Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Therefore whenever and wherever knowledge appears, there is no longer lack of knowledge. So it is crystal clear that knowledge removes ignorance by it's very and unique nature. This property of removing the lack of it's inverse (ignorance) is unique to knowledge. And this is why knowledge alone will remove ignorance.
The secondary means will only help knowlegde to remove ignorance, which ultimately has to be dealt with by knowledge alone.
I totally relate to these first metaphors. I feel my devotion and love brought me here, but since I have been given the opportunity to understand my true nature, I have at last found a little bit of peace. Awareness of my nature is being an essential tool to stop the hurricane of anxiety in my thoughts! Thank you Swamiji! Love from Brazil!
Eu genuinamente nunca vi alguém falar de forma tão perfeita, profunda, serena e compreensiva como ele, é realmente impressionante; todo dia tenho assistido e estudado mais e percebo como o Vedanta vibra em concordância com a minha pessoa. Um abraço, que seu caminho seja feito de luz e amor.
Possibly the best and most peaceful guru whom I can relate to.
Namaskaaramulu swamiji.
Pranam Gurudev🙏🙏🙏🙏

Knowledge removing Ignorance. Bhakti/Raj/Karma YOGA facilitate in the process of knowing ATMA, CONSCIOUSNESS...
Example of temple on the mountain top is absolutely convincing.
One can climb the mountain by any path but having reached the top DOOR to enter GARBH is ONE.
Loving you one and all my fellow learning colleagues NOW and HERE.
Thank you very for these excellent teachings. They are very useful at removing our veil of ignorance of our true nature. You are an outstanding teacher!
Congratulations Swamiji You are an excellent expositor of this Rare and millennial Knowledge.
I was raised under Buddhism, Confuscism, and Daoism by my cultural studies Professor grandmother..
Your channel Swami is illuminating in every gap I ever encountered in spiritual development and I am so grateful to have found your channel.
Hey dude do you know any authentic youtube channel which teaches buddhism and confuscism ?
@@Vizorfam sadly I do not have the information you seek. I am looking for authentic channels myself. Best of luck in your journey
@Vizorfam Wat San Fran has incredible Buddhist animation videos on TH-cam. I highly recommend that channel for Buddhist insight and wisdom!
I like this series of aatma bodha . Please continue it guruji 🙏 Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
I'm from Hindu family but I never followed any religion regardless of my family background. But I do respect these scriptures. Now a days people are more focused on puja path (prayer and rituals) rather than these knowledge.
Pranams Swamiji
I want to thank you…. What you are doing helps so much. 🌱🦋
It seems to me that I am getting a very authentic interpretation of this text, based on the intention of its author from ancient times. Thank you!
Gratitude. Hearing the explanation of this text I feel the light taking the place of the darkness in my mind.
Swamiji thank you for this elaborate presentation, I am too excited to go with one lecture per week, I hope it is ok. I must add I feel blessed that it is a video - because now I can listen, pause the video, rewind when I feel the need, take detailed notes and proceed. Thank you so much for uploading this - this is the best channel on TH-cam. I also thank corona virus for making this happen. Om namah Shivaya.
Hi..I am surprised you are allowed to practice this in an " islamic" country...iam impressed 🙏
@@aishwaryasitaram2227 He or she is not allowed because there is no prohibition. Turkey is a secular country.
Perfect
Pranaam , Guruji.
You said you're sorry at the beginning. I'm thrilled to have found you. I hope your sorrow is lifted away by my joy at your teaching, and my continued self discovery.
What a joy to watch. Your purity and authenticity comes across effortlessly. It’s clear that you love the material you’re sharing, which makes it so fun to learn. thank you so much! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Very deep and profound. I listen to this, then I listen to “Closer to truth”. The questions raised there, all seem to be answered here. And yet, they only gave advait a passing notice, and that through a physicist (albeit of Indian origin).
Thank you so much for such wonderful explanation swami
Amazing explanation, exceptional teaching. Thank you!
Thank you Swami Ji. ISHWARA BLESS YOU ALWAYS... I really Love your teachings... 💗🕉 Very Thanks to my God for give me the chance of receive your words and sacred analisis... Om Hari Swami Ji 🙏🌱 Om Tat Sat
certain suffering brought me to ur channel.. one video on righteous anger vs forgiveness, then to some bhagavad gita lecturers, then to this series. My meditation and prayer somehow brought me here. So i do think the “paths” are ways to find the “direct” answer to removal of ignorance. beautiful..
Dear Swamiji, I am from Rajasthan and i love your example of ladies "Ghungat" from Rajasthan :) its so true and funny example......very proud on the culture of Rajasthan.
I love this video, I often forget it's coming and then swamiji mentions the women in Rajistan and he cracks up which is just priceless! Just good fun.
7 minutes in and I'm 🤯. the validation is comforting. thank you for sharing.
Soothing to listen swamiji
Koti koti dandwat pranaam prabhu ji 🙏🙇♂️🙇♂️🙏
Om

Such a great clarity Swamiji. Thank you.

Many many thanks Master
Namo namaha Swamiji.
Thank you Swamiji.
Thank you Swamiji, especially the metaphor about the toolbox. This has changed my perception, because so often with different practices iv'e found that with them come an attitude of 'our way is the only way'.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Pranams Swami Ji we are blessed to hear your Divine Discourses on Atma Bodha. You have explained the subtle meaning of the Divine Scripture very well. Your communication is crystal clear and your voice is great. My Humble Pranams
Namaskar Swamiji. Can't thank enough for all your teachings!
TY Swami
Lots of love and gratitude swamiji.......... Your videos are really helping us. Keep making it. INDIA
Dear Swamiji, you are the funniest guru!
Thank you so much for the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta, transmitted with love,
from the heart and with a deep understanding of this philosophical metaphysical wisdom!!!
By tradition, I will allow myself to cite a few sayings of the teacher of the millennium,
the beacon of jnana, my guru Sri Ramana Maharshi about Self-knowledge:
769. Self-abidance [atma-nishtha], which shines without defect,
alone will destroy all bondage, which is non-Self.
[On the other hand] discrimination [viveka] which distinguishes the real,
one’s own nature, from the unreal, is only an aid to pure desirelessness.
770. If you enquire [you will find that] you are not that [the body] which you now take yourself to be.
[Therefore] enquire what you are, drown in the heart
and be directly established as ‘You are That [Self]’.
771. Knowing well that there is no permanent foothold
anywhere for the soul
except in remaining merely as the one reality, destroy desires towards everything,
but without aversion [towards anything], and abide in
the Heart
as one with the supreme existence-consciousness [Sat-Chit].
(Guru Vachaka Kovai - Garland of oral instructions of Sri Ramana Maharshi)
OM TAT SAT
Which Book ? Can u pls suggest me I would love to read.. thank you
Love your teachings. Thank you so much. Greetings from Portugal.
Thank you...Thank you...Thank you Swamiji pad Namaskar
Swamiji, I love your metaphors and so simple to understand and deep, at the same time helps us to embrace joys in the laughter just like ‘tube light’ or half covered face with pallu 😊🙏🏼. Thank you for your lovely interpretations and deep spiritual teachings !
Dear Swamiji, tks a lot for sharing this knowlege with us all. Greetings from Brazil =)
Thankyou for clearly explaining this supremely precise wisdom.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you.
such amazing lectures. intriguing how to chant every part or word, every tone has a purpose so it seems. much gratitude! om shanti
I Exist. Because I Exist, I AM Conscious. Because I AM Conscious, I Am aware I Exist. Why I AM aware? Because I Exist. Why I Exist? This question does not arise because I Exist without any beginning and end. Hence Existence and Consciousness are not tow but ONE. Not knowing all these at the experiential level is 'ignorance', incomplete knowledge [and not absence of knowledge]. Ignorance is the veil through which we know our Existence and Consciousness incompletely. Half-knowledege is misleading. Swamiji's explanation of these are really like a lightening breaking the darkness of dark clouds. I Am very thankful to Swamiji. My humble pranaams.
Absolute (shiva) and the relative world (shakthi) cannot exist without each other. Oneness does not mean the relative world is an illusion. There is dharma vs adharma within the relative world. So, action is more important than inaction (Baghavad Gita). So, we should not escape from our dharmic responsibilities by saying everything is "one" and we don't have to deal with adharma. If we are mere spectators of adharma despite knowing that it is adharma, we create karma and reincarnation.
Clarity in teaching
Thank you kindly for the teachings....from South Africa...bless you Swamiji.
OM shanti shanti shanti 🙏🏻🌹
OM shanti Shanti Shanti 🙏🏻🌹
🕉🕉🕉🙏
This is great! I don't really have any prior knowledge of some things you mention but your explanations make it unnecessary. Thank you so much and I look forward to next week. In the meanwhile I will watch some of the other videos.
Yes it is worth to watch
A guru for all ...simple and interesting for all age group.
Thanks Sir
yes.. its true that knowledge is more important than bhakti to understand atman .... but for knowledge we need Budhi (brain power) . Common people don't have that... thats why bhakti more popular way to understand atman than knowledge.. The longest way is Bhakti, and the shortest is Gyan Yoga, i think.
Shree Gurubyo Namah:
Thank you Swamiji for such nice information 🙏
Wow ! Wisdom of the wisest.
Great learning by swamiji!
Thank you Swamiji. We Indians never getting this kind of teaching from our land.
Really? Look deeper and you will... this Swamiji is great but there are good teachers in India, even Jesus came to learn from them! We have current gurus too.
@@RitzySpiritual Jesus did not exist
It feels good to here you sir.
Obrigado ❤🙏🇧🇷
Gratitude for invaluable teachings 🙏🙏

Thanks for explanation with humour this gambhir subject
🙏
❤
It's my own knowledge
thank you... 💖💖💖🙏
Dear Swamiji - me and my family thoroughly love all your presentations. We really appreciate the passion with which you try to articulate and simplify things for naive seekers like us. Thank you!
Now, I am intrigued to listen to the upcoming presentations on "Atma Bodha" topic - to understand how Atma is not "the Atma", and what it actually is.
Thinking further on the topic for today "light alone removes darkness", i think different religions/faiths in the world today, are nothing but different forms of light (oil lamp, torch, tubelight, candle, bulb etc) - each trying to remove ignorance from people's minds. Do you think this would be a correct metaphor?
Thank you once again for the wonderful experience! Hari Om!
Hi :) your comment made me think of a documentary on youtube called Samadhi. I highly recommend it. I’m not Swamiji but I think your metaphor is correct. In the film they touch on this exact topic, that all religion is connected because it is ultimately the same teachings in different forms. Imagine 8 people blindfolded touching different spots of an elephant. They all think they are touching something different. One is touching a tusk, another the skin, another the tail but in reality is is all the same elephant.
This study of Self Knowledge needs viveka and vairagya. With the proper foundation you will be able to embrace truth and reject falsehood. Religion with it's karmas brings you to your own inner deity. Crossing the threshold into the garbh grha ,one attains Bodha.

abrahmic relegion doesn't throw any light they are the darkness on which non abrahmic relegion like hinduism,budhism taoism spread difrrent light .
Mumukshu from Ethiopia
Thank you very much !
So then we Are the universe , literally .
Sir.., basically all these 4 yogas to attend moksha do one common thing... that is minimise our ego. when ever we minimise our ego and ultimately destroys it.. then we find the moksha.
🕉️🎆🙏💖
Gratitude 🙏 😋
Thank you...
Im loving your videos, only a few in hehehe - Thankyou! :)
If you are not ready..., you should Not Wait!!! Repeate after him!
🙏🙏🙏
Dear Swami.
So if the main means to overcome ignorance is knowledge.
How did the first Rishis come to knowledge?
I thought they had come through meditation.
Saludos desde España.
Following the metaphor of cooking rice, not only fire is a primary source, but also air (Vāyu), since you cannot make fire without air. What would air symbolically represent in terms of means of knowledge?
