"Atma Bodha - Day 05 / 08" Talk in English by Swami Aparajitananda, Chinmaya Mission Mangaluru.

Hari Om!
Swāmī Aparājitānanda jī explains wonderfully why we cannot know God, but can only become God.
Nature of Consciousness is that it is knowledge and light itself and once we realise the Self, nothing more remains to be seen or known. But jīva is a poor reflection of Consciousness. So we see and feel the finite and fearful ego. This avidya leads to the birth-death cycle.
Consciousness can be known by the neti-neti method. By discarding unreal objects (Nitya-anitya viveka) and going to the perfect Subject by negating the wanderings of the mind, the Truth of the Mahāvākyas can be realised.
The definitions of jīva and Īshvara are explained beautifully. Listening to the talk is itself like a guided meditation - something to be internalised, not just heard and definitely not to be missed!
(Ātmabodha - verses 26 to 30)

HariOm Swamiji 🙏🙏 Thankyou so much for your very inspiring parvchan

[@kmpsingh7452]

I salute your clarity in exposing the truth. With my limited understanding, I think repeated listening to Tatwabodha and Atmabodha and contemplation over it will surely instil a reasonably good understanding and awareness about the basic question of Spirituality, ie;Who am I?

[@murugan.g.2856]

Namaskaram Swamiji . Understanding Advaita philosophy is made simple.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kevinruesch2864]

Its also very higher that we areprojecting our own ignorance of not knowing Self onto Bagavhan we are slower realizing that but he never became this jiva

[@kevinruesch2864]

Many know the impermanence that its why they join religions for the promise of a eternal perfect life. Afterlife like the Egyptian or what biblical prophets offer still not knowing Self although Christ said know thyself .we are exporting all oyr happiness and resources into the afterlife heaven
