      I think the difference is, he REALLY understands it himself, and has no egoic desire to appear mystic and unobtainable. It makes him a very good teacher.

    Inspired by wave/ocean discussion at about 12:00
    Imagine a conscious ocean wave. The wave sees itself as separate from other waves. The wave realizes that one day it will cease to be, an event it calls “beach.” The thought of beach prompts the wave to question itself. What am I, really? What happens after beach?
    I am part, thinks the wave, of a vast, ancient ocean. I am not ocean but ocean is me. Yet, I feel separate and vulnerable and afraid of beach. What can I do to consciously realize my identity with ocean? To physically merge with ocean, I would have to cease to be. Which would be the death of me. But I can go halfway. Now and then, I’ll sit and meditate on my identity with ocean. Sitting in meditation, I’ll try to cultivate a still peaceful mental state. In mentally giving up thoughts, emotions, and physical movement, I abstract myself from myself and feel myself as ocean, vast and unlimited.
    Some say that at beach we merge with ocean. Seems reasonable. Now, back to meditation.

    Ah, I've considered this. You get into this loop of: I'm aware. Now I'm aware that I'm aware. But now I'm aware of the awareness of my awareness. And now I'm aware that I'm aware of the awareness of my awareness.. and so on.
    I like to illustrate it as 2 mirrors, facing each other., you know, you get that repeating reflection and it just goes on and on and on? That. But the mind. And the awareness is you, the person looking down the infinity mirror and seeing no end.

      If you don't read Bhagvad geeta which is Gods words and beating in the bush here there give your own interpretation then how can you understand consciousness.
      First thing is no body can describe what is brahmn ,because no body can speak it ,one who realize he can not speak because it's not the subject of words, then how you can speak, that's why without mercy of the supreme soul or God no body can understand him as it is mention in upnishad

    Good description of awareness. The very obsession to objectify is the inherent property of duality itself. This is suffering. Buddha suggests to wake up. Duality continues as appearances but the objectifying of them along with grasping and rejection is seen for what it is.

    Hari Om prabhu ji parnam, humble submission 🕉️ is an an symbolic (AKAAR) REPRESENTATION of BRAHMN very well defined in MANDUKYA UPNISHED which is a derivative result of meditation as already experienced by saints, also the point of reference for guidance. This symbol appears in the forehead in the process of meditation in a natural way. So can we call this phenomenon as an objective formation of SPIRITUAL AWARENESS? Respectful regards.

    We are the parts of one awareness. Ok, but we all exist with our individual identity as a man. If we dissolve ourselves in one awareness, then we will lose our identity as a man. Then nothing comes and goes for a man whether the awareness is vast or eternal. Similarly, if a wave dissolves in the water of the sea, it loses its life and identity. There is no benefit for that wave whether the sea is vast or not. Is it like this?

      But if can not speak... realisation is also a different awareness and speak is also.. so it is not something that is staring with born baby or something... awareness by the physical process can only start. If consciousness is one universal then it is eaternal.
