Vedanta class taught by Swami Tadatmananda at Arsha Bodha Center. Selected verses. Videos of all classes taught so far are available here: • Upadesha Sahasri - One...
Text with Swami Tadatmananda's translation available here: arshabodha.org...
Vedanta is not a subject matter, a spiritual doctrine, or a philosophy - it is a method of self-inquiry (atma-vichara) based on the wisdom (vidya) of the ancient rishis, as found in the Upanishads, a part of the sacred Vedic scriptures. This method can lead you to discover your true, divine nature (sat-chit-ananda atma) and gain moksha, freedom from suffering.
Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha...

He is recycling the same point over and over. I am going to challenge Vedas. For example, If a bad cop knocks on my door, is the knower (conscious me) going to respond to the known (the knocking sound from the cop) or just ignore it as part of my differentiated consciousness? For the mortal beings, differentiated consciousness is important for survival in the physical realm. It is not meaningless. The problem is that we overdo it and divide our consciousness too often out of stress. That’s where Shankara reminds us to step back and fall back to undifferentiated one consciousness. 🙏

Deep analysis and narrative on the three states of everyday human existence is just unique to Vendanta. Don't think such deep analysis is available in other religious philosophies. Please correct if this understanding is not correct.

[@alukuhito]

I think Swami-ji knows a lot about some other religions, but he's not a master of all religions. Does it matter what other religions say about this topic? You could always do some googling.

@@alukuhito sure, with great respect and salutations.
The observation is to note the uniqueness of the Srutis of our Rishis of the yores!
