My father, Late Syam Sundar Chaudhury was a Sanskrit Pandit of 1950's. When I was 14 he would chant all these verses of Uponishads to me and would try to explain God as it is, as Uddalok to Shewtaketu. I was never interested but he would try. After a journey of 60 years of life now I feel how a father should be. After hearing Swami Swarbapriyanandji I recall him and recall one thing that my father did not attain the highest but achieved one thing in his life, he achieved to be free from Krodha and Dwesa (anger and jealousy). So it will take birth after birth to attain the highest and he will try to teach his son in every life. My father was my spiritual Guru in real sense but I could not recognise.
My morning Routine is with my Teacher. Swami Sarvapriananda. Namaste to all. Love all. Thank you ALL (editing, processing etc) for your uploads. You are affecting people's lives in a positive way.
No matter how bad i feel i must remind myself that this all is a manifestation of my highest self. Everything is exactly as it should be. Everything is perfect
Introspection is must before deriving the conclusion u just drew..enquire who is feeling like this, what is making this feeling, why are u feeling like this. Only mind borne sufferings can be removed with the mind rationaling. The sufferings of body and sufferings inflicted by nature can't be dealt with mind rationaling, they will be there. Measures to some extent can be taken to alleviate them.
if you do finally manifest $2B and feel good with yourself, make a point of manifesting $2.1B and sending me the 100 million, then we can both be happy
@Greg LeJacques Lord is not bound to any gender.. Krishna is Param Purush (Purush×=Man)... Whenever u think of Supreme being whether Brahaman or God ..they all are Purusha....
@@amanenergy4181 yes he will .... do u know Swamiji's previous name was Biswaroop 🙏🏽...So, if u r thinking as he talks about brahman & Advaita bedanta.. he doesn't follow bhakti... that's wrong... In Ramkrishna order everyone follow the path of Bhakti as well.. it's iskcon's narrative that who are not vaishnav they are "Mayabadi"...
@Greg LeJacques & i know from where all this shit is comming in ur head which also expressed from ur language.. though it's quite amazing that u always hear such videos or podcast... good for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i wonder if u r not like all these why are u bothering about all these at all ??
There is no such thing really as mostly or almost Enlightened. Either one is or one is not. And kindly don't assume things out of nowhere. Probably you live in a materialistic world and rarely come across spiritually advanced individuals but in societies which value religion or spirituality more it need not be the case.
Thank you very very much Swamiji and rest of the members involved in uploading this video on internet.Vedanta and it's beautiful,blissful explanation by Swamiji is helping me to know and understand more about Spirituality. I pray for the Spiritual elevation of each and every person in this Universe🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It’s a very meaningful question, to become truly free you have to let go the path which brought you to this realization! It’s all a play of the mind. ❤
When one reaches d destination i.e universal truth..then d attachment to d path itself sheds away..it wont matter anymore..Infact nothing will matter any more..
Beautiful answer!! Quoting Madukya upanishads to answer this question was apt. The enlightened will know that there is nobody who is enlightened. Just like a thorn is used to remove another thorn and then both discarded, Vidhya Maya is used to remove Avidya Maya and both are discarded. Pranams .
When the zen master asks you if you have awakened and you think you have and say "yes" and then he slaps you, you know directly what Maya is and even feels like in space/time. Maya is just a doorway. Fall all the way through. Great explanation Swamij i!!!
What is this peace that i feel Swami jee ? I am not witnessing peace but i am peace . I feel like universe is really holding me in its own arms like how the child feels when mother holds that child in her arms. It's like sitting under the sun on winter morning..do you know how warm it feels,how cozy it is.... Let me tell you ..words are not enough ....words are not enough...they never were they never will be. It is something other worldly....its like slowly fading away and melting into peace pure peace swamiji....its otherworldly...it's like my divine mother has arrived and she is holding me in her arms..i wish i could describe this ...what this is i don't know 🙏
True gems are here in this channel. Thank you so much Swami and thank you all the listeners. It's reall Very sad thing that this kind of channel is not having 1 cr subscription. Imagine what kind of content people of India are going through
I resonate with ur words....really where are 1 crore like subscription going towards wen we Indians have so much rich vedas and spiritual content to enlighten us...isn't all this more important than other aspects in life actually only this is most important than other things in life.....
@@Geetanjali-inspired it's really impact of maya.... Trust me i tried very hard to aware about these things ( to know why we exist) to people but less than 1 percent people want to know.. Others are literally hypnotized by maya... They die but they don't even question nor they curious about existence
It's because most of the Indians prefer Hindi or regional lectures. Though they're interested in these topics but listening to mother language keeps attention and curiosity.
@@arjunvakil3287 yes brother really agree with u ..true very true... i too have seen in and around me less than 1 percent are interested in spiritual aspect more on material worldly acquisitions...yes maya deep effect of maya...only wen calamity strikes or suffering in material world or for few old age wisdom sets in do they turn towards bhagwat geeta for wisdom or solace yet pleasantly on other hand I have seen youth fervently into spiritual aspect to quote some see his holiness amrendra iskcon...also see kabir cafe youth also see sadho band young boys I am glad many many such youth have taken timely spiritual path.. actually once we go spiritual it automatically will empower all of us in acquiring watever our hearts desire in materialworld too...otherwise too it will give us immense bliss contentment to surf in this world ocean smoothly....also one must follow youth sessions of hita ambrish ji....or mukundanandji or sarvapriyanandaji....🙏
A beautiful self realized soul can witness the presence in the current moment against the backdrop of infinite darkness and can experience everything as a movie. This magical creation by the self unfolds every moment for one to experience and cherish. Listening and observing deeply within can bring the experience for a self realized human being to witness this paradise. There is no limit to this experiences as there are no boundaries if one’s consciousness is merged into the eternal consciousness. Therefore, every moment the magic unfolds in front of this beautiful soul to experience, cherish and repeat in the world of infinite possibilities.
I am tempted at all times to first attend your vdos Swami ji🙏🏼…even if I am running out of time😊…it helps me for future course of action 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💐in a very smooth way …
OMG, now I understand that zen koan: Nangaku sits in meditation, Basho asks him what's he doing. Nangaku says, " to be a buddha" . So Basho picks up a title and starts to polish it. Intrigued, Nangaku asks him why? Basho, says he intends to polish it into a mirror. " mirror? but it's a tile, doesn't matter how much you do it, it'll never be a mirror! " To this Basho replies, " and how can sitting in meditation help you become a buddha? " Everyone is already awakened, the searching for awakening and the idea of awakening itself are all just Maya. A profound paradox.
Nice explanation of the core of this suutra (from memory; hyphens for easier reading): prakaasha-kriyaa-sthiti-shiilaM bhuutendriyaatmakaM *bhoga-apavarga*arthaM dRshyam. -- Jai Guru Dev, Svaamii Brahmaananda Sarasvatii, Jagadguru Bhagavaan Shankaraacaarya of Jyotir MaTha (1941 - 1953?), guru of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi -- Greetings from Finland!
Hari Om Swamiji, thank you very much for educating us the fundamentals of Non Dual Philosophy in English. Your story telling and narration has helped me convert to a monk, a digital one. Thank you once again. Hari hi Om, Tatsat.
Maya or Mithya is to be uncovered by Vidya or understanding the Ultimate. The inner revelation and self contentment making one , No one can really explain Tne Ultimate as it’s beyond senses , unexplainable; one can feel but can’t explain. It’s an experiential process only
A sudden sadness and dread has enveloped me. How long will this confusion last? Is there ever a chance to reach a state where this existential dread is no longer present?
Happens to me often. All I can do is tell myself a very true fact. It will pass. It is temporary. And this implies the good states will also pass and is temporary too... while this seems depressing actually there is a peace there. I think at the end of the day we are not looking for good times and pleasure we are really wanting deep peace. We are not the happy or sad or dreadful states, we are the one who notices these passing states. This is the truth. Maya will pull you hard to get involved on the pleasures and dread of life.. try to stay in the truth. The awareness The peace And your mind will slowly calm down and still like deep relaxation. Do this for as long as it takes. Be it days or years. Persist
I can’t vouch for that dread no longer being present, but one thing that helps me a lot during such times is turning a witness to these experiences….once you become your own witness then any state will stop affecting you…. they’ll come and go yet you won’t bother….it’ll just be a part of life. Just go with the flow and things will fall into place….just have faith things will work out eventually and be in absolutely no hurry…
@@asofotida443 yes, this phase is like the final exam which may take years (and lives), and that’s why realisation seems tough practically even though it seems easy theoretically. I have the same problem and a lot of times I feel like giving up but with all the knowledge it definitely is becoming manageable enough to keep going. One day we will get there for sure, cheers 🌺
A while ago, I was contemplating existence and more specifically my existence. Eventually as scanned through mind's wonderings and I stopped to investigate a thought: Maya is Brahman and Brahman is Maya. From then, my prospective evolved just tad bit more, but ultimately it was inevitably circular - however, I still haven't found the words or phrases to make that thought digestible outside of myself. If only I knew.
. Namaste, if i may ... my 2-bits... Maya is the inherent power of brahman, so one can say maya is brahman, but we cannot say brahman is maya. Brahman ‘as such’ is attributeless, thus 'powerless'. Maya is the power of brahman to appear as though with attributes. Maya power is name form and utility attributes that appear in brahman. The analogy of clay and pot is used to bring out clarity. Like clay and pot. Clay is attributeless, but the pot has name, form, and utility. Substantially, there is only clay, pot is an empty word signifying only name, form and utility of clay. Clay is independent existence. Pot is a dependent existence dependant on clay. Pot is, when and because clay is. Clay is, regardless of whether pot is or not (say broken). Wherever you touch on the pot is clay. The pot does not weigh even 1 gram more than the clay from which it is made. The form, name and utility has not added a single gram tto the weight of clay in the pot. I can show you a substance called clay, but I cannot show you a substance called either name or form or utility/ Name, form and Utility are empty words. Yet they are all clay. Clay is none of these. It may seem circular, but it is not. It is not a free fall down a bottom less pit. You will hit ground and the ground is brahman. Everything is deniable and denied, except thee ground on which the ‘things’ need to be grounded on. .
Time (kal) is the ultimate maya. It forms the "closed circle mind" within which the jiva (kala) circles birth after birth (niyoti) due to false sense of knowledge (vidya) and emotions (raga) i.e. pancha konchuk. Meditation break down time to its most infinitesimal division crossing which the mind with all its stuff (emotion, intelligence, feeling etc which are nothing more than subtle vibrations and hence time bound) vanishes liberating the jiva.
The I consciousness (jiva) is intricately intertwined with the apparent external universe, both being formed simultaneously by different attributes of time (sense organs of the jiva and the five mahabhutas which is perceived by these as forming the external reality). That is why it is stressed that getting rid of the I is so very important in the process of realizing the true Self or Brahma. But it is not easy due to vikshep shakti (outward motion of energy during its workable manifestation) which keeps the infinitesimal divisions of time appear as continuous external world. Only powerful inward withdrawal with detachment from external world can gradually sever this falsely appearing continuum
@@GRay-fp2kb The jiva is a thought. Although it is said to responsible for liberating itself, the thing it's responsible for is falsely believing itself to be responsible. The nature of mind/ego is control.
All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. BH.

A sudden sadness and dread has enveloped me. How long will this confusion last? Is there ever a chance to reach a state where this existential dread is no longer present?
Who is this me? You are beyond sadness and pleasure !
Happens to me often. All I can do is tell myself a very true fact. It will pass. It is temporary. And this implies the good states will also pass and is temporary too... while this seems depressing actually there is a peace there. I think at the end of the day we are not looking for good times and pleasure we are really wanting deep peace. We are not the happy or sad or dreadful states, we are the one who notices these passing states. This is the truth. Maya will pull you hard to get involved on the pleasures and dread of life.. try to stay in the truth. The awareness
The peace
And your mind will slowly calm down and still like deep relaxation.
Do this for as long as it takes. Be it days or years. Persist
I can’t vouch for that dread no longer being present, but one thing that helps me a lot during such times is turning a witness to these experiences….once you become your own witness then any state will stop affecting you…. they’ll come and go yet you won’t bother….it’ll just be a part of life. Just go with the flow and things will fall into place….just have faith things will work out eventually and be in absolutely no hurry…

The form, name and utility has not added a single gram tto the weight of clay in the pot. I can show you a substance called clay, but I cannot show you a substance called either name or form or utility/ Name, form and Utility are empty words. Yet they are all clay. Clay is none of these.
It may seem circular, but it is not. It is not a free fall down a bottom less pit. You will hit ground and the ground is brahman.
Everything is deniable and denied, except thee ground on which the ‘things’ need to be grounded on.

Brilliant explanation
Time (kal) is the ultimate maya. It forms the "closed circle mind" within which the jiva (kala) circles birth after birth (niyoti) due to false sense of knowledge (vidya) and emotions (raga) i.e. pancha konchuk. Meditation break down time to its most infinitesimal division crossing which the mind with all its stuff (emotion, intelligence, feeling etc which are nothing more than subtle vibrations and hence time bound) vanishes liberating the jiva.
If I plant a garden and then die. I won't be reborn because I have to inherit my garden. I'll be reborn because I confuse the Self to be a gardener.
The I consciousness (jiva) is intricately intertwined with the apparent external universe, both being formed simultaneously by different attributes of time (sense organs of the jiva and the five mahabhutas which is perceived by these as forming the external reality). That is why it is stressed that getting rid of the I is so very important in the process of realizing the true Self or Brahma. But it is not easy due to vikshep shakti (outward motion of energy during its workable manifestation) which keeps the infinitesimal divisions of time appear as continuous external world. Only powerful inward withdrawal with detachment from external world can gradually sever this falsely appearing continuum
@@GRay-fp2kb The jiva is a thought. Although it is said to responsible for liberating itself, the thing it's responsible for is falsely believing itself to be responsible. The nature of mind/ego is control.
All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. BH.
