Is Enlightenment Spontaneous or Gradual? | Swami Sarvapriyananda

- 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.
Pronam Maharaj 🙏

Swami Sarvapriyananda is Gem 💎 Brahman
You can only see in others what you have in you.
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.
The not-enlightened person perceives everything that comes in through the senses as recognition. His/her attention is a selection by his/her mind. The mind is like a sieve made of memories, that filters all sensory impressions and captures only the recognizable impressions. That is the basic function of the mind: to select what is meaningful through a sieve of memories from earlier experiences. That mind interprets and names every observation by recognition with what it thinks to “know” already. The mind is doing this sieving because the mind is serving and protecting the person: the selfimage of that man or woman. But when enlightenment occurs the sieve, the filter, is washed out and cleaned from previous connections that allowed only comparison and recognition. All of a sudden the enlightened person can see his/ her observations in the totality of the phenomena, unfiltered by the question what that phenomenon means for the person. The person that was there as a selfimage is no more. The mind perceives phenomena as they are in themselves, not only in what they mean to the self.
Absolutely right. The process of dissolving self image (ego) is the actual path for the spiritual seeker.
Jai Ramakrishna ❤ Swami sarvapriyananda
Hari Om Tat Sat!
So beautifully explained❤🙏
When you turn within the path unfolds thru Grace.. but purity of mind is necessary to get started.

Waiting for Enlightenment is like Waiting for Godot, who never arrives. Instead, Live Life with Enlightening Moments and days.
This Life is Good Enough!
Namaskaram Swamiji 🙏🌷
Like Ramakrishna said, enlightenment is in the nature of understanding.
Not like some lightening striking one moment.
But the ability to have the correctness in the nature of understanding, comes as a lightening, perhaps?
Mostly gradual, for some maybe in an instant @@sn5953
Simplest proof of enlightenment is that animals and birds are attracted to enlightened persons.
I just got shat on by a bird. Does that count?🤪
I can say u r intelligent 😮
As vivekanand said we can clean the mirror of mind, till we see the clear reflection of atma soul source in heart region.🙏
So, this Atman is an independent entity that resides in the heart? Can you explain how this is possible?
@@texastexas4541 Not in the heart , but in Heart Region. Anahata chakra region, where they say soul in the form of divine light is there. I don’t say this, Scholars say this.🙏
@@sunitimahale1785 This is the first time i am hearing this. Oh, ok, someone told you this. Heart region? Any specific place?
@@texastexas4541 Left side of physical heart is spiritual heart, it is consciousness, awareness also, with sadhana it evolves and ultimately Love for all development takes place as we come to understanding that in everything everyone God particle resides. Lifetimes of sadhana is needed for that, i am just on the path a true seeker nothing else.🙏
@@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.
Meethi meethi language❤😊
Truthful means making statements that are true …based on experience …or direct statements of those who are experienced ….from their own ….not making statements and stories….without evidence is mere pleading
Enlightened beings do have powers. It's from my experience of Kriya Yoga masters: Paramahamsa Hariharananda, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, and Paramahamsa Shuddhananda. Problem is, to the novice, this is either magic or tantric. But these Enlightened beings, as you said, avoid using it. And if they use it, they don't advertise it...and that's exactly how I know.
May I ask what is the spiritual difference between duty (kartavya) and responsibility ( dyaitwa)?
U got answer..if so tell me too I'm curious about it
🙏🙏🙏
Mirage is appearance of real thing( water)….illusion is appearance of real

Meditation is not focus
Focused itself forced upon you that you can't deny
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The editing in this channel is bad. This isn't the news that it needs to be so harsh. We are not here to watch republic tv.
Brother Why ,why we see the graphic, the sound . That is for the stupid ,ignorant who put this together. Concentrate on the Swamiji.
W comment
😂😂 ikr. Its completely out of context and its very distracting lol
ll Om ll
When mirror is polished pure power witness itself. So usage of 5 sensory organs and mind will be abandoned.
Swami ji you should make it sound easy...and not so difficult.
People on earth my view is forget about all what he said...just focus on Atma your soul...it will do the rest. Else still your life will be easy on earth...you are Atma and you are not the doer
Tumi ki bolchi❤😊lovely language bengali.
Did anyone say he is enlightened?
No, he also does not think he is enlighten.
It is sudden😊
No, continuous unraveling
@@ganeshnh According millions of Indians who are enlightened, It is continuous and very very slow for a long time and then suddenly it becomes very sudden.
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.
@@sn5953 How did you get that understanding (330 million enlightened were Gods)?
Is swamiji enlightened? Does anyone know?It seems when one sits near an enlightened person they can feel the energy. So, has anyone experienced this energy when sitting near swamiji?
Definitely he is. He is so clear and precise is explaining about it.
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.
It won’t, but you should try.
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.
Didn't Jesus use 'magical' powers?
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.
Are you enlightened?
@@ganeshnh Oh, yes, he is. It is so obvious because he is explaining everything in such detail (especially advitha).
@@ganeshnh 100%
Many people like J K ,U G K etc. say there is no path to enlightenment and every sadhana is futile and gurus are cheaters
To 'judge' or 'label' somebody as enlightened or unenlightened is a great delusion.
And Know That The Dharmic Sabdas/Words Uttered By The Pure Souls/Acharyas ARE FUFILLED By The Lord !! Those Words Being Rooted in Dharma, They Get The Power To Become Realized and Are Destined To Be Fulfilled, By The Will of THE LORD !! So Acharya Apacharam (Of The Pure Souls) IS ONE OF The Most Sinful Act, to be avoided by ALL Means !!
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.
@@TheAparajit Enlightenment is not an experience.......That makes sense. Please tell me more about REALIZATION and 'WITNESS'. Thanks!
@@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.
These are all just non sensical atuff bro. Dont waste too much time on these. Just guilty pleasures.
@@guitarvorous Plenty of mental juggling. I reckon it is good exercise for the neurons......wait a minute, these neurons don't exist, right? Or is it that these neurons are actually Atman or Brahman?
@@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.
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.
If we get bored..we can come again to the world..but that time we can plan our life whichever way we want..now we have no significant control over ourselves,that's the only difference 😅😅
