Pure Consciousness: Still Point at the CENTER of the Mental Storm

  • When the mind's turmoil becomes overwhelming, it can be impossible to maintain your attention on pure consciousness at the center of your being. But, you can discover those mental storms to be harmless collections of thoughts and emotions, as insubstantial as a soap bubbles.
    Your essential nature is consciousness or awareness by which all mental activities (vrittis) are known is called atma, the true self, the inner divinity that is sat chit ananda, limitless eternal consciousness. That consciousness is reveals the vrittis of your mind (manas) without being affected by them, like the sun is unaffected by what it shines upon. Atma is the sakshi, the independent observer or awareful witness of all your thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.
    Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha...

    After years as a seeker, I finally came across your wisdom, Swamiji. It's like finding water hidden deep in the ground after a dry period. So called Gurus crossed my path one by one. Somehow it seems I have found out of the forest of Samsara. Thanks from Austria, Swamiji!

    Indeed it's a blessing from Swami Dayananda Saraswati himself to have bumped into your channel. 🙏 I
    I had met Swamiji in Arsha Vidya headquarters in Annaikatti way back in 2013. He blessed me immensely and gave me an apple.
    I can resonate with every word that you have uttered on the torment that the mind suffers and struggles with these vrittis . the struggles of my mind has now reduced to a great extent by the grace of Devi.🙏🌺
    I had a wide range of deep spiritual experiences which stirred up a great deal of muck which was unimaginable to process. Slowly, it settled and some clarity dawned.
    Very recently, I had this experience of falling into a black hole after which more clarity emerged in my inner space. Now frequently , during my sleep, I feel I am enveloped in a complete deep dark space and I realise this as I wake up, not when it is actually happening.
    I looked for many scriptural references to understand what was happening within me. I am unsure if I could draw any parallels so far.
    May I request you to give me any scriptural reference to these experiences and throw some light on this.🙏🙏
    I do not have much knowledge of the Vedas and my quest for knowledge has intensified. I had a deep urge to read Nasadiya Suktam, which I was just not able to comprehend. While I did a search on TH-cam for the commentary, your channel was the first to appear.🙏🙏
    It's indeed God's will that I am crossing path with you as a seeker!
    With much gratitude.
    Sree Matre Namah 🌺

    Yes, my true Nature is PURE, Unchanging, eternal Consciousness. However Vrities (thoughts/feelings/sensations) constantly keeping appearing/disappearing in Consciousness it is demanding persistent efforts of forgetting
    *I Am Not Vrities*
    but
    #I Am Consciousness#
    Shifting FOCUS from Vrities to CONSCIOUSNESS.
    Loving you one and all Now and HERE in this Light and Moment.

    This is good 🙏 The lap of Maya/Shakti always coaxes us back to the “center.” We think the storms are negative, but it is all Vidya Maya. All points us towards the calm eye and send us that direction whether we realize it or not. To paraphrase Meister Eckhart: We see demons, but those are really angels trying to free us from the earth. 🙏

    Thank you Swamiji 🙏Namaste! Swamiji, a thought, for example, 'The debt bill is coming soon 'emerges a lot during my meditation .this thought bursts immediately and emerges soon again. Thoughts are not real.But this thought 'The bill is coming' can stir the mind storm fiercely as well as its consequential thoughts so that I am totally lost and have no perspective at all. It affects me a lot. And when I finish my daily meditation, the bill comes in front of me, so real that I can not deny it. Thoughts can be harmless, but the worldly reality is so cruel .
    No any question, just think of this and share.
    Thank you for so vivid teaching again.
