms I thought about raga and dvesa. The rishis wrote about difficult concepts so simply and beautifully.
I have been listening very regularly to Swamiji for the last several years and have had my perspectives on life/Reality forever altered... im mentally at peace due to the insights he's so beautifully shared. AND... I've become a big fan of Bernardo Kastrup's ideas as well, due to my interests in science/philosophy, BUT I was ultimately a bit curious how closely his personal beliefs matched with Advaita. Well, my 2 youtube world's collided into this engrossing discussion and I couldnt be more pleased to confirm that Bernardo is similar to Advaita Vedantin in many ways. ❤ Thank you for this discussion!!!!
I've watched and heard this conversation several times already and every single time I'm blown away by a new, very personal and experiential insight. Sravana, sravana sravana. When the mind is stilled and is devoid of all objects, you see the illumination for itself. Until then, you have enjoyed the light simply as a means to illuminate the objects of the mind... your thoughts, emotions, ideas, opinions, judgements, fears, hopes, plans, schedules etc...Empty mind illumined by illumination. I see the mind as room crammed full with belongings. A stilled mind is one where you have emptied the room of all objects and you can stand in the light and truly meet yourself...or the truth...❤
I found myself in the Void a few years ago after doing a practice called (on the Astral Pulse website) as the "phasing" technique for astral projection. One day after practising, I noticed a "tangible" type of "nothing".. just absolute emptiness. I walked around the house in a kind of bliss. There was No sense of self, no thoughts, no sense of being in the world, it was pure calm beyond the concept of calmness. No words can describe it.
Namaskar Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj 🙏🏻 Namaste Bernardo Sir 🙏🏻 Thank you Philosophy Babble for sharing this enlightening conversation.🌹 It covered a wide spectrum of subjects.
Thank you, Bernardo and Swami Sarvapriyananda, for this amazing interview/discussion. I think that one of the reasons the western world finds it so difficult to even question the possibility of what you have shared being true is related to what Sri Ramana Maharshi once stated--that the "I"-thought is the mother of the world. The trouble with that, from the western approach to "reality" is that the "I" is assumed to be of flesh and bones--thus, it literally DEMANDS that world be made of "matter" in which to "exist." When we understand our true Self on a deeper level, our paradigm of the world in which we "live and move and have our being" can be understood more thoroughly and deeply. What "i" have found very useful is to remember that every form that we see is a representation, only. To believe that there are objects supposedly "out there" beyond the mind that correlate to the images seen is an assumption. 🙏🏻
We separated from the Source - assumed individuality and started this existence - with 'I - am' (but with this first thought came - the fear - associated with separation). So, the world we live in and so forth - has all this in the mix. Far from clarity, simplicity or purity. That is with the Highest and we need to learn and do - as That.
Do not really know what is being asked. Sorry. Just a spiritual aspirant - meditating - to develop love - and merge - in the heart of the Beloved. Practical method - not too much philosophy - realisation is practical - essencefully so. Fare thee well.
Obrigado por esta conversa. Curiosamente - ou talvez não - dois dos intelectuais desde o início do meu caminho, que continuo a ouvir com assiduidade. Vê-los juntos nesta troca de ideias é um privilégio. Obrigado.

If I remember it correctly, it was Swami Vivekananda, who said that the whole world will wake up, when Western scientists discover and confirm the old truth of the East. It is slowly getting closer 😊

a bit of self confidence, dominant speech and charisma and you can lead millions of people anywhere, doesnt matter if you are a heartless lunatic

so great to have 2 great minds during this discussion. I usually get frustrated when Bernardo is with someone who just doesn't get him and can't ask the right questions or really dive into his mind. This was very refreshing.
It is just sheer joy to listen to these two men talking with each other. I've been following their podcasts for some time now and I wished I would get to listen to their conversation and it did happen! Thank you.
What an absolute delight to see these two beings sharing the same space..... 😲🙏🌟
Thank you for pairing two gems....
Fantastic - from start to finish!
Much Awaited!!
Wow this is what I have been waiting for a long time. Two great mind and human being discussions on the Consiouness. 👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. Absolutely fantastic to hear this conversation.
Thanks for listening
Love love love this!
So glad you give yourself such wonderful birthday presents, Ivy, that can be shared by so many of us so that we may open our hearts to reality!😊
Thank you so much! Absolutely 🪷
Brilliant conversation. I’ll be adding this to my “best of” YT Advaita videos. Namaste. ❤
What a beautiful discussion. Thank you all 🙏
The discussion on Bliss was so helpful to me, thank you!
Been waiting for this one!!! Thanks a million
Such a joy to hear this information. As Dr. Kastrup described the numbers and terms I thought about raga and dvesa. The rishis wrote about difficult concepts so simply and beautifully.
This was a great conversation!! Amazing viewpoints from the monk make so much sense.
I have been listening very regularly to Swamiji for the last several years and have had my perspectives on life/Reality forever altered... im mentally at peace due to the insights he's so beautifully shared. AND... I've become a big fan of Bernardo Kastrup's ideas as well, due to my interests in science/philosophy, BUT I was ultimately a bit curious how closely his personal beliefs matched with Advaita. Well, my 2 youtube world's collided into this engrossing discussion and I couldnt be more pleased to confirm that Bernardo is similar to Advaita Vedantin in many ways. ❤
Thank you for this discussion!!!!
Monkkeygawd, Good to know there are others out there on our planet, whom are engrossed in Swami's teaching just like I am.❤
Beautiful conversation 👏🕊❤
I've watched and heard this conversation several times already and every single time I'm blown away by a new, very personal and experiential insight. Sravana, sravana sravana.
When the mind is stilled and is devoid of all objects, you see the illumination for itself. Until then, you have enjoyed the light simply as a means to illuminate the objects of the mind... your thoughts, emotions, ideas, opinions, judgements, fears, hopes, plans, schedules etc...Empty mind illumined by illumination. I see the mind as room crammed full with belongings. A stilled mind is one where you have emptied the room of all objects and you can stand in the light and truly meet yourself...or the truth...❤
What an outstanding conversation.
Brilliance collides ✨ thank you
I found myself in the Void a few years ago after doing a practice called (on the Astral Pulse website) as the "phasing" technique for astral projection. One day after practising, I noticed a "tangible" type of "nothing".. just absolute emptiness. I walked around the house in a kind of bliss. There was No sense of self, no thoughts, no sense of being in the world, it was pure calm beyond the concept of calmness. No words can describe it.
Thx u for bringing these two highly respected minds together ❤️ 💓 ❤ Swami needs a vaca..... 🎉
Namaskar Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj 🙏🏻
Namaste Bernardo Sir 🙏🏻
Thank you Philosophy Babble for sharing this enlightening conversation.🌹
It covered a wide spectrum of subjects.
Exceptional interview!
This was wonderful. Thank you all
Phenomenal. I’m a fan of both of these and a member of S.Sarvapriananda’s Vedanta Society in New York. So glad to see them together!
Omgoodness!!!! Incredible juxtaposition ⚡️⚡️💕
What a wonderful gift this talk, thank you Bernardo and Swamiji
Thank you, Bernardo and Swami Sarvapriyananda, for this amazing interview/discussion. I think that one of the reasons the western world finds it so difficult to even question the possibility of what you have shared being true is related to what Sri Ramana Maharshi once stated--that the "I"-thought is the mother of the world. The trouble with that, from the western approach to "reality" is that the "I" is assumed to be of flesh and bones--thus, it literally DEMANDS that world be made of "matter" in which to "exist." When we understand our true Self on a deeper level, our paradigm of the world in which we "live and move and have our being" can be understood more thoroughly and deeply. What "i" have found very useful is to remember that every form that we see is a representation, only. To believe that there are objects supposedly "out there" beyond the mind that correlate to the images seen is an assumption. 🙏🏻
We separated from the Source - assumed individuality and started this existence -
with 'I - am' (but with this first thought came - the fear - associated with separation). So, the world we live in and so forth - has all this in the mix. Far from clarity, simplicity or purity. That is with the Highest and we need to learn and do - as That.
@I-Am-Aware Representation or expression?
From a Raj Yoga meditator - about 50 years now and going stronger.
Fare thee well.
Do not really know what is being asked. Sorry.
Just a spiritual aspirant - meditating - to develop love - and merge - in the heart of the Beloved.
Practical method - not too much philosophy - realisation is practical - essencefully so.
Fare thee well.
@@user-hy9nh4yk3p It was a question for @I-Am-Aware
BLESSED TO UNDERSTAND THE TALK BETWEEN 2 great minds!
Obrigado por esta conversa. Curiosamente - ou talvez não - dois dos intelectuais desde o início do meu caminho, que continuo a ouvir com assiduidade. Vê-los juntos nesta troca de ideias é um privilégio. Obrigado.
Totally enjoyed… loved when Swami Vivekananda shared the computer had to have a beginning … TY… will listen again and again… ❤
This is great. Thanks so much
@54:15, fantastic insights into the hard problem of consciousness! Bernardo Kastrup is amazing!
Brilliant video!!
