The yogic path of silencing the mind is what worked for me. Only silencing the mind is not something you can do. It slows down on its own, like a spinning top eventually comes to rest.
Since I hve been listening Ur discourses 2018 I hve no no anymore questions or doubts or problems.This is the magic of ur divine N crucial lectures on the divine knowledge.
I needed this talk Swamiji 🙏🏻❤️🔥 when I was a young boy, i experienced the death of a brother. One day while I was crying, I was suddenly torn down the middle by what I'm guessing now was the Kundalini within starting to move. Then I was overcome by "the holy spirit" (raised Christian) which was this feeling of pure bliss and I knew that to be my real Self. I wouldn't say my mind stopped - but my perspective shifted completely. I understood that I was actually the observer of this imagined person who happened to be suffering. I literally saw myself in the room, and the room itself, and I was all of it. I used to be able to slip in and out of this state at will. Was this technically sabija samadhi?
People will go through their own journeys of silencing the mind. Stages could be many with every stage presentating a different challenge 1. Starts with 'I am thinking' 2. Then you realize 'Thinking is happening to me' 3. You pierce through more and then you realize that ' I was put together by thought through many many years' 4. When mind realizes that there is no I just thought , it doesn't want to think anymore
I have no idea why, but this teaching is so beautiful that it has brought tears to my eyes. I guess when the heart hears Truth it knows without question and my tears are an expression of That! Such beauty! 🥲 💮
@@ChubbywubbysandwichI think that when we allow the heart to open, we touch something much deeper and truer than anything our thoughts or rational mind can understand. We then express this pure joy and the tears flow. To open to Truth is beautiful, isn't it?
There are more teachings of this nature by om namah Sri bhagavate ramana maharshi and om namo Sri bhagavate nisagadatta maharaj and Sri swami annamalai and Sri mooji baba all on you tube mooji has alot of meditations on RUclips also om namo Sri bhagavate pounjaji papaji also many satsangs you may find helpful Hooe this helps you, namaste 🙏 let there be peace let there be love for all beings universal om 🕉 shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏
By far the most knowledgeable guru!! What is good about him, he listens patiently to the question regardless of how long they are as in this case & responds specific to the query. I have seen several others who chose to talk what they want and know rather than responding to the specific question
Incredible description of the mind - as in the little child watching a movie and images flickering across the screen, where the screen can't be seen or realised until the movie is turned off and only then is the nature of the screen is seen. I've never heard this before, but I found this description incredible!
❤ the clarity! Very convincing ... what Swamiji is saying about once you EXPERIENCE the reality beyond mind, the further experiences of the world, mind etc cease to be obstacles- this thought first struck me after listening to a few NDEs ftom some very articulate minds-- and that EXPERIENCE of a few moments is SO REAL/TRUE- that it never leaves them for a moment from that point on returning ( in most xases unwillingly !) to their physical bodies! Their entire being is so aware of that realm beyond the life on earth in physical bodies-- its what i understood all the dualities and conflicts thereof just disappear in th air!! Now Swamiji's explanation ofcourse clarifies this further... Thank you❤🙏
Pranam Maharaj 🙏🙏🙏 Jai Shree Ramakrishna It has been a great solace to listen to your speeches. i deeply aspire to dedicate this life for Spiritual Sadhana and to get closer to God as much as possible. But there is a big obstacle in my Spiritual path which is dragging me again n again into negativities each time i progress a little. Since childhood i ve been a helpless victim of blackmagic n crooked tortures from my elder brother n his wicked guru. That has caused health problems in my body , mind and has ruined my social life. And now with the help of some durmanthravadins , astrologers n oraganizations he is again trying to trap me and put me in assylum. Within a week he may succeed in it and if he does, he will destroy me so badly that i would never be able to do any Spiritual Sadhana in this life. i am in big trouble. Please help and bless me Swamiji , to be shifted to a secure place to stay protected from his men... where i can pursue my Spiritual Goal more deeply. Humbly seeking Your blessings. 🙏 OM
🙏🙏🏻🌺🌻🌺Pronams,deepest Pronams, Maa Anandamoyee..Pronams Rev.Maharajji.For me,blessings is the only path, O,Mother, never ever cease from blessing this very child, so that the obstacles always trying to dissuade me help me to quicken my journey towards Realization. For my head is in inexplicable turmoil.🌻🌺🌻🙏🏻🙏 Pronams 🌷 Rev.Maharajji, Everyday l offer my gratitude to you 🙏 Bless me.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Silence is experienced sometimes n a desire to deep down within come ,but if I continue I feel Silence. But l am unable to co ntinue feel like lying down. But I have to go n react with them bcz of my health n age.. I don't know what should do it. Am l too ambitious? Am I endangering myself,remember Holy Mother 's warning about seekers going mad bcz of overenthusiasm.Lead Your sure n kindly light, O Mother, I await .pronams Rev.Maharajji.For 1🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much for such simple explanation of a very deep complex phenomenon. I pay my sincere salutation to Swami ji for his service and kindness.
Namaste. I enjoy listening to you almost daily. When you quoted a swami or yogi saying only when the mind is still you can know/feel God , in my experience at times even when I am living daily doing my routine stuff I can still 'hear' the divine communicating with me, comforting me and loving me. Very clearly. So it is not necessary to have the mind under such strict control to know God. Just an observation...
This can happen in two ways, and both will be seen by the world as some form of madness/ mental derangement. 1. The first one is due to a deep passion for and love for God, and constantly returning the mind and thoughts to revolve around God. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and devotees like Mirabai, exemplify the highest levels of such " madness" in and for God/ chosen deity. During their lifetimes, they also faced ridicule and were called mad. But they did not care for the calumny and taunts of the world. But God or God's voice was not sensed by them as a constant background chatter, infiltrating into the mind, but any of their conversations with God were only when they voluntarily/ volitionally endeavoured during prayer and worship , or even during lay activities to so communicate with God. 2. The second type of experience of frequently or constantly 'hearing' God and communicating with him, is in fact a delusional state of the mind arising from schizophrenic tendencies and/ or bipolar disorder, and needs medical treatment. One needs to be sure which one of these methods/ forms of " communicating" with God is the reality in one's case, and without a proper Guru to assess the true Nature of your God experience, self- assessment is not reliable. Doctors would classify both types as a sort of madness. But the first type is an ennobling madness for God, the second one is a life sapping, enfeebling delusional medical madness.
In my experience as a mediator mind is certainly not an obstacle but in meditation I become more conscious of the mind.After a point it evolves into a process where one is awake outside and asleep inside.When in sleep it's the reverse.🙏
Thank you for kindly guidance. Finally properly understood the reason for endeavor to be free from ignorance. The same ignorance made me almost give up and live as it was given.
Insane ❤ explanation, that I needed, it's been years since I lived in fear hearing all the stillness, samadhi... Stop the mind... teaching and freaked like anything. Now your explanation, brought some clarity today. I know what I need to work on. With knowledge is also possible, it is a relaxation. Now, whatever that shortens the journey.. I can do it without fear of losing everything.
Example of the screen to a child well explained about the realized soul acting in the world. Swamiji your talk is very precise to the point. Swami Vivekananda's point well well explained
Matchless articulation of a brilliant question....! Such profound deliberation and insightful clarification perhaps become possible only when the preceptor is self-realized ! The simile of cinema and screen seem to be the best to think of ! If the mind can be consciously detached from the objects of distraction or delusion following any branch of 'Yoga' (or any other methods whatsoever) expounded in the scriptures like 'Rajyoga' or 'Kriyayoga' for example, it can be zeroed in on the absolute being ! Once this sublime state is achieved, the mind that is accustomed to get busy in worldly affairs, begins to experience the ineffable truth, inexpressible ever new joy and can decisively distinguish between the 'REAL' and 'UNREAL' . Respectful salutations to revered Swami Sarvapriyanandaji maharaj 🙏🏻💐
Swami ji, i have been watching your videos for last three years finally after watching this video the concept is clear. Thanks a lot for this explanation... 🙏🏼
Very well explained to an ordinary family person who has actually never been exposed to such deep spiritual experiences but he can understand the nuances of spirituality by listening to this talk. PRANAM. Thanks Swami ji.
Swamiji you have helped me so much as i am too a combination of all 3 paths, basically a child of God with great attachment emotionally to Divine parents in all forms ....trying to get knowledge through study of Geetha Upanishads etc also doing japa meditation and trying for stillness of mind. Need your blessings in my march ahead. 🙏🙏🙏🕉️🌺
Poojya Swamiji Pranams!! Swamiji, there is a state of mind where it goes blank. There is no thought working in the mind nor anything like enlightenment happening. It happens automatically just like that without any efforts. It appears to be a biologically buit in traint/state. After listening to all the spiritual discourses we find we are not where we were nor reached where we should be.
Monumental talk. The amount of wisdom and insight packed here is insane.
❤ .. is ULTRASANE..SUBLIME SANE !..❤
When Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks, he captivates, locks me in.
I will continue to say, He is the greatest orator of our time.
The yogic path of silencing the mind is what worked for me. Only silencing the mind is not something you can do. It slows down on its own, like a spinning top eventually comes to rest.
He is a gem of indian philosophy
I do have great respect for a tradition that can teach with a smile and openmindness...
Once Enlightened always enlightened.
Sarvapriyananda is the best teacher. Such enthusiasm, amusing stories and very well spoken teachings.
Both the question and the explnaation, are awesome & very profound. Gratitude and Pranams
Brilliant question and even more brilliant answer. Humble pranams to the questioner and Swamiji. 🙏🙏🙏
Very practical, bhakti, yogic, advaidic, teaching. ❤
all lead to the Same! That's a perfect Harmony among all paths
After listening him for 5 years… I feel this can be a breakthrough…..
😂
Since I hve been listening Ur discourses 2018 I hve no no anymore questions or doubts or problems.This is the magic of ur divine N crucial lectures on the divine knowledge.
He has answers of all questions on spirituality..
'' Only when you have two you have samsara..when you have no two, you have no samsara. Your free.'' Profound.
How wonderful to hear Swamiji speak of Anandamayi Ma! Much much appreciation
Your explanations are just brilliant. The movie analogy was so perfect !
Yes bro, I really loved the 'movie' analogy 🎉🎉🎉
Mind Blowing Movie Analogy for Understanding Reality!
Duniya to duniya😢

What Happens When Your Heart Hears the Truth?
প্রনাম গুরুজি।
The swami makes us understand, it is not our , it is grace .❤
❤Grace😂
🎉😢
Silence is, wide open. From this, we can learn what is. Silence is révélation...
Swamijis ability to recall is incredible
By far the most knowledgeable guru!!

Yes, that’s so true of people who have had near-death experiences. It makes sense. How could you forget? 🙏🏻🪷
this cleared so many of the questions i have been encountering
For me Ma = the Mother❤️. Ramakrishna = the Master 🙏. The Swami = the Teacher 🧘🏼. And all are One.❤️🙏🧘🏼
Thank you Swamiji

Superb. Beautifully explained. Pranam Maharaj.
Thank you very much for such simple explanation of a very deep complex phenomenon. I pay my sincere salutation to Swami ji for his service and kindness.
We knew this in the UK during the second world war, which is why we were told: Keep calm and carry on.

The last sentence is the crux 🙏

I like how this dude explains stuff.
Thank you for kindly guidance. Finally properly understood the reason for endeavor to be free from ignorance.

Great question leads to monumental answer.
Thank you.
Very truthful🙏
Amazingly simple explanation.
