- "I am without attachment, without attachment am I, say this truth again and again, meditate upon this truth, I am of the nature of existence, knowledge and bliss absolute, I am without decay, change and death, I verily am!"
Inspired by this vedantic hymn, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the spiritual practice of detachment.

ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.
I cannot view this reverend master without my heart opening in the warmth of devotion and tears of gratitude flowing from my eyes for the clarity of teaching and purity of truth that is granted to us.
Blessed r you🙂
True that 🙏
Thanks again Swamiji! I am learning Sanskrit as I listen to your talks and want to learn more, so I got a set of Sanskrit flash cards. Namaste!
Steve Bernard I resonate with your sentiments entirely ... I feel the very same for Swami ji 🙏🙏
I more than agree with you sir! While some problems in life are difficult to handle, Swami-ji has helped me come to terms with them and view them from a different perspective.
SO I AM NOTHING BUT THE ULTIMATE REALITY!!! APART FROM MY BODY AND MIND TO PUT IT SIMPLY I AM NOTHING BUT THE MOVIE SCREEN!!!
After going through almost all the videos of Swamiji, and being a student of Advaita Vedanta for so long. I can say that this is one of the most important lectures Swamiji has ever delivered.
Absolutely! :)
Hey! you have just stolen my words😊...
Asang aham Asang aham punah punah, pranam maharaj
True Self is unattached to all objects of this universe including our body and mind.
Hence we can see our thoughts as objects arising in consciousness and disappearing into consciousness .We are not attached to it.
অভয়:- Fearlessness
অহিংসা:- Nonviolence
অসংঘ :- Nonattachment
আনন্দ:- Bliss

Thanks great
I know exactly what he is talking about. I had this I AM that I AM experience when I was 19 years old. I didn't know what "enlightenment" was then I didn't even know what Hinduism was or mysticism. What I did know was that the religion I was raised in was no longer working for me and I began to really search within. My "enlightenment" came by way of vigilant introspection and asking the right and high quality questions of myself. I want to say I was guided by wisdom herself, or God or the Holy Spirit because how could I have known what questions to ask to begin with?! But I did... and I walked around in an almost trance like state for about a week. The veil was lifted from my eyes and I saw God everywhere as everything. Exactly the way Vivekananda and many other describe. My experience did not last because I was ignorant about how to further maintain it and overtime I became part of the world again but I never forgot that time. Ever since, nothing was ever enough, nothing ever compared or came close. Not for 15 years but I am now finding my way there all over again, and I am excited to return home.
I too had this same experience. In the years since I have learned that by holding on and seeking such I only got farther away from the truth of what that experience was pointing to. States and experiences come and go. But there is nothing to grasp and no one to grasp it. I am is the unchanging witness. We are always already home.
Thank you for sharing. There are many like us who are lucky enough to experience this at least once in their lifetime. Let us practise saddhana until our minds are clear enough to be able to bask in the sunlight that we are all the time. Let us attain Jivanmukta in this life by the grace of Holy Trio! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Watch baap level sadguru
I had the same experience of gaining enlightenment and falling back into the world, it's more common than you think. Even Plotinus admitted he only experienced true bliss 2 or 3 times in his entire life. We rise and fall and repeat. We are always becoming. To claim total enlightenment is missing the mark. I know you'll back on the path as many others have.
Beautiful!
Thoughtless-awareness-meditation is what sustains it.
And will likley regain it for You too.
Be blessed by The Divine

He seems to have no ego. Never speaks of himself. This is my favorite video of his. The best.
Wonderful talk! 🙏🕉 And here is the poem Swamiji quoted:
He who binds to himself a joy,
Does the winged life destroy.
He who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity’s sunrise.
~William Blake (1757-1827)
You saved me a google search
@@abhishekshah11 happy to help 😊
Thank you!
Never was a talk so relevant to my life. I was so stressed out with college, exams, failure and life in general. The moment I saw this video, it talked directly to something deep within me and was in tears all the while of this video. It was so deep, it was so true, it was a direct experience of unattachement.
True, I understood this is root cause of all the sorrow we go.
👌👌 sprituality has become like my daily routine life now I understand how fool and ignorant I was ! I was seeking calmness and happiness in outside 25 years of my golden life wasted till god guided me to indian spirituality and dear swamijis I quit drug and alcohol gradually but the best years of me missed .why no school and university teaches sprituality to students? if only I knew myself in teenage years now why again school lessons are the same govs must include sprituality lessons to their schedules ? I think the biggest brands dont want humans consume less ! So they dont choose politicians who are their slave in the whole world the story is same😠
👌👌

Thanks a ton!
I love your teaching it makes it easy to practice in our life
Pranams to Revered Maharaj🙏🙏🙏
Such a powerful teaching. Imagine if every adolescent and teenager was taught this knowledge, and they really embodied it, regardless of their education or background, what a compassionate world would we find ourselves in.
This exact thought comes to my mind when I get to know more and more about Vedanta Philosophy.
The only solution to world peace.
Agreed.
अभय अहिंसा असंग आनंद
Correct
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a blessing to mankind today, even to anyone just merely heard of him let alone the showers of wisdom....
Swami is the untimely Divine incarnation of Swami Narada in this generation.
Blessed as We.
We have his divine Grace and company
Namaskaram my dearest Guru.
Apart from Shiva, I only regard You as my Guru
🙏🙏🙏

Profound and filled with ultimate truth, thanks swami ji

Wonderful... Explained with such clarity the fundamentals of Advaita Vedanta.. My salutations.
IMHO there is no other spiritual teacher living in this world today, that I know of, that could have explained the reality of our existence in such a profound and entertaining manner as Swami just did!
Totally agree with that ! :) :)
Agree
What about me?
Listen to this once in a while to remind me of unattached self.
Detachment is real freedom
Attachment bide us to samsara
I have no words to explain what I feel after hearing him every single time ,I wish I get chance to see him once in my life time 🙏🏻
Swamiji you have given my life to a totally different turn and now iam growing each day with the help of the wisdom which was available all the time but you explained it so beautifully that now everything is clearly visible .
Same with me.. श्री: हरि शरणम् 🙏🙏
Same here..we are indeed very lucky to hear him
Well said, knowledge was available but only due to Swamiji talk , it logically reaching to my heart and turning me to the right direction in this Sansara
Much gratitude for shining this light of wisdom with such grounded understanding🙏🌹 Vedanta continues to open my heart & mind to the infinite knowledge, which has been hidden in my culture. I remain steady on the path of love, meditation, service, and study. Peace💓
You have made my life! Please accept my gratitude at your feet.
Hi jaime.i would like to know you more.please share telegram or email id

Genius 🤩

Oh my Allah,, What am I watching.
I am discovering myself afresh....
Then who I am? Swami ji..
Same thing Sufism talks about. When you think about it everything is one ! Maulana Rumi says - I am the universe in ecstatic motion.
watch the mandukya upanishad by swami ji u will get your answer
Anal haq (Aham brahmasmi)
Read Ibn Arabi to get an Islamic perspective of the same doctrine. Fusus al hikam.
@@asamvav many saints and sages have preached this truth!
May we all hear listen and meditate on this Great Teaching that Swami Sarvapriyanada is selflessly channeling to us, a teaching so old that it beginning cannot be found and therefore its ending shall never be as long as there are suffering sentient beings. We are extremely blessed to be able to hear this teaching, it is the True Wish Fulfilling Jewel because it removes our ignorance desire hatred and attachment that are like veils hiding our True nature.
Om Peace Peace Peace!
🙏🙏🙏
It is quite remarkable that an Indian Vedanta monk would make us aware of so many gems found in the writings of our own Western thinkers and scientists that we may not have discovered otherwise. Much gratitude and reverence for such open-mindedness in a teacher coming from an Eastern background!
Bravo! This video moves to the top of my list of favorites from Swami Sarvapriyananda.
Who am I , IIT Kanpur is my best till now.. first time I saw this Swamiji ..and has been my most favorite till now..and that 2 parts... Best till now.
Each teaching is a gem
My mind was highly tensed.. I came through this video randomly.. And i am blessed that i came across such a great lecture by one of the greatest monks today... Shat Shat Pranaam Swami ji🙏🙏🙏🙏
What an honor it was to meet my guru! Many blessings to you Swamiji I cannot wait to see you again someday and thank you for all of your teachings 🙏🏻🕉🙏🏻
Even an intellectual understanding of this truth can make a big difference in our life. Pranams to Revered Maharaj again and again.
Yes true
A masterpiece of Swami sarvapriyananda....🙏🙏
"Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwara
Guru sakshat, param Brahma, tasmai shri guravay namah" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My salutations to you Swamiji.
প্রণাম গুরুজী। জীবনে অসঙ্গকে উপলব্ধি করতে পারলে জীবন চির সুন্দর হয়ে যায়। কত সুন্দর করে আপনি বোঝালেন। কোটি কোটি প্রণাম আপনাকে।
Thank you Swami ji for this wonderful teaching. I am so impressed by the depth of your understanding and your ability to communicate so precisely and clearly. I love your phrase 'spiritual bypass'. Well said. Incredible to realize that the I AM is not attached. Even attachment is only an appearance.
This is by far one of the best videos here on UA-cam! Thank you very much.
Swami ji, thank you for so eloquently explaining the secret to achieving peace of mind and how to deal with the ups and downs of life. Detachment is beginning to seem more and more appealing. Ever so grateful.
But we don't feel the way you have reasoned out.
Pranams to Revered Maharaj.🙏🙏🙏
What a profound talk. It doesn't get any clearer than this. Thank you Swamiji. Pranams 🌺 🌺 🌠 🕉 🕉 🙏 🙏
Brilliant talk ( as usual) from Samili.
True the real meaning of " upadhi"
What an amazing lecture and what an amazing man. Everyone should hear this. This is transformative. Thank you Swamiji for your eloquence and kindness
I couldn't agree more!
you have no idea what illogicity this chap is saying.
do think a bit before you go ga- ga over this swami.
keeping on repeating 'i am this that or fhe other "simply numbs the mind.
@@MohanKumar-eg9qi Cant teach Calculus to a fifth grader...need to come to high school at least
@@vjayaraman1 indeed!!.so why dont you grow up and become a clg student and stop repeating this swami like a UKG kid recites nursery rhymes.
@@MohanKumar-eg9qi I'm a calculus teacher...fyi
Thank you Swamiji... so much depth yet presented in such an accessible manner. 💜🙏
With this class I got the answer to my questions raised in past, i am terrified and bored of this dream, when will I wake up?
I am not asleep, my mind is! I am already awake. Doesnt matter if mind is asleep, I just don't have to let it transfer its qualities on me. Let it be asleep or terrified or bored! 😊🙏
Mananam
Niddhidhyasan 😊
हरिःऊँ,प्रणाम, स्वामीजी.
Masterpiece!!!
This is the panacea for all our sufferings!!
I have learned all from Acharya Sarvapriyananda…huge respect and gratitude to him 🙏🙏
Thank you Swami for this fabulous lecture, it really moved me. May we all reach our full spiritual potential.
I was told by a saint (in the real sense, as he is Very pure) to be and remain Asanga. But I hardly understood what he meant at the time. I have been reading Vedanta literature for some time, but listening is quite something else. As I was experimenting while listening to you, there were flashes in my mind that the fact is really quite simple. One has to only honestly see it. Pronam Maharaj. May Holy Mother bless you heàrtily. And Thank you.
This is a very clear talk. I am reverse to consciousness, the witness. And everything what comes after when you say I am, that is dealing with the body and the mind. It is a wonderful talk about unattachment of the witness. Thank you Swami Sarvapriyananda. ❤
The confusions of life unbelievably removed in a very simple way! A great teacher can only do this!I am really thankful to him! Now on I must practice the ' un- attachment' in every step forward in this life! I believe I can achieve that!
Pranam Swami Jee 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
27:33 to 27:39 - It has to be open to everything, allow everything to happen and then completely detach… extremely powerful. Thank You Swamiji
No matter how many times I listen this specific talks, I feel amazed. 🙏🙏🙏 Swamiji
Pranams to Swamiji. Eternally grateful to Sri Ramakrishna and His loving angels of the order......for sharing this eternal Truth. Feel so relieved and joyous.
Pronam Thakur Maa swamiji Maharaji
Undeniably, greatest lecture of Gurudev. So much clarity when he explains these vedantic vocabulary.
Your lectures show the depth of your knowledge Swamiji. Thank you for the perfect explanation
Revered Poojay Swami ji. Sadar pranam. Very clear explanation. Hari om.
Beyond the sum of all experience, the shining sun alone knows no shadow
Such a wonderful and inspiring teacher. Thank you Swami.

Pranam Swamiji. Eagerly waiting for this video. Missed the live streaming. Feeling blessed hearing you. 🙏🙏
Really, every one needs it. It's truth
Swamiji, Eternally indebted to you for sharing such soulful talks. Your pearls of wisdom are priceless treasures to commoners like me trying to navigate the samsara. Your service to the mankind to uplifting them to a higher meaningful realm is astounding.🙏🙏🙏
do try and listen to UG .may help you.
I always find Swamipriyanadas talks uplifting and inspirational. I have to come back to to this one, probably more than once, it must be one of the most profound I have ever heard. I feel very blessed to be able to hear his talks.
What a joy to listen to Swami Sarvapryananda! Another wonderful talk..Highest use of the internet, surely. 💝 💝💝
Captivating, lucid and imperative knowledge. As usual! S Maharaj is a rare gem. Wish I was there at RKMVD when he taught there..I was forty years too early!
I just finished watching this video talk by the beloved Swami. The wisdom, logic, beauty and life changing power of this non-dual Vedantic worldview just slays me. I am newly introduced to many of these ideas this year (2020). This talk in particular brought me such a clarity and a synthesis of the many concepts I’ve been learning about. It makes me think both, what a poverty it was to live so many years without ever grasping even a basic intellectual understanding of Advaita Vedanta, but at the same time to experience the joy of it now and embark on a spiritual journey that leads away from my ignorance; the poverty and the wealth are perfect.
So wonderful language can't express. Pranams to revered Maharaj again and again.
Swamiji pranam . I watch this video again and again especially when i pass through any crises . Your teachings help me in these difficult times . Thank you swami .
I am thankful to Swamiji for this beautiful philosophy which has changed my whole thought towards Spirituality , it was a soulful discovery which I will practice whole life, Asangoham 🙏
I understand the unattached awareness, I experienced this when I had to euthanise my beloved dog . It was the hardest thing for me to do and I have experienced loss before . I could detach and let go of him , for the love I have for him but my grief, my suffering is something I can’t detach from . My ego is the dhuryodhan and my awareness is Arjuna . I need both . I’m just glad I got to love in this life . Let’s see if I understand the rest of the concept ... I’m glad I found you swami sarvapriyanand in this journey .
Easily one of his best talks. Pranam Swamiji
glory to prabuddha mahabharat 🇮🇳 ❤🎉
Very enlightening lecture on Vedanta!
This talk is one of the greatest talks I have heard from swami ji. Thanks!
Swami! the way YOU explain is always quite amazing, simple, straightforward and full of aliveness.
Gratitude & Pranams
thanks swami sarvapriyananda ji-- we are really blessed - no words are fit enough to describe you- pranams
SWAMIJI, how beautifully you have explained the consciousness ( eternal witness or SAT CHIT AANANDA) like a movie screen which is not attached to the movie, Sun light that illuminates everything that comes in it’s way but does not get attached or affected, glass of clear colourless water looks like orange juice which just behind it . Wow!!!! Amazing way of narration. I am forever indebted to give this most valuable knowledge to myself and the entire humanity
I am truly blessed to listen to Swamiji's talk, a complex subject he makes it look like so simple!
Excellent!!!
Wonderful!!
Thanks and pranam Swamiji !!!!!

Hari ॐ। I have never watched any video 'other than this' till date without fast forwarding.
This video is about the ROYAL SECRET revealed in Upanishads and Geeta. This video is about the Knowledge after knowing which there remains nothing to be known. This is the core of the eternal knowledge propounded in Hinduism. That's why the Hinduism is known as Sanatana - the Eternal. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat. 🇮🇳
Thanks so much for your teachings and practices 🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻
I am sooo happy to be grateful to swami Sarvapriyananda
