Why Nothing Really Exists (Including You)

- Today we look at the nature of reality, specifically the relationship between relative reality and ultimate reality, as defined by Nagarjuna in his work, Mūlamadhyamakakārikā. Hopefully this can assist those interested in Non-Dual spiritual teachings (Advaita Vedanta) come to understand their own apparently temporal nature, as well as their true, eternal nature.

Homie giving me an existential crisis at 8:00am
😂
Lol nothing to be anxious about! It's beautiful to understand your nature as eternal 🙏
We came as co creator of our own reality experiencing the contrast and deciding to focus in what we want in allowing the fullness of who we are from nothing to everything and then back to source (para) . if we wish..
No problem.
You need it.
I need it.
We need it.
The question is: do we have the courage to STARE into the very eyes of that existential dread?
We do, and it is our duty to do so.
😂😂😂 Being Human is an existential crisis 😂😂😂
Liberation is the revelation that there is nothing other than what is happening.
There is nothing to find because nothing is lost.
‘I’ had an awakening at the end of January. I’ve been a meditator for years and could never really grasp this topic. After the awakening I see. Finally!
I’m so happy you’ve been posting again! I’ve been following you since my first spiritual awakening when I was 17. I’m 23 now, and looking back you helped me expand my consciousness in a significant way. So thank you 🙏🏻 So happy to see you’ve started a wonderful family as well! Wishing you and your family peace❤
Happy you're still here 🙏🙏🙏
This is honestly the BEST explanation of this I’ve ever heard. I’m also a visual learner, so this really helped the lesson sink in. So happy you’re posting videos still! Been a subscriber since 2018. I know YT for a while was taking down your videos, which can be discouraging. You really helped be a teacher on my spiritual journey and I thank you for your knowledge and guidance. ❤️
Thank you so much for explaining this. I'm blown away by the way you clarified this for me and others. I love it! Much peace
I am so glad I came across your channel! This video just opened my eyes up to a lot . Im sending much love, light, and positivity to anyone reading this 🙌🏾🤍
Amazing video as always, quite spiritual. Brahman, pure consciousness alone is absolute reality as it is unchanging, the underlying essence of all and not a name-form subject to manifestation and dissolution. But just because the world is not absolutely real doesn't mean we can't enjoy it just as we can enjoy a beautiful sunrise even though the Sun never really rises or sets.
Absolutely! The relative is still real so long as we partake in it 🙏
Just don't think that owning nice thing = happiness
the sunrise metaphor is beautiful and very fitting :)
Thankyou my friend.
I'm 62 and my life has always been a turmoil. Over the past two years and I've had a couple of "spiritual" experiences, one was most profound.
I've been learning to meditate, watching as much Sadhguru as I can, when it suddenly happened. I was approached by a being of light, it became a sphere and for one brief fleeting moment it opened and I saw everything. For a fraction of a second I was everywhere at once at every point in time. I saw It, I saw the very fabric of existence.
Sadly I'm in the UK, so the opportunity of meeting with you is virtually nonexistent. I'm also disabled and can't travel with my pain medication. I was hoping to visit the Isha Centre but my meds would never pass through customs.
I'd like to say that I greatly appreciate every word you post, it helps to find some clarity.
I look forward to your next video. 🙏🙏
Be Well
Great.explanation of what ultimate reality is.I think Buddha realized this and thus became enlightened .When he said I am awake, he was awake to the illusion of seeing everything as separated from our ego perspective to seeing everything as just a big ocean of energy with no boundaries separating everything , no beginnings or endings but just an ocean of energy as in all material things are just made.up of molecules .
Your OG videos are so nastalgic, especially in this day .I remember listening to your astral projection stories and in such a better head space then ,and i was in a less stressful space(good times) .I love your videos tho ❤️
Just about the only thing that can make my hyper-vigilance go away…thank you 🙏
Loved it 😂 loved it nothing better! Can't wait for another one like this!
Beautiful explanation. Thank you 💕🥰🎉✨✨✨
Thank you so much for telling us how it really is especially for me. I was very very confused and now the way you explain it I got it I knew it was something like that but you explain it the proper way. Thank you again for everything.
I’ve been following you for years ,many thanks
Thankyou vishuddha, for sharing your wisdom.
I love watching your vedio.
Much love ❤
Namaste 🙏
Wow, now that is an eye catching tittle. Very very interesting video, friendo.
❤you are explaining IT beautifully🙏
There has been this constant and evolving idea or whatever it can be for 2 years now
And i ve been constantly fighting with the idea that nothing is
Nothing can be explained
Truly trying to put into words image or anything anyone could ever imagine what i am not thinking or thinking would be foolish
Or rather not because foolish is a concept and concept isn't
And this idea isn't
I ve been detaching from reality
And yet nothing is different
Because nothing is
Different isn't
Isn't isn't
Its maddening to think or rather not think
Ik this isn't what this video is about exactly but i stumbled upon it and it reminded me
Looking at things as non-existent belittles the here and now. To say some day in the future the rock will become sand and earth again or my body will become earth again is a factual statement about some time in the future. Now is a reference point that is meaningful because you are in it. The understanding that we die changes over time but by being here now WE ARE... I AM
Beautiful Pointing. Thank you. #Thereisnospoon #Emptyfullness 😊
Brahma satya jagat mithya 🕉️🙏
so good to see and hear you!! #ramram
I appreciate this.ty.💙💗
Definitely needed this
Happy it helps!
@@VishuddhaDas you know a few years ago when I started my awakening and my journey, I would have questions I would ask the universe and immediately after I asked you uploaded a video talking about what I asked. I also had a dream you taught me how to lucid dream and astral project
EVERYTHING EXIST❤
Can you make a video on how to be more disciplined
Dear bro l was astonished by your knowledge about the impermanence nature and suffering .But without seeing arising and vanishing of the present signals you are still an outsider to lord buddhas great teaching .Whenever you get a signal through five sense organs you can see a light appears in the middle of the forehead and vanishishes instantly allowing the sense organ to grasp a new signal This is called Udayawaya wishdom .More than 200 satipattana suttras including Maha satipattana suttra lead us to see this true transient nature .All satipattana suttras says thus " samudaya dhammanu passee va viharathi vaya dhammanu passee va viharathi " means Dwell seeing arising and vanishing of the present dhammas .Sadu sadu !!!
superb answer thanks
Most welcome
The concepts of "relative" and "ultimate" reality should not come as a surprise. Relative reality is the contents of your ordinary conscious experience - thoughts, perceptions, feelings, etc. All that disappears when you sleep, and all the information in your brain gets "processed" to form new connections - ideas and memories. Your "relative reality" is reinvented every day. Just consider what it was like when you were 6 years old! If that is "relative" reality, then we automatically think there must be another "real", more encompassing reality, because our brains think in terms of comparison, or duality. So is there really an "absolute" reality", or is that just another idea we make up?
much appreciated
Perfect 👏👏
Thank you
Welcome!
Hello
I have been following you since 2015 and you played a major part in my spiritual journey. However one of the differences between the both of us is that I always have doubt in the back of my mind. And when I see you I see someone who is so sure about what they are saying. As if you were speaking the truth.
I know i am very primitive on a spiritual level and I cannot say that everyone should be skeptical like me about everything however I wanted to ask you this. What if you were “illuminated” or talked to god or became god or I don’t know how to describe the different spiritual experiences people have : how can you not have doubt in what you are seeing or thinking. How can you be so sure of what you are feeling or believe is the truth and not think about the possibility of your mind playing tricks on you or rather not seeing the whole truth ?
Is it too simplistic to believe that paramārtha-satya is the enormous collection of elementary particles and the dark energy that's increasing the entropy of those particles that comprise the universe (and possible multiverse)? That's the primary focus of my mindfulness meditation practice. Have I been wrong all this time?
I'm surprised to see that u explained the same thing in 10 mins that took me hours. I'm curious to know your guru
It would be great if you visit Myanmar, a place where there is Theravada Buddhism and meet a great Guru, Rector Sayardaw Dr. Nandamarlar bhivasa.

Where’d you film this? Looks like a nice, green spring day in February
Only the spirit is real. Material is an illusion.
Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithya 🙏
But when you turn on the news its all about the material. The school books teach materialism. The government rewards materialism. Science says you are a monkey on a space rock
Material is not illusion. Both Spirit and Matter are sacred. Matter is ever changing form, that does not make it less sacred than Spirit. Both should be revered.
Could you make a video about solipsism? I remember that video of years ago. It interested me so much that I'd love a follow up. I feel like it is connected to this philosophy you are telling here.
its the same thing really, I found it a bit suffocating the first time I found out.
There's a field of awareness in which sights,sounds, feelings, sensations and a persistent one body, all which appear in.
Are there 8 billions of these?? (Have not included animals, insects etc)
Oceans gonna Ocean. 🕉️
Isn’t everything real in the present moment because, if you’re thinking that some form will change, that is in the future and the future dosnt exist.
I would say even if the future does exist the here and now gives us the possibilities to create magic.
Jay Shree Ram ❤❤
Wow
Believing you live on a globe and everything is physical then you must believe everything is "real"
The problem with that is that you will be led towards materialism. You will become confused and unable to understand who or what anything is beyond what we can physically see with our senses.
But what if all of it is just an illusion? How could you tell the difference? Ever seen the movie "the matrix"?
how do you do self-inquiry in your everyday life to see behind the curtain?
I can’t even say that I like that, cause there is no I and nothing to be liked. Or there’s only one thing therefore can’t be judged cause there is nothing to be compared to.
Nothing and everything exist simultaneously..
If the universe is infinite.. with enough time anything could happen..
Thus essentially proving the many worlds theory..
Now I personally take a more finite perspective in my world-crafting..
But ultimately this is truth..
If you can tap into that 10D mind frame they speak of.. you can begin to realign the energy to the correct pattern of your desires..
Dimensionally shifting to the reality you want to be in..
So dont be discouraged by some drowsy beat..
The universe is simultaneously meaningless and More Meaningful than you could ever imagine..
Its up to us to decide which perspective to take, logically, rationally, and in regards to what benefits our lives and well being.
Namaste
We are just a bunch of atoms, we existing and yet not existing. We are humans in our human perception but we are nothing more than atoms. We are changing energy that are changing every nanosecond…
Can I please get a 2023 guide to astral projection plz/thank you!!!
Nagarjuna would disagree, he would say even Brahma is empty/relative
okay a rock isn't eternally a rock because it breaks down, but isn't it right to say it is a rock "currently"? So wouldn't it be real in a certain time-frame? but I guess that's what you mean by relative reality.
Yes that is exactly what the relative reality is 🙏
👏
hari om tat sat
🙏🙏🙏
🙏
🙏
I kind of get what he's eluding too, i mean, i've stopped believing that Santa Krishna doesn't really exist.
@Vishudda Das hey i have a question for you,,,you are saying that you are practicing no dualism,do you think that hinduism is really it???where their god needs help from others,,,,hindus also worship like almost everything they can see with eyes,,isn't it too much to say that this religion really encourages non dualism,,,really????
Koi, I have an article like this pending to be published..
I know the glowbe picture we’ve been given for our minds to live on isn’t real for sure.
Every being on earth is bound to perish.
but there will remain the Face of your Lord, full of Majesty and Honor.
Quran 55:26-27
So close to the Truth. God is One, Eternal and the Reality. This Oneness is God.
Do you like dr Bernardo Kastrup?
❤💛💚
🙏🙏🙏
5-MeO-DMT has shown me this is true.
You kind of look like Jesus, and make a very good preacher.
What's your opinion on islam ?
Tolle
This video a little too deep for me lol
If nothing really exists then our potential is Limitless
You are still bound the the limits of this reality. Your mind can think whatever it wants but your meat suit will not accept. Working with the world is better for your soul than creating illusions in your mind
@@peetafield8337 The explanation in this video is that ultimate reality is beyond words and thought. That's what he points too. Relative reality is identification with thought. We live in a conceptual world or existence, and we play the game of life this way, to get through life. As we were born, being a blank slate, i e. knowing nothing, so we shall die as no.thing. Our coping mechanism in life, i.e. the mind will be gone. We won't be able to speak, think and know things anymore, that we all learned from birth. Relative reality is a coping mechanism in life, but the bigger picture, i.e. ultimate reality is what we are. Ultimate reality can only be pointed too, but not explained with words. It can however be felt or sensed. Like he used as an example with waves and the ocean. Waves (relative reality) are still the ocean (ultimate reality). There is a quote by "Tich Nhat Hahn" which says it beautifully. " Enlightenment is when the wave realises it is the ocean". ❤
My kushaitva sativa is real af-va ...
are there philosophical zombies?
This is silly, if someone didn’t think they existed then there is no need to look after the body, the feeling you feel when you are hungry? Then ignore it, the feeling you feel when you are thirsty, then ignore it. If there is no “I” then treat your Mother and Father as the same as everybody else. All we have is life itself and love, to say that none of that exists is just very strange. When a person dies they are no more, we miss them beyond words, I think we exist. Unless you are In some matrix and suddenly after death we realise we were in some simulation…. Unlikely! Sorry, I do not mean to sound rude either 🙏
The point is there's nobody doing any of this. Theres nobody feeling hungry or thirsty. They are just bodily functions that the "I" (the ego) attaches to. There was never anybody here in the first place. Look for your the "I" (ego) in direct experience and see.
@@bluebird6966 yeah I get all that but there’s nothing that goes on after consciousness then that shows we are just the bodies.
@@benji-5796 Bodies are just appearances. All there is is consciousness in which bodies appear. YOU are consciousness.. Everything that is.. Just as a wave is the entire Ocean.
@@bluebird6966 so it’s the consciousness that goes on with is what we experience during deep sleep just without the dreams?
@@benji-5796 So Consciousness is just a label for What IS. Some use Awareness .. Brahman.. God.. But they all point to the same thing. That which is.. which is what you are.. Everything. So the same thing that's reading this is the same thing that's writing it. It's all one.. but to the mind it appears as separation.
Thank you
