Namaste Swami Tadatmananda. This class is a rare and precious gem! Your sincere interest in guiding all of us successfully to full moksha is seen here as you clearly explain how to practice Nididhyasana. Thank you from the depths of my being.
Swamiji, Namaste! Thank you for your perky satsang and great mood! Through your smile and laughter deep Vedantic knowledge is filled with the light and love of the Atman. Nididhyasana is a rather difficult term to comprehend, for a better understanding of it I quote the words of the merciful, compassionate and conquering the darkness of ignorance with the truth, Sri Ramana Maharshi: That refers to nididhyasana. By sravana, Knowledge dawns. That is the flame. By manana, the Knowledge is not allowed to vanish. Just as the flame is protected by a wind-screen, so the other thoughts are not allowed to overwhelm the right knowledge. By nididhyasana, the flame is kept up to burn bright by trimming the wick. Whenever other thoughts arise, the mind is turned inward to the light of true knowledge. When this becomes natural, it is samadhi. The enquiry “Who am I?” is the sravana. The ascertainment of the true import of ‘I’ is the manana. The practical application on each occasion is nididhyasana. Being as ‘I’ is samadhi. The sadhak must remain as the Self [Atman]. If he cannot do so, he must ascertain the true meaning of the ‘I’ and constantly revert to it whenever other thoughts arise. That is the practice. Some say that one must know the ‘tat’ because the idea of the world constantly arises to deflect the mind. If the Reality behind it is first ascertained it will be found to be Brahman. The ‘tvam’ is understood later. It is the jiva. Finally there will be jivabrahmaikya (union of the two). But why all this? Can the world exist apart from the Self? The ‘I’ is always Brahman. Its identity need not be established by logic and practice. It is enough that one realises the Self. It is always the Brahman. OM TAT SAT ओम् तत् सत्
this playlist is insane. Swarmi you present your wisdom with such ease... and sooo memorable and clear! thank you so much! this episode was great again!!!
Thank you, Swamiji, for another insightful discourse. I am especially grateful for your exposition of nididhyasana in the context of verse 35 (21:00-26:08). Also instructive was your exhortation for daily meditation (54:00-56:00).
Thank you Swamiji for today's class. Your way of explaining is such that you keep on talking about the topic till it is instilled in our mind (just as in verse 37 you explained a new groove can be made with constant repetition). I am meditating daily ,even though that small moment of silence has still not come but your talk has given me hope that eventually it will come. Swamiji these days I am hearing the podcasts of your Bhagwat Gita and they too are giving me so much peace.
Pranam Swamiji 🙏. I was eagerly awaiting this 16th lecture. Just finished watching from Kolkata, India. A deep & fulfilling discourse indeed. Specially the few moments of silence during Nididhayasana - focussing on these to form a new habit, a new indentification namely I am Brahman only and not the body, mind, sensation... Best regards.
Regarding the assertion of the useful vasana "I am Brahman" in the mind, I tell you how Ramana Maharshi ironic that in order to know your true nature you need to repeat this mantra "I am Brahman". He said if you know that you are a human, you do not go and say all day long: "I am a human, I am a human," because it is obvious to you. So it is with this great wisdom "I am Brahman". As blood and flesh are the essence of our physical body, so the Knowledge "I am Brahman" should become the essence of our being. When this essence is self-evident, then there is no need even for Brahman, since the Ultimate is useless for the Ultimate. OM TAT SAT ओम् तत् सत्
Self- knowledge is a complex process. When people approach the subject they don’t realise how difficult and demanding it is - exploring the multitude of levels on which the psyche functions, the lifetime of influences that have taken up residence in there and exercise control over your every move - your dreams, your desires, your fears, your likes, dislikes, all the myriad items that make up your character as a sinner. And you can only begin to deal with this when you have learned how psychology works. How the experiences of your life become memories which create your desires and inhibitions. But it’s got to be done. It’s the only path available to anyone wanting to avoid death. Yoga, the pilgrimage for life, available to all. The only hope
Aatmiya Swami Ji. Jay Thakur. Hare Krsna. Examples of taking lifelong medications for cholesterol and insulin management are really most vital and ideal. Meditating for life time "AHAM BRAHMASMI" Highest level VAASANAA may/can assist in forgetting 'Aham Sharira/Manas/Indriya/Ahankaar, lower level Vaasanaa. Attaining Silent Mind is essential while Meditating. Sravana is providing knowledge.........................Manan is assisting in deepening knowledge gained and clarify doubts Meditation is helping in building new HABIT, Aham BRAHMASMI. Enjoying. Loving you one and my fellow learning colleagues Now and HERE in this Light and Moment.
Pranam Swamiji, Thank you for taking time to explain on weekly basis what we need to grow spiritually. You emphasis on experiencing silence in the meditative state followed by contemplation of "I am Brahman" was very enlightening. I never realized that these two activities have to be sequential; one is experience only and other is contemplation on the experience.
Aatmiya *DIVINITY* HARE KRSNA Enjoying understanding and practicing benifici valuables in "Niridhyasan". Swamiji, Sravan, Manan, JAPAM is the process is JAPAM is Niridhyasa? Very respectfully Loving ❤️ ING You One and All *DIVINE* fellow learners NOW and HERE in this Light and Moment Experiencing HAPPINESS and Freedom from pain fear anger 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Pranam Swamiji.. I have had several occasions to listen to Swami Dayanandji during my visit to Parmarth Niketan at Rishikesh, ashram of swamy Chidanand Sarswati., where he gave discourses during international yoga festival. It was truly capturing when you feel deeply connected to your innerself. I grew up in an environment of spirituality and philosophy. In a young age, I was taught SHRAVANA, MANNAN, and CHINTAN..I presume that the phrase that you use NIDHIDHYASAN is same as Chintan.. I see the meaning conveyed is the same. Pl, clarify. Your lectures on Atma Bodha are really captivating and I always look forward to the next lecture. Thanking you, Mirisch Damani, Boston.
Swami ji I want to know the difference between samaadhi and deep sleep, if consciousness is forever luminous then what is that which makes samadhi different from deep sleep?
dubey ashish, namaste! I will try to answer your question through the wisdom of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Am I nearer to myself in my sleep than in my waking state? For the Self is Pure Consciousness. No one can ever be away from the Self. The question is possible only if there is duality. But there is no duality in the state of Pure Consciousness. The same person sleeps, dreams and wakes up. Because you identify yourself with the body, you see the world around you and say that the waking state is filled with beautiful and interesting things. The sleep state appears dull because you were not there as an individual and therefore these things were not. But what is the fact? There is the continuity of Being in all the three states, but no continuity of the individual and the objects. The sleep state is free from thoughts and their impression to the individual. It cannot be altered by one’s will because effort is impossible in that condition. Although nearer to Pure Consciousness, it is not fit for efforts to realise the Self. Samadhi means passing beyond dehatma buddhi (I-am-the-body idea) and non-identification of the body with the Self is a foregone conclusion. Merging in the Inmost Being which is the One Reality giving rise to all thoughts, etc., and remaining unaware of anything else. Practice lies in one of the two courses: devotion or knowledge. Even these are not the goals. Samadhi must be gained; it must be continuously practised until sahaja samadhi results. Then there remains nothing more to do. From myself: from the point of view of a living person, deep sleep is one of the three states of being that happens to everyone every night and is accompanied by the cessation of mental activity, giving rest and renewal of strength, and is a purely bodily experience, samadhi is going beyond the apparatus (body-mind) into Reality, through deep one-pointed spiritual practice, tireless meditation on the Atman, and it happens by the highest Grace. From the perfect position of the Supreme Reality, there have never been three states, including deep sleep, but there is only the One Reality, whole, unchanging, complete, which does not know division in itself, it is given different names Parabrahman, Paramatman, Samadhi, Turia, Self-realization, Jnana...
@@ustinovvadim2114 Namaste, First of all I want to thank you for giving me reply. May be due to my utter ignorance this is still not grasped by me completely. Let me explain what I have grasped from understanding of advait and my own meditation experiences.. So basically there is only one underlying reality which we call true self (neither individual sense nor any other mind-body sensation, soul only lighten every sensation, even lighten the individual sensation which is feeling of i-ness) (So basically we can call it just knowing- without any claiming of I-ness). This true self without any doubt remains in all three states waking, dream and sleep bcoz in all we are knowing something- waking: body- mind sensations, dream: mind created sensations and in deep sleep bcoz no other body-mind sensations remains so only consciousness remains? Please Correct me if my conclusion about deep sleep is wrong and there anything else except consciousness also remains. Now if I am right and only consciousness remains in deep sleep(which is obviously universal not related to individual) then what is extra exists in the samadhi which makes samadhi different from deep sleep? As you explained above that deep sleep is just a bodily experience but as we already know that there is no mind-body sensations remains in deep sleep, So how can that be a purely bodily experience? I mean to say that if there is no mind-body objects remains in deep sleep except only consciousness then what makes deep sleep a bodily experience as you describe. Please remove my ignorance and put some light of wisdom, so my doubts can remove. Once again thanks a lot.
@@dubeyashish4257, namaste! Thank you for your kind attitude! You understand everything correctly. If we delve a little into the subject of discussion, then the Highest Reality is nirguna Brahman, the Absolute, which is not even aware of itself, since there is no second. As a person, you are aware of your bodily experience, the world and other living beings. Why do you aware? Because pure consciousness has been manifested through your body-mind form. Atman is the one Reality that gives life to all name-forms. IT can be compared with a screen in a movie theater, and you, a person with a name and a form, with a movie viewer, you see various exciting films, including three states that come to you as a person, and do not affect the screen in any way. When a deep sleep happens to your body-mind form, the movie projector (mind) turns off, you rest, and in the morning you say how well I slept and rested, you say this, a person, not Atman, because this state happened with the mechanism body-mind, although neither body nor mind is experienced in this state. In the morning, the projector turns on and you, human, start watching your favorite TV series "Life". All three states replace each other, and therefore they are unreal. In all three states, the screen-Atman, through which the movie of life spins, is ignored. Samadhi is when one screen-Atman remains, and the buzz of being dies down, there is not even an echo of the film, states, feelings ... Seers of the rarely seen Truth say, “Brahma-Vidya, which is worthwhile for the aspirant to learn, is to see [the truth of] the seer who sees the world, instead of seeing the world which is seen”. Brahma-Vidya is nothing other than seeing That which remains when all these three - the miragelike world, the seer of that world, and the bright eye’s seeing - are burnt without a trace.
@@ustinovvadim2114 Thanks a lot for such a detail explanation. Please correct me if my conclusions are wrong. So if I am not wrong, in deep sleep even though all body-mind sensation ceases still a layer of ignorance remains on screen(we can consider that as film of only black color in above example and screen(self) remains aware about that black colored film(ignorance layer). In samadhi even that black color film also shut down and remains only the screen which aware about only itself. Thanks a lot, you really have deep insights. Really glad to talk with you. Now you raised my curiosity even more then when we get that nirgun brahman state(in which we are not aware about ourself also) Is that happens in samaadhi? I have heard that in samadhi one person remains aware about itself, so samadhi is not the state of nirgun brahman, am I right?
How nicely explained How to create a new channel Thanks from d core of my heart Ur all lessons are full of spiritual knowledge n explained selflessly so it directly touches d heart n so cas transform our life.
May Swami Dayananda rest in peace. I love his explanation that "isness" is Brahman. So to get a new vasana, you have to divert yourself from the old habit and replace it...oh, man, that sounds like WORK! 😐 If only reality was easier to see. 😊 At the age of 37, i was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. A year and a half later, the diagnosis was changed to type 1. I have to use insulin for the rest of my life; it keeps me alive but, trust me, I don't have days that are as good as they used to be before I got sick. In this case, constant practice is not pleasurable. Necessary, but no fun. It doesn't feel good.
Instead of being just itself consciousness strayed by assuming a mind posture and ended up 'living' an experiential distortion as a finite self wrapped around by illusions.
Pranam, Shivaji from India. Swami ji you are enlightening me with every sentence you speak. I feel Shankar himself illustrating his verses. Koti koti pranam.
Namaste Swami Tadatmananda. This class is a rare and precious gem! Your sincere interest in guiding all of us successfully to full moksha is seen here as you clearly explain how to practice Nididhyasana. Thank you from the depths of my being.

deep Vedantic knowledge is filled with the light and love of the Atman.
Nididhyasana is a rather difficult term to comprehend, for a better understanding of it I quote
the words of the merciful, compassionate and conquering the darkness of ignorance with the truth, Sri Ramana Maharshi:
That refers to nididhyasana. By sravana, Knowledge dawns. That is the flame.
By manana, the Knowledge is not allowed to vanish. Just as the
flame is protected by a wind-screen,
so the other thoughts are not allowed to overwhelm the right knowledge. By nididhyasana,
the flame is kept up to burn bright by trimming the wick. Whenever other thoughts arise,
the mind is turned inward to the light of true knowledge.
When this becomes natural, it is samadhi. The enquiry “Who
am I?” is the sravana.
The ascertainment of the true import of ‘I’ is the manana.
The practical application on each occasion is nididhyasana. Being as ‘I’ is samadhi.
The sadhak must remain as the Self [Atman]. If he cannot do so, he must ascertain
the true meaning of the ‘I’ and constantly revert to it whenever other thoughts arise.
That is the practice.
Some say that one must know the ‘tat’ because the idea of the
world constantly arises
to deflect the mind. If the Reality behind it is first ascertained it will be found to be Brahman.
The ‘tvam’ is understood later. It is the jiva. Finally there will be jivabrahmaikya (union of the two).
But why all this? Can the world exist apart from the Self? The ‘I’ is always
Brahman.
Its identity need not be established by logic and practice. It is enough that one realises the Self.
It is always the Brahman.

Swami, please explain this issue for me, what is difference between conscious, consciousness and conscience ?
And which one applies / means Brahman?
Consciousness that is all pervading.
