Last I heard such high quality discourse on Indian spirituality and philosophy in 1967, I was fourteen then. Swami ji enjoyed every word you spoke including the peppered humour and english.
“A pure mind automatically runs towards God. The impure mind needs pushing and cajoling”. This is a good yardstick to evaluate the quality of our mind, at every step of our Spiritual pursuit.

Swami Vivekananda used to say:- "The pure heart is the best mirror for the reflection of truth, so all these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute; all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure. "Knowledge of the Absolute depends upon no book, nor upon anything; it is absolute in itself. No amount of study will give this knowledge; is not theory, it is realization. Cleanse the dust from the mirror, purify your own mind, and in a flash you know that you are Brahman. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." This sentence alone would save mankind if all books and prophets were lost. This purity of heart will bring the vision of God. It is the theme of the whole music of this universe. In purity is no bondage. Remove the veils of ignorance by purity, then we manifest ourselves as we really are and know that we were never in bondage. The seeing of many is the great sin of all the world. See all as Self and love all; let all idea of separateness go. . .
@ Durga Prasad Panda ... Beautiful insights 🙏🏼 Wisdom is available within everyone, however, it is hidden by impurities we have picked up from bad habits in the past. Purification of the mind can be accomplished by implementing knowledge in daily practice. Knowledge without practice is useless and practice without knowledge is foolish. The world is the playground for us to practice these vital lessons to correct our mistakes. Serving others is also a wonderful way to transform the heart and purify the mind to open the eye of wisdom. We can try to serve with the head of Shankarachariya, the hands of King Janaka and the heart of Buddha and so many more ideal role models to follow. Knowledge is available at our fingertips today and when it is actually utilized in practical life, one gets to enjoy direct experiences leading to wisdom.
Knowledge and intuition are not things that can be compared or substituted. What you mean to compare are listening, vs, logical analysis vs intuition vs contemplation/mediation. All these only are means of acquiring knowledge which in clearer words is the 'knowing' itself.
Please throw light on the following thought: Regarding 5 sheath layer. All these sheaths are intermingled in each other. E.g. When Sadhak tries to explore 'Manomay kosh'; there always remains the possibility that Sadhak feels memory of 'Annamay Kosh'. This possibility can apply to other sheaths as well. More the memory of other sheath/s more the chances are distractions or slipping out of the sheath. Is it a reality?
Pranams Maharaj. Thanks to Qs from Abhijit, your answers as always are very helpful. I do feel that I am not living what I understood continually. As suggested by you I need to strengthen my three pillars :-) Thank you sir
I follow Sw. Sarvapriyananda's talks, however it does follow any chronology, because most unfortunately the manner in which it appears on TH-cam, title wise, is haphazard. I would appreciate if some order and sequence could be added so that I (and others) could go the begining of a sequence of talks and benefit listening to the entire session. Regardless this small problem, I must add each episode has so much of information to be complete in itself. Thank you all who labour behind the scene to make these presentations possible.
The crux of the answer to the 4th question is to practice " Sadhan Chatustay" i.e 1.Nitya Nitta bastu vivek.2.Sham Dam sadhan 3.Eiha Mutrartha Phala Bhoga Bairagya 4.Mumukshatta. Without practising these,one is not eligible to study Vedanta otherwise it will only be an Intellectual learning & not realisation of Oneness of the Self with Brahman .
Disturbance is the culprit. Get rid of disturbance, everything good shall follow by the grace of Thakur. Swami Sarvapriyananda is very very correct. Glory to Swamiji. Thanks for the explanation. Very very helpful. Perfect service.
In the waking state we see many persons and that persons are also the projection of our mind and there is one person only like in the dream is also right Here the one person is universal Self whic his the real identity of each Soul, jiva, Ego! So each soul, jiva can say there is only one person and the world and persons Seen is his mental projection also. This world including its living beings" is said to be a dream of God! His dream is our waking state! So when we are standing in our real Identification,,Chitswarapa, everybody can say that everything seen including persons are the projection of mind and that will be true also! Namaskar Swamisarvapriyanadaji Maharaj, Pranams!
Actualisation of an Objective Versus Realization of The Meaning Why one asks the Question :- Who Am I? When the apparent activities and reasons of Life fail to address the core issue and when they fail to fetch the desired degree of Peace /Bliss, this aspect clubbed with an experiential state of Futility and Im-permanency of such bouts of happiness in any act /thought, one is directed towards the Quest for the Meaning of The Life... Though the Quest is for finding the Meaning of Life, it mostly is redirected / reduced if I may so say, ( even without one's knowledge) towards finding a space wherein one gets Unalloyed Bliss that is to say The Objective of one's pursuits. Thereafter it is a Rooted State wherein one remains in that State.... The ESSENTIAL QUESTION :- WHO AM I is addressed in RELATIVE terms.. from a transient state to a Relatively Permanent state one advances in the quest. But where is the EXPERIENTIAL - CONSCIOUSNESS in the Absence of body-mind-intellect complex? When is one aware of the deep sleep and dream state? In wakefulness When is the question Who am I asked and further answered? In Wakefulness Can the aspect of Awareness examined in any other state other than wakefulness? NO Where/ when does the Experience of Awareness cease to exist? When one is either in Dream or in Deep sleep. Who is this EXPERIENCER? The I Can there be any I in Exclusivity... separate from the Gross? Isn't the I all INCLUSIVE??? Can the sense of I be there in a Rock? mostly cannot as the very Rock is again an inclusivity of The I.... without the I there cannot be anything.... Anything everything is an expansion or extension of the I ......If I is not there nothing remains and in I remains everything the sentient insentient everything.....
Seventh Healing : This session was not the ‘Askswami session ‘ of the spiritual retreat where the Q& A of worldwide audience happens . That will happen end-of-month on June 24th . This was just an added bonus session based on Mandukya series that Maharaj uploaded out here out of his kind graciousness . Thanks.🙏

Naman Swami ji. Very realvant question asked by Abhijit. You explained all four paths amazingly as always. 🙏🙏🙏🌹😌
Another smart person.

Very important queries were made. Thanks.
If not the whole,
Just listen from 14:00 to 27:12
Its enlightening!!
Thank you Swamiji.
Knowledge takes us to the doorway of Realization, Intuition takes us across the threshold.
Brad Stephan Love you statement
Brad Stephan knowledge is jnana,intuition is vijnana.
Knowledge and intuition are not things that can be compared or substituted. What you mean to compare are listening, vs, logical analysis vs intuition vs contemplation/mediation. All these only are means of acquiring knowledge which in clearer words is the 'knowing' itself.
GameOne knowledge is jnana is theoretical,intuition is vijnana is experiential.
Intuition comes after awakening, Knowledge alone maynot leads to realization,.
Please throw light on the following thought:
Regarding 5 sheath layer.
All these sheaths are intermingled in each other. E.g. When Sadhak tries to explore 'Manomay kosh'; there always remains the possibility that Sadhak feels memory of 'Annamay Kosh'.

Actualisation of an Objective Versus Realization of The Meaning
Why one asks the Question :- Who Am I?
When the apparent activities and reasons of Life fail to address the core issue and when they fail to fetch the desired degree of Peace /Bliss, this aspect clubbed with an experiential state of Futility and Im-permanency of such bouts of happiness in any act /thought, one is directed towards the Quest for the Meaning of The Life...
Though the Quest is for finding the Meaning of Life, it mostly is redirected / reduced if I may so say, ( even without one's knowledge) towards finding a space wherein one gets Unalloyed Bliss that is to say The Objective of one's pursuits. Thereafter it is a Rooted State wherein one remains in that State....
The ESSENTIAL QUESTION :- WHO AM I is addressed in RELATIVE terms.. from a transient state to a Relatively Permanent state one advances in the quest. But where is the EXPERIENTIAL - CONSCIOUSNESS in the Absence of body-mind-intellect complex?
When is one aware of the deep sleep and dream state?
In wakefulness
When is the question Who am I asked and further answered?
In Wakefulness
Can the aspect of Awareness examined in any other state other than wakefulness?
NO
Where/ when does the Experience of Awareness cease to exist?
When one is either in Dream or in Deep sleep.
Who is this EXPERIENCER?
The I
Can there be any I in Exclusivity... separate from the Gross? Isn't the I all INCLUSIVE???
Can the sense of I be there in a Rock?
mostly cannot as the very Rock is again an inclusivity of The I.... without the I there cannot be anything.... Anything everything is an expansion or extension of the I ......If I is not there nothing remains and in I remains everything the sentient insentient everything.....
Since consciousness is not changed by individual experience, does it have a purpose?
Love
Pronam
Cultivate shakshi bhav gredually. Not bhokta bhav or karta bhav for nirmal (pure) mind.
I just want some of that food.
Are questions from the internet not being answered anymore? :(
