Dear Nancy, Thank you for your insightful comment and for watching the video. You've touched upon a profound truth - our fundamental nature, Pure Consciousness, is indeed always already awakened and enlightened. This is the essence of self-realization, the recognition that our true self is not the limited, conditioned mind, but the boundless awareness in which all experiences arise and subside. It's not something we need to achieve or acquire, but rather something we need to uncover and recognize. The spiritual path, then, is a journey of remembering, of coming back home to this innate enlightenment. Your words beautifully encapsulate this non-dual understanding. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for being a part of this community of seekers. Namaste.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a great pleasure and honor to share these teachings with you. Let us continue to explore the path to full empathy and harmony together.
Is the enlightenment mentioned by you in the video the same as Self-realisation or Brahma Jnana mentioned in the scriptures of India? If so, are you a Self-realised person or Brahma Jnani?
In the context of Advaita Vedanta and other non-dual spiritual traditions, enlightenment, self-realization, and Brahma Jnana are often used interchangeably to describe the direct experiential understanding of one's true nature as pure consciousness, beyond the limitations of the body, mind, and ego. However, it's important to note that enlightenment is not something mystical or supernatural, but rather a state of clear understanding and direct insight into the nature of reality. It is the recognition of the non-dual nature of existence, where the separation between the individual self and the ultimate reality is seen through as an illusion. Enlightenment is not a special experience or a mystical state, but rather a shift in perspective, a deep understanding that one's true nature is the eternal, unchanging consciousness that underlies all experiences. This understanding is not intellectual but experiential, and it brings with it a profound sense of peace, freedom, and wholeness. Regarding the question of whether the speaker in the video is a self-realized person or Brahma Jnani, it's important to approach such claims with caution. True self-realization is a deeply personal and intimate matter, and it is not something that can be easily assessed or verified by others. That said, if I say I am, it would be my ego. Our true state is enlightened. We don't need to do anything to be enlightened except to recognize our true nature. Moreover, those who have genuinely realized their true nature often do not feel the need to proclaim their attainment, as the very notion of individual achievement is seen through as part of the illusion of the ego. They may share their understanding and insights to help guide others, but they do so without attachment to any particular identity or status. Ultimately, the path to enlightenment is a personal journey of self-discovery and self-inquiry. While the guidance and teachings of those who have walked the path can be invaluable, it is up to each individual to directly investigate the nature of their own experience and to realize the truth of their being for themselves.
@@NonDual123There are many videos in the UA-cam by persons claiming that they are enlightened. When questioned closely they will say that they are only enlightened and not Self_realised. Thus they create separate meaning for the two terms. This is the reason behind my comment to which you have already replied. Thank you for your explanation.
Thanks for your input. As a Greek guy, I am flattered when people from India take interest in my videos. I have deep respect for Indian culture and spiritual beliefs. Thanks!
There is no life on earth that is not enlightened by his simple way of being but this tones of storyes about enlightement make us far away from enlightement.
Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking comment. The point being made is an insightful one - that the abundance of stories and teachings about enlightenment can actually distract us from the direct experience of enlightenment itself.

Jesus said: you are gods. Ok, not God, God, but the realization of self, consciousness is connected with God. Jesus said that No one has ever realized God. You can only realize yourself that is connected with God. Your spirit, consciousness only can be realized.
@@NonDual123 He said what? So, what about the Indian mystics who have met what we might call God, such as Ishwara, or are you not familiar with that tradition enough to know?
Dear @ddaavvee68, Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your thoughts on the message and the voice. Your point about the artificial voice is well-taken - the medium can indeed impact how a message is received. I'll consider this for future videos. The content on enlightenment being accessible rather than mystical is the key focus, and I'm glad that resonated with you despite the voice issue. Your input helps improve future content.
Awareness.... Pure Consciousness is already awakened/enlightened. This is the self-realization. Many thanks! Namaste

need more knowledge
is this neo advaita ?
No, just Non-duality.

Yeah? But what about God realization?

great message, but the artificial voice detracts from it and makes it much less powerful.
