हरी: ऊॅं तत्सत्| श्रीरामकृष्णार्पणमस्तु 🙏🏻 Namaskar Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj 🙏🏻 Thank you Vedanta society of New York for sharing this retreat 🌹
2024 is almost over, and we’re stepping into 2025. Just like the years, time flows on without breaks-it’s one continuous stream. In the same way, Brahman is whole and indivisible, an unbroken reality of bliss. Thanks, Swami Ji, for such a beautiful explanation! Pronam 🙏🕉️🕉️🕉️
Swamiji, I think it would be helpful to make the distinction between faith and shraddha. Faith or belief requires you to trust some concept as reality without understanding it. Advaita does not require faith, however, it does require shraddha. Brahman is directly available to us, but it seems easier than it is to see reality, hence to say that advaita does not require faith without explaining that it requires shraddha will confuse people and make them think advaita is simply about recognizing empirical evidence. Advaita is deeper than the empirical, it is direct knowledge. Empirical consciousness is the reflected consciousness and is used only as a tool of direct enquiry. The shraddha advaita requires means reverential enquiry which you have spoken about, I just think it is an important point to repeat everytime someone brings up the topic of faith in advaita. Advaita vedanta at its root is a reverential study into the upanishads with the guidance of a guru. Hence belief is not required in the texts. Faith is required in the guru. And this faith comes directly because contact with the guru brings us deep peace and freedom from suffering and anxiety. Might not even be a living saint, just look at the lives of great saints of the past, their lives are a testament to the truth of spirituality and advaita. So with their blessings, undergo the study of the texts with deep respect and patience, argumentation is done for the sake of understanding of the texts, but the basis that the texts are true is established and not up for argumentation.
Tatvmasi Swami Ji, I have one Question. I have read in complete works of swami vivekananda that a butcher can also gain enlightenment if he follows his karma. My question is If i become the source of some work which is related to prostitution or alcohol selling etc. Which are not good for society. I know my reality that i am brahmn, should i accept that work which is not good for society because it doesnot effect my inner self. There are two sides of it. One is i do that work when i have no choice and i know my real being and i can do that work for survival without any guilt. That is acceptable. But if i chose that work out of 4 options because that gives me more money, though that will not effect my inner self either which is pure. Is it justified to do that work, when a butcher work can be justified this should also be justified. In my sense that should not be justified because that is against my moral self. What are your views on that.
Thus I believe silence is Brahman. It could well be that silence reveals light. Every pointer to Brahman applies to silence. By silence I mean pure silence - that without thoughts. Silence that Om purifies so we can immerse in it- when language aids us as we claim we are silence, that we have ‘become silence’
@@dank1485 chapter 4 ….it clearly says no paramukti….these lectures are tailored for preopinionated ideas…. Let them give citation from one…just one from an acharya who could say that he attained enlightenment following sankara philosophy….including citation by sankara himself.
Empirical sciences also start with hypothesis you then proceed to verify. But there is a crucial difference. Brahman is awareness, and no one can deny to be aware. If you weren't aware, there would be no one able to deny. So, to say we are Brahman is tautological. We are, hence we are Brahman.
The hypothesis is based on numerous arguments which aren't discussed in the video. The video assumes you are past the stage of understanding the truth that you are brahman intellectually. The video is for those who want to take the intellectual understanding deeper into the understanding of the heart.
@ deep or deeper is relative term… sankara philosophy is shallow like ideal fluid in fluid mechanics and reject viscosity Sankara just neglected world and individuality of souls Just define two terms ….love and intelligence….tell me are these noun, verb, adjective or … then I can understand your depth
Swami Sarvapriyananda ji is ocean of wisdom and love 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Varaha Upanishad says you can’t attain paramukti by yoga
Take into consideration only those Upanishadas which were commented upon by Adi Shankarâcharya

For the guy who asked about why not duality, dualist will not be able to explain enlightenment or liberation convincingly.
You first made a hypothesis: you are Brahman …rest of the statements are based on the hypothesis not based on experience.
Empirical sciences also start with hypothesis you then proceed to verify. But there is a crucial difference. Brahman is awareness, and no one can deny to be aware. If you weren't aware, there would be no one able to deny. So, to say we are Brahman is tautological. We are, hence we are Brahman.
@ but there are people experienced god and stated that world, soul and god are real and eternal….150 years before sankara.
@ we are making independent decisions on our own and therefore separate from Brahman and real.
The hypothesis is based on numerous arguments which aren't discussed in the video. The video assumes you are past the stage of understanding the truth that you are brahman intellectually. The video is for those who want to take the intellectual understanding deeper into the understanding of the heart.
@ deep or deeper is relative term… sankara philosophy is shallow like ideal fluid in fluid mechanics and reject viscosity
Sankara just neglected world and individuality of souls
Just define two terms ….love and intelligence….tell me are these noun, verb, adjective or … then I can understand your depth
