Swami Ji well said but I have some comments. I am a Buddhist First of all. Buddhist doesn’t accept just Desire is cause of all the suffering because Karuna and Buddhi mind are also Desire. Buddhist does accept Ignorance is Cause of suffering which could manifest into three way Attachment, Anger, not knowing.
An Atman doesn’t mean= I doesn’t exist. an Atman mean = I doesn’t existed as we view That’s why Buddha taught first thing in eight fold path Right View. right view of I is = I is just existed as dependent not independently
That’s why Buddha taught Pra ti ta Samupath

[@rpodury]

For those who are are serious and sincere this lecture is sufficient to have a direct recognition of that 'I'. Swamiji is personification of Upanishadic thought

Swamijir ai mulyban speech Jodi Bengali te sunte petam dhonyo hotam🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@pramilasrinivasansrinivasa3557]

We are being conditioned by our family, society from the beginning of our birth with this "I" Thought
You are, " This name ".... React to it... When we say it
Then all continues from this point...
If we are fortunate enough to get the GRACE 🙏ww could find out there is no real " I "!.
God shows us all the time the truth but we refuse to see it🙏

[@dibyajyotinandy1383]

Great lecture swamiji

[@thupten5520]

Not much audible.

[@ravivaradhan4956]

Shunya cannot be translated as zero. It is not nothing, neither is it something. Purna also should not be translated as infinity. It is The Absolute Infinity, not just any infinity. If one is interested in understanding the difference between various orders of infinity, one should read the fascinating book by the mathematician Rudy Rucker on "Infinity and the Mind."

[@Dhan13Tej]

Amazing logic behind "Aham Brahmasmi" , at least, I need lot of thinking to understand more, but thought process is logical.
I (Comprising of ID/IW/IS) --> exists at all states & time --> Super I/Big I is beyond Space & Time --> Eternal --> Infinite --> 1 --> You
Only Qn I have is in this process is (definitely I'm missing something, would be glad to know, please help me understand),
I (Comprising of ID/IW/IS) --> exists at all states & time.
we don't know what happens after death, so how can we say that Big I/Super I exists beyond space & time ?

[@Yogis_BitterTruth_Nirvan]

you have to shift your identity from your limited temporary body to the infinite absence before your birth and after your death. so obviously that infinite absence after your death will still remain as your original identity from which your current identity this body mind ego came. so your true nature that ocean is beyond space and time. this temporary ego/drop will become zero/shunya when the drop dissolves back in the ocean and gains its original identity the source of this reality was always purna/complete even when your current identity didn't exist so that ocean is your true identity not this. so you are already eternal infinite that source of existence.
maybe this is the right prespective.

[@Dhan13Tej]

Yes, thank you, sounds logical !!
