Swami Priyananda, thank you. May you be healthy, happy and wealthy to power and deliver more awesome unique down-to-earth wisdom, guidance and teachings! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! 🙏🙏🙏
Wow! Swami, this was such a great walk through explanation. Could be one of the best I’ve listened to from you. I want to listen to this over and over. My mind realizing I didn’t count myself.......... 🤯 🙂🙃🙂💙 😄 Thank you 🙏 🙏
such a POWERFUL TALK, here Swami-ji so passionate and clearly says what needs to be said to all with ears of ears. Gracias Swami-ji for all that you do to bring us into the light, we love you, i love you, Thank you for all your teachings with us. With ears of ears over and over to listen, so wonderful.
One of the greatest talks on Vedanta! Swamijj lays it all out so simple and elegant! From the introduction to the highest standpoint! Words are incapable of expressing my gratitude! :)
I mean to know I cannot say that I know Brahman, and yet I cannot I do not know. Those amongst us who know this, know him. Not those who say they do not know. Thankful for you Swami, and the technology today that allows me the opportunity to hear your profound interpretation and insight.
Can’t find a suitable appropriate words to thank you Swamiji. . Excellent! Way of explaining You are truly a superb teacher in most difficult subject. You make the listener to long for more lectures.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's very simple: we are all a part of God. Including all nature,universe,material and non material things(everything). Simply put: WE ARE ALL OUR OWN GODS. So simple to understand. And once we all understand this we can globally unite as ONE GOD and make this world heaven. 1+1=2
Not a sliver of doubt I have about the credibility of this gentleman when I listen to him. When was the last time such happened when listening to a spiritual/religious guru on TH-cam?
He's a wonderful blend of traditional wisdom and modern intelligence. Purely modern teachers fall into new age flakiness, and purely traditional teachers don't seem to be thinking for themselves. Swamiji strikes the perfect balance.
I can only think of Jay Lakhani of Hindu Academy but he's not really a swami, however his strong scientific background (quantum physics) make him a unique blend as well
Exactly last year I was looking for subconscious mind, and here he is stating that in Keno upanishad student asked about Consciousness. It implies everyone has such questions. It's really beautiful. 😍❤❤❤
The only thing I can prove is that I exist. unfortunately I am the only person I can prove it to... this is what I like to call The hard choice of self actualization. TY Swami for a your devotion and time, with out it i would be lost, with out a light.
But swamiji, what about sub -conscious mind.We do all work by sub-conscious mind or habit like driving a --car.it-- is said that conscious mind is 5% and rest is sub- conscius mind
@@vijayagarwal3338 That's just learnt behaviour, just like muscle. You can't be sub conscience driving a car or eventually you would crash or if the unexpected happened then you would react. I find with driving you can be in a meditive state but that's it. All sub conscience is is a brief forgetfulness of a habitual routine of what you usually do, then realise you've done it without having a conscience thougt about it.
18:33 "I always was, am and will remain as pure consciousness and liberated.. the entire cycle of birth and death was a phantasm , a nightmare , it was a fiction ...it never was a reality...The reality was ... i was always liberated
Brilliant!!! Such a great teacher Swamiji is.Reduces abstract and highly conceptual things into simplicity.Swami Chinmayananda was one such great teacher.
Loved the approach towards making us learn about the Upanishads. And i am a big fan of Swami Sarvapriyananda. Most of the 2 videos were Swami explaining and the rest was "come on in .. there is a lot of space here" LoL.
After reading a lot and watching a lot of videos on Vedanta, I finally experienced what he was describing while watching this video. Like he said, there is a difference between knowing something intellectually and actually KNOWING it with every part of your being. Something about the way he described it here walked me right into the experience. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much Swami, for the remarkably lucid insights on what is a difficult, abstract subject. I recognized two parallels here. (1) Rene Descartes' "I think therefore I am" (Cogito ergo sum) which I now think, after listening to this lecture, is a point in his life when he arrived at that understanding of his consciousness and (2) in books on Emotional Intelligence where it is suggested that you become "self aware" to the point where you constantly and consciously observe and recognize your own emotions. In this latter case, it can be considered as an activity of the intellect (which isn't your consciousness) but there is still an element of transcending the physical you and merely observing yourself as you go about your business in the physical world.
In your comment you mentioned "emotional intelligence where you become self aware.........." Question, what are the title of the books you're talking about?.
Swamyji under the circumstances don't you feel that when upanishads were written they would have been much more intelligent than the present day intellects way beyond we can even imagine. But the present day intellects even in my family whom I try to convince feel covertly that I am off my rocker or believer of such spirituality.!!
“Like we are watching our own live cctv footage” Whatever happens to us in that cctv footage doesn’t bother the real us who is watching from the safe and comfortable place. Enlightenment.
I really appreciate your talks Swamiji! Re: Evan Thompson - gives a talk at Google and flatly denies anything at all like Brahman. Has the typical buddhist view of only just 'Process all the way down creating whatever consciousness there is on the way.' I call that the same kind of inference based ontology as western science. Direct experience is not more than electrical brain juices. Glad I did not order the book. @27:38 you say that consciousness does not die. There is no way to understand that Thompson is saying this, regardless of any praise he gives the Upanishads. Much love to all there. Wish I could be there in person someday.
Swami Pranamme. Now violent world needs to study Upanishads. It is so simple but kept away from common people. Swami doing great jobs going to IITs. Desire he should go to parliament assemblies interacting members. Now what we fight that is not religion at all, no religion teach that. He has gone UN and Devine thought centring Gandhiji
A finite self is pure consciousness in a worldly mood and experiencing itself by living it. Actually the whole thing is consciousness vs consciousness.
i was always thinking to whom/which is getting freed from cycle of life and birth. your answer really helped to clear out. Also it reinforces that consciousness is the one in which the world time , space appears. Somehow i should make it my 24/7 experience, For that what should be done, replays these(your words) words, .... (you might say i am looking for answer outside), Here mind/intellect freezes and who is aware of it?
Dear God, this teacher is beyond brilliant. Seriously welcome. Thank you Swamiji. 'Life and death as the One Thing known by consciousness but not by the discriminating objectifying mind.' And @1:11:58 = Kurukshetra day by day.
Swamiji Namaskaram Today My aware ear heard your deeper than neno level Kenopnjsd deliberations very subtely through my material ear body. I could say that my soul i.e. inner consciousness have initiated thinking towards Who Am I ?. Again pranam Guruji
Swami, can you please give a talk in Oklahoma City sometime? You’re technically already here, so really I’d just like you to talk your physical body into coming so that the divine can be expressed through you in Oklahoma :)
Recently got introduced to Swamiji's discourses..His way of teaching the eternal upanishadic teachings is absolutely divine. I had a question for Swamiji, and would be grateful for the answer..If consciousness is all prevading and is the ear of the ear and the eye of the eye, how can we explain what happens to brain dead people..With science taking the strides it is, soon, it would be possible to keep a body alive with artificial support for almost forever (theoretically). What about the consciousness, the atman ? Would it still be within the body ?
You cannot keep body alive eternally, nothing is alive eternally because they are subject to change. Only unchanging think is pure consciousness. Brain dead people also has a first person experience, either as a deep sleep or only mind is experienced.
Swamiji you said their is no relationship between me and consciousness but I myself am the consciousness. This idea is great but then why do I feel that I got a secret help from a superpower when I was in a grave danger in my life, a help which was beyond the capacity of anyone or anything. I felt God at that time, and Thakur ramkrishna Paramhansa always was in a dual relationship with Maa Kaali. Did he ever say that I myself am Maa?
Swamiji, Wonderful talk and please consider that panpsychism and Chalmers' panprotopsychism require that matter, or materialism, is the foundation of reality. This is true also of Thomas Nagel's and Galen Strawsen's ultimately dualistic but sophisticated theories. Any consciousness present here in this theoretically fundamental matter is always a reductionist property of matter. Max Tegmark is even on the lookout for the material substance "Perceptronium". (Seriously !) > According to Rational_Wiki - " The basic idea of panpsychism is analogous to pantheism, just replace "god" with "consciousness," so all matter, and by extension, the universe, is conscious. There have been variations on this theme stretching back to ancient times - it is similar to ancient religions based on animism." < This is not the way I understand The Upanishads. In the Upanishads, I understand that consciousness, or more correctly, Brahman, is the fundamental property of reality, certainly not matter. Matter, as perceptions or of objects of awareness or of Brahman, appear exactly and non-dually in Brahman. Well, anyway that is how I understood what you have been teaching. You so beautifully said: " Every conscious experience reminds you of the pure consciousness that you are." So wonderful! To me, this is the imcomparable truth of Advaita Vedanta. And this is not a possibility of panpsychism because every conscious experience would necessary remind you/me of some impermanent matter or organization of properties ( even gluten free :) ) of matter that is required to hold consciousness. Thanks.
Those who see the many and not the one wander on from death to death. Like the wind, which takes new forms in all it enters, so too Brahman takes new forms in all things that live, he is within all, and outside.
What is the purpose of all the projection of life and living by the consciousness if the ultimate idea is to consider everything as an illusion and understand or merge into oneness of pure consciousness?
If I believe that everything happening is on the screen of consciousness and it is an illusion and I am only that consciousness then how will motivate myself to participate in an illusory drama. I feel lack of motivation or lack of urge to do something creative by thinking that I myself am God and I never die and everything is an illusion.

Swamiji, I've no words to express my feelings, it's a wonderful experience after listening your lecture. Pronam.
In explanation of the consciousness of Kenopanishad, Swami Sarvapriyanda is just great.....
It's very simple: we are all a part of God. Including all nature,universe,material and non material things(everything).
Simply put: WE ARE ALL OUR OWN GODS.
So simple to understand.
And once we all understand this we can globally unite as ONE GOD and make this world heaven. 1+1=2
Followed everything in the comment except for the last statement about the equation. If we have understood that All is One, then how can there be 2?
No there is only god. Not all our own gods.
Here is a man who puts his mind to good use.

Like the wind, which takes new forms in all it enters, so too Brahman takes new forms in all things that live, he is within all, and outside.
What is the purpose of all the projection of life and living by the consciousness if the ultimate idea is to consider everything as an illusion and understand or merge into oneness of pure consciousness?
The knowledge given by Paramatma through Veda.
What implells the mind to travel afar?
is pure consciousness can have a will
Neeraj Holkar it has no qualities(gunas) so obviously has no will. it's pure existence
If I believe that everything happening is on the screen of consciousness and it is an illusion and I am only that consciousness then how will motivate myself to participate in an illusory drama.
I feel lack of motivation or lack of urge to do something creative by thinking that I myself am God and I never die and everything is an illusion.
Lack of motivation is at the level of mind.. which means we are not yet able to separate mind and the consciousness
