But: If the bucket is the body, the water is the mind and the reflected Sun in the water is the 'reflected consciousness'; what is the Ego ? It is described as a function of the Mind; therefore, it must be in the water. Now, assuming that the Ego is that part of the water that is reflecting the Sun, then there is no need to add a mirror to the metaphor. But it does require a more precise description of the relationships that leads to the salient point - there being no relation between the Ego and the Sun. In addition, the explanation of "is-ness" being expressed in all things due to the fundamental nature of Brahma being Sat, Chit, Ananda - Shouldn't the explanation of the expression of Consciousness and Ananda be treated in the same way except with those beings capable of expressing these Absolute Natures of Brahman?
@@gregchalmers4633 Yes very much, I also felt the same way . Then I realised that Swami ji is giving an preliminary introduction to Vedanta, and not touching to further division of mind !

Great to know, about Vidyaranya swamis work, I am from karnataka and my native is near Mysore, but vidyaranya swami lived near north karnataka, now known as Vijayanagar district, near koppal district, where Ancient kingdom of kishkinda was located and where lord hanuman 🙏🙏🙏🙏 was born Thank you Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏 And that's also the place where lord Anjaneya first met his lord Rama🙏🙏🙏
I just give my feeling as when I was college boy in 1963 I used to attend discourses of Swami Ranganathan Jee and Swami Swahanand Jee in New Delhi Ashram Auditorium and as young man that touched my heart not intellect then in 1987 I heard discourses when I was judge in Lucknow Ashram and in 1995 as Prof in IAS Academy Missouri I heard from Swami Jee as guest speaker. After comparing all these I found the future imprints of Swami Ranganathan Jee possibility in present Swami Jee and just gave my view as well as wish for respected Swami Jee .
13:02 Knowledge is the whole endeavor, the beautiful way of presenting this, where does Advaita Vedanta strike! This "THING", mind body is suffering, I AM NOT, the mirror borrowed something from me and I give it freely!
Wonderful and clear teachings by Swami Sarvapriyananda as always. I am trying to reconcile that math to gain better and bestter understanding. Hence this question. The present day number of "subtle bodies" (present population) will not be enough the fill the projected population in years to come (given the population increase that is happening). From where do the (future) excess bodies (the arithmetic difference between the population in the future and now) get their subtle bodies from? The same goes for now. The population now is much higher that what it was say a thousand years ago (we actually do not have to go so far back though). So where did the extra subtle bodies (as inhabiting the bodies at present) come from? Would appreciate some help towards my understanding on this confusion. Do some non-human lives become promoted to human lives due to their "good karma"? How can the needed numbers be accounted for? Thank you.
50:46 the I that we experience right now has two functions; a ahamkara sentient ego with body etc., the sentiency in the ego is the reflected consciousness
13:41 let those dream who want to dream, even in dream there is the dreamer, the dream shall break, it had a beginning and shall have an end, that which has an end already stands ended from the standpoint of eternal time, the dream doomed to break has but already broken, effectively thou art That, truly thou art That, now thou art That!

Mind carries with it not the actions performed but impressions in the form of vaasna or likes and dislikes. It will not carry what has happened to this life rather what kind of tendencies developed that will be carries into new body.
We are the witness consciousness existence bliss & we have no relationship with " i" the ego/Mind . If we feel, I am that " i" and that is ignorance. This ignorance can be cut only by the sword of knowledge . You just have to become aware that I shine upon the mind and that is the consciousness which we feel in mind. I am not related to the mind. The moment you snap your relationship with the " i" in your mind , you are free. That is whole endeavour of Advaita Vedanta.
56:01 what happens to a blind person? WOW VERY DEEP QUESTION! Shankaracharya says if you say "I am blind", no, that is false. The particular mechanism of eye and subtle body in this life is not functioning. All that problem is between physical and physiological bodies, not in the Self. If You are blind the world will disappear.
18:39 Rajdhani express platform story!! Lots of hustle bustle prestigious train coming to platform ... Stationmaster did not come with the train and did not go with it, whether there's the Rajdhani express or the goods freight train, then no people on platform empty platform
is 'I' the reflection in the mirror or the mirror itself? If I is the mirror then what is the reflection? Because Swami said that there is no relationship between the witness consciousness and the mirror, but the reflection has a relationship with the witness.
@35:50: So does it mean the SENSE organs & MOTOR organs function in the presence of CONSCIOUSNESS (the reflected consciousness borrowed from the mind) and the INTERNAL organs function in the presence of PRANA? In other words is the information present in the genes of the DNA of the cells of those organs necessary but not sufficient for the organs to do their work? To add, during coma or deep sleep, the mind is off, so there is no reflected consciousness, so the sense+motor organs doesn't function, but since there is prana in the body the internal organs function, and hence the food and oxygen provided on the ventilator to a person in coma are good enough for the internal organs to do their work and produce energy and prevent the body from dying. MAKES SENSE? COMMENTS PLEASE...
Pranam Swamiji. Q1) Does Vedanta believe in 'day of Brahman'? Q2) Day and night is a concept related to any point in space with respect to other brighter body. As Brahman is unique, who can cast a shadow, to create a night and day? Q3) Is it fair to say that when the Brahman decides, entire Maya creation vanishes? Q4) If and when entire Maya creation vanishes, will the enlightened and non-enlightened not meet the same fate of vanishing irrespective of different balance of Karma? Thanks and Regards in anticipation of your reply.
55:44 why is he concentrating on this "I"? Is this I knowledge or is it error? It is a mixture of knowledge and error. "I exist" is knowledge. "I am ignorant, I am knowledgable" is ignorance. I exist, I shine, I am bliss, that is truth.
10:32 when the mind produces and I function, I the Consciousness am shining upon it, so the I that appears I'd a shining I. Why don't we feel consciousness in deep sleep?
Coz there is nothing to shine upon in deep sleep..there is always light in darkness in sky but we don't see it unless some object like asteroid or something passes by...
54:00 be assured, the tendencies of our past lives are here today; mentally very different, and your brain difference is also designed because of that past karma
Hi Sachin- I recommend you a book you get clarity on this & many more persisting doubts . That is "Conversation with God"- Book 1 by Neal Donald Walsch. It clarified me all such doubts
Swami if the pure consciousness is not travel with the mind and the astral body, may I know where is the witness (pure consciousness) situated at? Is it outside the body? I am kindly seeking your answer Please

Swamiji you are so clear. However you speak so quickly that I have to listen few times to understand. Will you be teaching again. Please talk slower. Thanks
Are you, your self a Dharma practitioner? I would like to have a personal talk relayed to Buddha. I am located in the city of Alhambra southern California.
Since the population seems to be growing, are there enough subtle bodies around? What happens, when all the subtle bodies are taken by the newborns? Especially at a time when the life expectancy is growing.
@@shanelunsford5495 If every one is reborn into a new body, the birth rate & death rate on earth should be equal. As the population increases, you need more subtle bodies to fill them right ? I think the gap is filled by subtle bodies from animals and probably aliens too. Aliens are also manifestations of Brahman.
I've never had to 'believe' anything in Vedanta untill now. Reincarnation is something I have to believe. Imagine there is an alien who died on a planet light years away & he is reincarnated into me. How does his karmic info travel to me ? If this doesn't happen reincarnation is limited by space.
This is more lecture of Professor not discourse of swami the difference is that it comes from knowledge than from experience. I am reminded of Swami Ranganathan jee discourse of my youth time in 1964 of Ramakrishna Mission in New Delhi when though college student with very little knowledge his discourse had a effect so I still remember that because he used to speak from heart with experience. Better to be Ashram discourse of swami than professor class in the college. That old atmosphere need to be repeated.
Even if you assume that Swami does not have Experience of Brahman- It is absolutely fine as Veda's say you can attain liberation through one of the four ways 1. Bhakti yoga-- By devotion 2.Karma yoga-- By way of your actions 3. Gnana Yoga-- Bay way of knowledge 4. Raja Yoga -- By way of Meditation & turning your self inside
I.J MALHOTRA uncle I don't mind that too given Swami ji is giving a beautiful lucid lecture and most important part is I am able to understand them without much difficulty. This style of his suits us very well uncle. Ashram env is really something inviting and interesting but that way won't be UA-cam frnly without mike and video cams.
I think some people here have reminisced about their school/college days with fond memory. Those were the days when we were impressionable. So, they stand out in memory. Even the food we ate, however unhygienic, tasted so good! But, one has to grow and learn to learn. The fun is in learning the same thing in various ways; and, may I add that it is only then a concept becomes clearer.
God is called as "Existence Consiousness Bliss". God doesnt "exists", its the existence itself. Everything else (world) borrows existence from God. In that sense God created the world. Existence was always there, it is and will be there.
Swamiji, why are we asking Brahman to protect us in the prayer at the beginning when we know there's nothing which can harm the soul and we ourselves are the Brahman?
The prayer is being done by the limited Mind & Body that is not aware of the true nature of the Brahman. May be The word Protecting can/may also mean enhancing of souls progress

The example of the bucket of water and the reflected light versus the sun was spectacular .Thank you Swamiji for the great examples .
But: If the bucket is the body, the water is the mind and the reflected Sun in the water is the 'reflected consciousness'; what is the Ego ? It is described as a function of the Mind; therefore, it must be in the water.

Keep looking. You'll find a guru that gives you the experiential connection you are looking for.
As we believe that Almighty God is creator of this universe.who created Almighty God or how does He come into unseen existence according to Vedanta.
He Himself is infinite and complete and is , can not be produced by none other so no creator is required.
God is called as "Existence Consiousness Bliss". God doesnt "exists", its the existence itself. Everything else (world) borrows existence from God. In that sense God created the world. Existence was always there, it is and will be there.
