  • In this enlightening video, Swami Sarvapriyananda addresses key questions about the nature of enlightenment: Is enlightenment a spontaneous event, or does it unfold gradually? What distinguishes an enlightened person from one who has not yet attained enlightenment? Furthermore, can an enlightened being perceive the past, present, and future in ways that others cannot? This talk delves deep into the transformation of consciousness and the unique attributes of those who realize the truth of their being.

    The path towards enlightenment is a gradual progress in time.
    Enlightenment itself is always here and now, outside of time.

    You can only see in others what you have in you.

      @texastexas4541 День назад

      That is all your mind is capable of doing because it can only use its own memories (preconditioning, bad habits etc) to produce an image of the other person in your brain. Basically, you are projecting your own image onto others. When you have nasty feelings about others, it says something about yourself at so many levels.

      @@sunitimahale1785 Forgive me for asking some questions. Do you actually believe that the left side of the heart is consciousness, awareness and spiritual? Do you actually believe that the heart muscle cells create consciousness, awareness and spiritual experience? That does not make any sense at all. Whoever told you this is clearly misleading you horribly with very false knowledge. Please realize this and find the right path. Consciousness, awareness and spiritual feelings mainly come from the actions of the brain cells. For example, anesthesia drugs work on the brain cells, not the heart muscle cells. Heart continues to work under anesthesia. I hope you gather enough courage to reject such false knowledge and eventually find what you are looking for.

      By "... millions of Indians who are enlightened...", you don't mean Indians who are currently alive, or do you?
      My understanding of the '330 million Hindu Gods and Goddesses' is that they were all ordinary human beings (in the past) who attained enlightenment, and are thus considered Gods and Godesses.

    Non-duality is fucking boring. It is only for people who wanna be fixed in one position and feel like they are God with a God-like mind with a mysteriously sense of knowing everything which is hard to explain. It's that and divine light, love, ecstacy, eternity - but soooooo fucking boooooooring. No body, no creation, no animation, just fucking divine light and no darkness nowhere. No space, no relative time, just fucking boring place with a God-like mind, thinking you're God - yes, you really think like that. Who the hell wanna be awake like that in an eternity? For real. Your soul is fucking inactive, and that is the worse thing you wanna experience. It's cool for a short time, but when you wanna be active you'll be throwen out from that place and you'll be sent to your body where you can be active. That is the fucking truth of nirguna Brahman.

    why are you confused??sir
    atham is already pure and it is in its chetana state...but unfortunately our heart or manassu is dirty because of memories(old karma) and pouring dirt called new thoughts (new karma), which causes the mirror to be dirty and we cannot see paramathma everywhere and in everything.
    Vivekanada swamiji said do the karma in such a way to polish the mirror to see paramathma everywhere as advitha person.

      None of the swamis or gurus are. They are advanced but they dont get it.
      But it will take you lifetimes to realize this folly. So you are better off listening to them. Try it, see if it gets you anywhere.

      Anything finite is negligible in the face of the infinite. So advanced is the same as beginner. There is no progress. There is only interest in the truth, which nobody has. Truth is the simplest thing. When there is interest, it cannot stay hidden.

    If this Brahman is beyond the mind, how can this mind experience Brahman? Experience involves thoughts (which is based on memories) and images created from memories. Then this 'enlightenment' is actually an illusion created by the mind. No wonder, all these descriptions of enlightened people are so VAGUE. There is no such thing as enlightenment where one experiences (LOL) enlightenment. You cannot experience something beyond the mind. You just cannot.

      @texastexas4541 День назад

      @@TheAparajit Thanks for this explanation. I agree it is bizarre because it is hard to understand how something beyond this mind can be realized by this mind. It is beyond means it is beyond...... you cannot realize this using this mind. The 'witness' part needs more explanation. What is it witnessing and why is it witnessing? Does it have to witness? Or it just exists (pure existence or pure awareness)?......in this case, it is indifferent to what is going on in the world.
      "then a natural realisation arises..."who is this that is watching/waiting for them to occur?". This is the pure "Witness", all pervading but without any attributes....it's bizarre." The problem in this explanation is that so many attributes are given to the Brahman. When there is no memories, thoughts and images, how can you ask questions like, "who is this that is watching/waiting for them to occur?"" The words who, this, watching, waiting, occur all refer to objects and actions in your mind (thoughts are generated). If there is no content in your mind, these questions CANNOT arise because no thoughts can be generated. My understanding of the Vedanta tells me that one cannot say anything about the Brahman (it is not this, it is not that......until cows come home). Ramana Maharshi expressed it the best way "SILENCE"......... no words at all.

      ​​​​@@guitarvorous sorry to say this..just because I cannot understand the subtle concept of a subject, I cannot write off the concept..
      A human mind has to become pure, without likes and dislikes and all negatives such as jealousy, pride, anger, lust etc. Then only, in that pure mind this subtle concept can be consumed to attain that experiential state, which is beyond the,mind and intellect, which cannot be described in words...
      So, basically the qualification required to grasp this is to have a pure mind.
