I often watch the lectures of Sri Sarvapriyananda ji. Undoubtedly, he has an immense knowledge on our scriptures. The way he presents his lectures is very touching and attractive. Our genuine love and utmost regards to Maharaj ji.
This one lecture is enough to understand the deep question who am I? . Rest is just practice: we have a body : make it healthy and pure by selfless work . We have mind: purify it by engaging it in meditation. We have heart : purify it by diving in devotion. We have all of them: mind,body, heart'; hence in our daily life karma,bhakti,dhyana must be the integral part of our day to day life.
Nicely summed up !! Once this essence is well digested, it is practice all the way till the practised is resolved in PURE jnapti swarupam.... For that one prays for GRACE !! OM.

@@Srividya_youtube 🐟 02. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle OBJECT within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the cognitive faculties, plus the SUBJECT (the observer of all phenomena) - is to what most persons generally refer when they use the term “God”, since they usually conceive of the Primeval Creator as being the Perfect Person, and “God” (capitalized) is a personal epithet of the Unconditioned Absolute. However, this anthropomorphized conception of The Absolute is a fictional character of divers mythologies. According to most every enlightened sage in the history of this planet, the Ultimate Reality is, far more logically, Absolutely NOTHING, or conversely, Absolutely EVERYTHING - otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “Uncaused Nature”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera - yet, as alluded to above, inaccurately referred to as a personal deity by the masses (e.g. “God”, “Allah”, “Yahweh”, “Bhagavan”, etc.). In other words, rather than the Supreme Truth being a separate, Blissful, Supra-Conscious Being (The Godhead Himself or The Goddess), Ultimate Reality is Eternal-Existence Limitless-Awareness Unconditional-Peace ITSELF. That which can be perceived, can not be perceiving! Because the Unmanifested Absolute is infinite creative potentiality, “it” actualizes as EVERYTHING, in the form of ephemeral, cyclical universes. In the case of our particular universe, we reside in a cosmos consisting of space-time, matter and energy, without, of course, neglecting the most fundamental dimension of existence (i.e. conscious awareness - although, “it” is, being the subject, by literal definition, non-existent). Just as a knife cannot cut itself, nor the mind comprehend itself, nor the eyes see themselves, The Absolute cannot know Itself (or at least objectively EXPERIENCE Itself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Itself for the purpose of experiencing Itself, particularly through the lives of self-aware beings, such as we sophisticated humans. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness, in the same way that a dream is a person's sleeping narrative set within the life-story of an “awakened” individual. APPARENTLY, this universe, composed of “mind and matter”, was created with the primal act (the so-called “Big Bang”), which started, supposedly, as a minute, slightly uneven ball of light, which in turn, was instigated, ultimately, by Extra-Temporal Supra-Consciousness. From that first deed, every motion or action that has ever occurred has been a direct (though, almost exclusively, an indirect) result of it. Just as all the extant energy in the universe was once contained within the inchoate singularity, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the beginning of the universe, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. Discrete consciousness, on the other hand, is entirely dependent on the neurological faculty of individual animals (the more highly-evolved the species, the greater its cognitive abilities). “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (a Sanskrit maxim from the “Chandogya Upanishad”, meaning “all this is indeed Brahman” or “everything is the Universal Self alone”). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are, quintessentially, that! This “Theory of Everything” can be more succinctly expressed by the mathematical equation: E=A͚ (Everything is Infinite Awareness). HUMANS are essentially this Eternally-Aware-Peace, acting through an extraordinarily-complex biological organism, comprised of the eight rudimentary elements - pseudo-ego (the assumed sense of self), intellect, mind, solids, liquids, gases, heat (fire), and ether (three-dimensional space). When one peers into a mirror, one doesn't normally mistake the reflected image to be one's real self, yet that is how we humans conventionally view our ever-mutating form. We are, rather, in a fundamental sense, that which witnesses all transitory appearances. Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a culmination of that primary manifestation. That is the most accurate and rational explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY, via an ever-forward-moving trajectory. The notion of retributive (“tit-for-tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Likewise, the idea of a distinct, reincarnating “soul” or “spirit” is largely a fallacious belief. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human and non-human animal was determined by those two factors ALONE. Therefore, free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Chapter 11 insightfully demonstrates this truism. As a consequence of residing within this dualistic universe, we experience a lifelong series of fluctuating, transient pleasures and pains, which can take the form of physical, emotional, and/or financial pleasure or pain. Surprisingly to most, suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal agency - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts, emotions, and deeds, and that, likewise, other persons are autonomous agents, with complete volition to act, think, and feel as they wish. Another way of stating the same concept is as follows: suffering is due to the intellect being unwilling to accept life as it manifests moment by moment. There are five SYMPTOMS of suffering, all of which are psychological in nature: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including Homo sapiens, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” The human organism is essentially a biopsychological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements (which can be perceived with the five senses) and the three subtle material elements (the three levels of cognition, which consist of abstract thought objects), listed above. Cont...
The ANTIDOTE to all mental anguish is to firstly discern pain from suffering, then to achieve complete relief from that miserable state of existence, by abandoning the erroneous belief in personal authorship, and abiding in the primordial sense of being (the unqualified “I am”, which is one's core identity). This is the very same peace which is experienced each night during the dreamless phase of the sleep cycle. This "resting imperturbably as Flawless Awareness" can be practiced on a regular basis, until it is fully assimilated and integrated into one's life. Every person, from time immemorial, has been either intentionally or unwittingly seeking such causeless peace, most commonly by practicing one of the four systems of YOGA (religion) delineated in the sixteenth chapter of this work, or else in creating wealth and the acquisition of material possessions, or in psycho-physical pleasures. That peace of mind is often referred to as “happiness”, “joy”, or “love”, and often presumed to be a temporal state, since many assume, incorrectly, that continuous peace is unavailable in this life. Fortunately, that is not the case - it is eminently possible to live one's life acquainted with unbroken peace of mind, if destined. Following DHARMA (frameworks of authentic religion and societal duties) is not guaranteed to achieve that desired tranquillity of mind, but even so, it is beneficial for individuals, since it establishes a structure which enables one to more easily elevate oneself beyond the mundane, animalistic platform (i.e. the base pursuits of eating, sleeping and mating). Intrinsic to dharma is the division of the adult male population into the four classes of society and the inherent role of girls and women in society, as fully elucidated in latter chapters of this Holy Scripture. So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (ostensively) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all mental suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to approach an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another way (in alignment with your essential identity as The Divine). For one who has himself for a teacher, that man has a veritable fool as his teacher. Even if you adhere closely to the precepts of a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life - all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course. Furthermore, if you are suitably-qualified and it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to receive discipline from one of the EXTREMELY rare fully-enlightened masters residing on earth at any given time (perchance even the current World Teacher himself), and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by diligently studying authoritative doctrines (especially the most accurate and complete of all extant Scriptures, this “Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”), serving your guru with great reverence and devotion, and by deliberately avoiding undue harm to oneself, to other individuals, to society as a whole, and to the natural environment, including other life forms. Most beneficially, you are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the destructive ideology which supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for “food”) is, apart from illegitimate (non-monarchical) governance and feminism, arguably the foremost existential crisis. Best wishes for your unique, personal journey towards unalloyed peace and HAPPINESS! “The cure for all ignorance is unerring knowledge”. “You are this universe and you are creating it at every moment, because, you see, it starts now. It didn't begin in the past - there IS no past.” ************* “Find out who you REALLY are so that when death comes…there is no-one to kill, for while you are identified with your role, with your name, with your ego, there is someone to kill.

Listening to Swamiji for more than one year on the same subject that is non-dual Vedanta in different ways.....each time I'm mesmerized......what a wonderful orator......I just love listening him
Pranamam Swamiji. OM NAMO BHAGAVATHE SRIRAMAKRISHNAYA NAMO NAMA: All these vedantic classes.. discussions on Atman Brahman God.. All these flood of Spiritual knowledge in this dry desert-like world..... Started from That Avatharavarishta... Jai Ramakrishna. Om
Thank you Swamiji. I remember having a glimpse/recognition of timeless pure consciousness during a brief illness. I feinted while working at a computer due to a food allergy. I noticed that time doesn't exist without my mind. I remember noticing the emergence of my mind and the emergence of the memory of having been at the computer, but now I had no body, eyesight, and there was no world aside from what sounded like far away and muffled voices. I opened my eyes and was on my back, but the sickness of the food allergy was completely gone, miraculously. Only five minutes, or less, had ellapsed.
With great respects swamiji my humble pranaam I have been listening to for years now and have been initiated by Swami Gambhirananda ji Maharaj say in 1983 I was young then , but living in remote places in India I was not able to listen any talks delivered by .... Now it's like unfolding of my soul with only one luminous consciousness ...🙏🙏
No doubt Swamiji is explaining "The True Self" from different angles but focus is always the Same, "THAT THOU ART" in so pleasing way that it Touches at heart..om shanti om
Profound teaching directly from the Indian source in an European language after so many centuries of ignorance It was only in the 19th century that occidental philisophers began to talk of vedanta..Plus swamiji is doing it with his subtle tender way
very nicely explained by the highly respected Swami Sarvapriyananda . Its very difficult to talk about this, more you try to explain , more difficult it gets. I like the way he approaches it by explaining what is not, rather than what is. This way mind converges to what is. Tatvamasi.
@@josephoutward if you're actually willing to learn, give me a way to contact you and you can ask me any question you have Joseph. You have a deep misunderstanding (or no understanding at all) of Vedic "philosophy" so why comment saying it's not true?
चिदानंद रूपो शिवोहम शिवोहम। wonderful. Yes here is a true teacher very well assimilated the real knowledge of Aataman the self. We came to know and understand.let us experience it.
The explanation goes step by step. For some of us listeners, we are like kindergarten children, this explanation is holding our hand and leading. Thank you for your patience.
Grateful, we are...GRATEFUL, words are not enough to show our gratitude and reverence on sharing your wisdom and Tapasya with us... you have infused fresh life in me... how much I thank, remember and bow to THAKUR... Above content should be incorporated in higher school studies as text...🙏
Swamiji Pranam, One blessing of the Pandemic is getting to listen to you in these videos of Advaita. I am an Indian, where, majority of the people follow Hindu philosophy, but I had never heard anyone boldly proclaiming, I AM THAT. Swamiji, I have listened to you and other teachers of Advaita for at least 100 hours so far. You say, by knowing who we really are, our suffering ends because pain is in the body and sadness is in the mind and I the Consciousness am only a witness and no more than that. I wish you would explain this mechanism more elaborately, as this too is our direct knowledge. Please let me know the difference before and after self realization with regard to suffering. Thank you Swamiji, I hope someone will bring this question to your attention.
Self is GOD! And Her children are source of His joy. “He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’”
After listening to Swamiji’s talks when I begin to look at my worries and problems I just start to find these are not problems at all, again after few days I get a self doubt I get back into rigamarole of life and get the worries and problems back. I’m missing निदिध्यासनम् Will try.. keep on trying अहं ब्रम्हास्मी।
pranam swamiji Thanks to your divine guidance I am trying to look for and understand that every sentient being is the same consciousness . I was very upset and angry with someone and expressed in anger. felt very bad and realized that I am misbehaving with the atman present in all of us. called him back and apologized and lovingly explained why I was upset. well I have not reached a stage were nothing will upset me. but I do feel a change. Pronam
Pranams Swamij!!! You remind me of young Swami Vivekananda. I always listen to u and so thankful that they are posted here!! Nice to have a review of the Druk Drusya viveka🙏🙏🙏
This Swami is so good I would like to see him in discussion with Richard Dawkins . After that discussion Dawkins would take to the loin cloth and take residence on Holy Arunachala ? 🕉️
Rise above the material plane, rise above the physical body... focus on the spiritual world. Body consciousness is a major limitation... look within...
thank you Maharaja!!! as sakshi witness i am aware of the body that i am using has a hearing impediment! however i would like to thank the sound engineer for the excellent quality of sound! clear and NO reverberation thank you!! Now after many,many shravana of Vedanta why is a discourse on the Causal Body dismissed? is it the Sub conscious???
Learning a lot about life from your talks , a great desire to meet you and offer a Pranam to you physically . Am in India Gurugram . So that desire will remain unfulfilled . Pranam Guruji
Pranam Swamiji love 💖👏🙏 Thank you for revealing true Atman ( Self luminous )in a beautiful like climbing ladder step by step to attain ultimate goal ( Self always revealed)....... Body to sensory system to mind to Awareness one non dual existence.... It’s very absolutely cleared Great gratitude to Swamiji 🙏💖🌸
Jai Mata di . Jai Divine Guru Ramakrishna . the Sharpness and the ultra clarity and Super awareness which Swami Saravapriyananda brings in his Spiritual talks, are at the level of Swami vivekananda and Jagat Guru Adi Shankaracharya. Om Shakti
Namaste 🙏🏽 , could the admins of this channel pls pass a message to Swami Sarvapriyananda ji if swamiji could consider starting discourses on Yogavashishtha 🙏🏽🙏🏽

It was only in the 19th century that occidental philisophers began to talk of vedanta..Plus swamiji is doing it with his
subtle tender way
Superb...Excellent...Very deep & spiritually elevating Swamiji...Vedanta is the royal road...AUM.
very nicely explained by the highly respected Swami Sarvapriyananda . Its very difficult to talk about this, more you try to explain , more difficult it gets. I like the way he approaches it by explaining what is not, rather than what is. This way mind converges to what is. Tatvamasi.
Pronam Maharaj
My Pranams, Regards and thanks to Swami Sarvapriyananda Maharaj for delivering this lecture. 💐🙏
An illuminating talk by Swami Sarvapriyananda and It was so nice to see Swami Atmapriyananda on the same call .
I wonder who disliked this wonderful video :) :) .. Thank you very much Swami for this video. Pranams for the all the teachings you keep guiding us.
All I can say “we are very lucky to have him among us and listen to him” gratitude.
That is true!
I also consider the same. It is our purva Janna sukrutham
Ok ko

@@josephoutward if you're actually willing to learn, give me a way to contact you and you can ask me any question you have Joseph. You have a deep misunderstanding (or no understanding at all) of Vedic "philosophy" so why comment saying it's not true?
Out of all things in this universe, our minds are pointed to this knowledge. Thakur & Ma’s work are churning beautifully
Exactly.
चिदानंद रूपो शिवोहम शिवोहम। wonderful. Yes here is a true teacher very well assimilated the real knowledge of Aataman the self. We came to know and understand.let us experience it.
We feel privileged and immensely BLESSED.
The explanation goes step by step. For some of us listeners, we are like kindergarten children, this explanation is holding our hand and leading.
Thank you for your patience.
Om shanti shanti shanti
I needed that word about being in bliss and in pain. Thank you.
Pranam Maharaj Ji

हरिःऊँ, प्रणाम, स्वामीजी।
Reminded
ना ये सच ना वो सच सिर्फ तुम ही सच - अष्टावक्र
from the story told by Swamiji in Ashtavakra talk.
Hari OM Swamiji Humble Pranams
As always excellent explanations.Appreciated
Thank you so much.Fantastic
Swamiji Pranam,
One blessing of the Pandemic is getting to listen to you in these videos of Advaita. I am an Indian, where, majority of the people follow Hindu philosophy, but I had never heard anyone boldly proclaiming, I AM THAT.
Swamiji, I have listened to you and other teachers of Advaita for at least
100 hours so far.
You say, by knowing who we really are, our suffering ends because pain is in the body and sadness is in the mind and I the Consciousness am only a witness and no more than that.
I wish you would explain this mechanism more elaborately, as this too is our direct knowledge. Please let me know the difference before and after self realization with regard to suffering.
Thank you Swamiji, I hope someone will bring this question to your attention.
Hello there, not sure if this will help you but Sonny Sharma explains a lot and really well on his channel, Personal Mastery Quest
As usual another brilliant and enlightening talk by Swami Sarvapriyananda.
Haahaaa Modern western appreciation of Yoga is MISS understood YuP
Another lovely talk
Thanks 😊🙏
Self is GOD! And Her children are source of His joy. “He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’”
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you Swami
Superb on nonduality...
Happy thoughts..
Awesome explanation, Swami ji. You are ocean of knowledge. Thanks.
After listening to Swamiji’s talks when I begin to look at my worries and problems I just start to find these are not problems at all, again after few days I get a self doubt I get back into rigamarole of life and get the worries and problems back. I’m missing निदिध्यासनम्
Will try.. keep on trying
अहं ब्रम्हास्मी।
Thank you Swamiji, this explanation gives me a deeper understanding of awareness.
pranam swamiji
Thanks to your divine guidance I am trying to look for and understand that every sentient being is the same consciousness . I was very upset and angry with someone and expressed in anger. felt very bad and realized that I am misbehaving with the atman present in all of us. called him back and apologized and lovingly explained why I was upset. well I have not reached a stage were nothing will upset me. but I do feel a change. Pronam
Pronam Thakur Maa Swamiji
His one of the most favorite topics I guess..😁🙏❤
Pranams Swamij!!! You remind me of young Swami Vivekananda. I always listen to u and so thankful that they are posted here!! Nice to have a review of the Druk Drusya viveka🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much... 🙏🌱 what a powerful and deep Pravachan... Om hari... Om Tat Sat 🙏🌱🎶🕉
This Swami is so good I would like to see him in discussion with Richard Dawkins . After that discussion Dawkins would take to the loin cloth and take residence on Holy Arunachala ? 🕉️
Sam Harris may but I have doubt about Dawkins.
@@sharanagato Sam Harris spent some years of his youth in India doing some kind of meditation
Sam harris teaches non duality without god aspect.
Very true.
Swamiji could wipe the floor with Dawkins, although would probably go easy on him out of compassion for Dawkins's ignorance
Rise above the material plane, rise above the physical body... focus on the spiritual world. Body consciousness is a major limitation... look within...
pranam maharaj,very nicely u explained difficult topic in simple language. thanx a lot.
Pranam Swami ji 🙏🏼
Oh Swami ! You are Great . You are Great our Swami ji
My favorite topic.Thank you Swami ji🙏

অপ্রত্যাশিতভাবে পেয়ে গেলাম এই লেকচার!!
প্রণাম নেবেন মহারাজ 🙏🌹🙏
thank you Maharaja!!! as sakshi witness i am aware of the body that i am using has a hearing impediment! however i would like to thank the sound engineer for the excellent quality of sound! clear and NO reverberation thank you!! Now after many,many shravana of Vedanta why is a discourse on the Causal Body dismissed? is it the Sub conscious???
Learning a lot about life from your talks ,
a great desire to meet you and offer a Pranam to you physically . Am in India Gurugram . So that desire will remain unfulfilled .
Pranam Guruji

I love this! So can self inquiry lead to oneness?
You are already that, nothing to reach.
