"To assert anything, you require consciousness." - Swami Sarvapriyananda So simple, yet so profound. And this whole lecture, with the questions and answers, has been incredibly satisfying to listen to. I'm definitely going to listen to it again and again.
Pranam Swamiji- Thank you very much for continuing the Aparoksganubhuti class. I was eagerly waitining for the same. I am repeatedly all the last twenty lectures regularly. Once again thanks for your grace and blessings.
Brilliant! Any scientific discovery about the brain and consciousness is IN consciousness. Anything I assert or deny can only be asserted or denied in and by consciousness.
Swamiji your talks takes one to a different thought process. Please keep posting the videos. I always follow your talks and I always look forward to hear from you. Thank you so much for guiding us.
Very good! After Swami's sggestion, I compare dream & waking nature immediately after waking up from a dream during sleep. This helps me to come out of my conditioned mind & experience that wake up nature too is a long dream. I do meditation 2 hrs a day more than 10 yrs.
Namaste !! "Nothingness is not possible because there has to be something to testify to the nothingness"!!!! Amazing!! cant touch this diamond hard logic.
I was waiting so long for this series to continue. Thank God! It's finally here. My weekend's made! :) Please don't stop this series. Continue it till the last verse. Also the remaining chapters of Panchadashi. Please.
Swamiji i accept the concept that i am the conciousness, i am the brahman, where do we go from there. I am interested in the lectures on what we do with the knowledge.
त्रयमेवं भवेन्मिथ्या गुणत्रयविनिर्मितम्। अस्य द्रष्टा गुणातीतो नित्यो ह्येकश्चिदात्मकः।।58।। Trayamevaṃ bhavenmithyā guṇatrayavinirmitam. Asya draṣṭā guṇātīto nityo hyekaścidātmakaḥ..58.. 58. Thus all the three states are unreal inasmuch as they are the creation of the three Gunas; but their witness (the reality behind them) is, beyond all Gunas, eternal, one, and is Consciousness itself.
We have conditioned our minds and those conditions are carried through for millions of years.. thats why it is appearing to be difficult to get out of these conditionings..
i have a problem with deep sleep. i am not aware of blankness, only later am i aware of time having past. if i didnt have time, there would be no difference
the indisputable stamp of reality to the waking state is that we return to the same objects such as children, relatives, friends, and house every time we awake, whereas we do not see the same objects in the successive dream states. In reply Vedānta de- clares that the dream state is a waking state for the dreamer, as has al- ready been pointed out, and one knows a state to be a waking state only when there is the feeling that the objects seen are real and, as such, remain the same in all waking states. This feeling must be present even while a person is dreaming; otherwise he cannot regard the dream as a waking state and the objects seen in it as real. Whether we actually return to the same objects in every waking state is a matter for investigation confined to the waking state. But the fact remains that we have the feeling that real objects are unchanging and that all waking states have the characteristic of present- ing real or unchanging objects.
LEC 21: 58: The entire universe appears where it is not. It is not a world that we’re experiencing - it is consciousness. Working through the 5 sheaths we realize that we are none of it - this is the first step towards disqualification. Pot example: if you’re attached to the identity of a pot. Clay is present when the pot wasn’t there, when it was and when it will be destroyed. Where can you find the clay? The pot is the clay - the clay is the material cause of the pot. Now, if you look at the clay, the pot doesn’t even exist, it just is a manifestation with a particular name, form and use. Sattva is connected to knowledge and is therefore related to the waking world. What would witness to the disappearance of consciousness? To admit to anything, there must be consciousness and if it is gone, what is testify at that point? To assert anything, consciousness is needed. It is what tells you about the presence and base ce of anything. You also experience your body within your consciousness. Seeming to be individual and separate is due to attachment to body-mind complex. 59: Clay Pot Example Silver and Naker Example Even if body and mind changes, the I would still remain and be present. The attachment to the complex 60: Diamond Merchant example: The diamond merchant will point out what you always had. “If you only knew yourself as you truly are”. Stephen Hawking example and donkey tying examples are cited.
Swamiji ,then why is it that the feeling of conciousness is only in the head and not in the other parts of body like hands, legs,chest etc...even if one does not identifies oneself with the mind or the body???
Maharaj pranam... If science succeed to replace person A's brain to person B's damaged brain. What the person B now ( The person A and B is not in enlighten ) from the point of Vedanta. Does B identify him as A. Pranam.
Because modern science has been firmly established as true (not necessarily the metaphysical opinions of modern scientists...not scientism, but science). Any spirituality that contradicts science (which means KNOWLEDGE...of nature) doesn't rest on a stable foundation. For the clear-thinking person, there will be an uncomfortable cognitive dissonance between anti-scientific religious beliefs and science to the point where an unsustainable tension between the two will arise. With Vedanta, you can have both without contradiction. Just don't confuse science with scientism. One is the study, experimentation, and consequent knowledge of nature, while scientism is metaphysical assumptions tacked onto the science. Every known fact of science is known only in consciousness. Every idea about absence of consciousness before intelligent life arose on Earth (our precious, fragile, unbelievably beautiful, but suffering home in this life) is entertained only in consciousness. Einstein's E = MC squared is an equation appearing only in consciousness. Anyway, sorry for rambling.
Ramya : it was a story about how a certain bhagavatam pundit( Who later became a revered monk/swami) had met Bhikshu Shankarananda ( a famous penniless wandering bairagi/Sadhu of india ) and how the pundit so recited Bhagavatam to him that it brought tears in the eyes of the staunch non-dualist Bhikshu Shankarananda. And how in a reciprocal gesture , Bhikshu Shankarananda freed him from his identification with the limited Jivatman by uttering the Advaita mahavakya in his ear .
If only Bhraman is real and others things false or just maya. Then what is 'You' in 'you are bhraman'. If we all are that brahman then why not other living beings are not Bhrahman?
Swamiji, I think my rest of life will go in listening you only, pranam.
it felt like i have found the oasis after wandering in a desert for a long time!

58. Thus all the three states are unreal inasmuch as they are the creation of the three Gunas; but their witness (the reality behind them) is, beyond all Gunas, eternal, one, and is Consciousness itself.
After a very long wait..... Part 21
thank you so much swamiji.
pranams gurudev
We have conditioned our minds and those conditions are carried through for millions of years.. thats why it is appearing to be difficult to get out of these conditionings..
Fantastic!
Please upload 1 - 20
Hi Samrat, I found the first 20 here: ua-cam.com/video/3MRa2lR9MUg/v-deo.html
How you feel about all this a.i talk about computers surpassing human intelligence and having its own sense of awareness?
It will be artificial awareness ( intelligence) in real awareness. The real awareness will always remain as substance of this universe.
It would really be very helpful if someone could please tell where can we find the 10 Arguments given by swami Nikhilananda?
In the 1 - 20 lectures
In his books, not in this lectures.
i have a problem with deep sleep. i am not aware of blankness, only later am i aware of time having past. if i didnt have time, there would be no difference
If consciouness is fundamental in Advaita Vedanta, does it mean Advaita is Objective Idealism?
No
❤Why from 3.15 lac views only less than 100 0 liked this 💞 video.Probably they know more 😢
Is meditation considered as a form of sublation establishing the difference between the real and unreal in experience?
Can someone please guide me to where the first 20 lectures are ?

Swamiji ,then why is it that the feeling of conciousness is only in the head and not in the other parts of body like hands, legs,chest etc...even if one does not identifies oneself with the mind or the body???
Dear sir,
If someone were to take a sharp needle and prick you in the hands, legs, chest, etc., would you feel it?
the waking worl is stabile because is projected direct by brahman - maya...dream world is projected by jiva - minde :)
Maharaj pranam... If science succeed to replace person A's brain to person B's damaged brain. What the person B now ( The person A and B is not in enlighten ) from the point of Vedanta. Does B identify him as A.
Pranam.
I love these lectures. But I don't get why there is this constant need to relate to modern scientific view.
Because modern science has been firmly established as true (not necessarily the metaphysical opinions of modern scientists...not scientism, but science). Any spirituality that contradicts science (which means KNOWLEDGE...of nature) doesn't rest on a stable foundation. For the clear-thinking person, there will be an uncomfortable cognitive dissonance between anti-scientific religious beliefs and science to the point where an unsustainable tension between the two will arise.

Every idea about absence of consciousness before intelligent life arose on Earth (our precious, fragile, unbelievably beautiful, but suffering home in this life) is entertained only in consciousness. Einstein's E = MC squared is an equation appearing only in consciousness.
Anyway, sorry for rambling.
thank you
"does consciousness require a body" LOL somebody just woke up after going to sleep on the first verse.
Oh no, I want to know that little story at the end :/
Ramya : it was a story about how a certain bhagavatam pundit( Who later became a revered monk/swami) had met Bhikshu Shankarananda ( a famous penniless wandering bairagi/Sadhu of india ) and how the pundit so recited Bhagavatam to him that it brought tears in the eyes of the staunch non-dualist Bhikshu Shankarananda.

Sadhikaa NY thanks so much, ಸಾದಿಕ್ 🙏😊
