🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 16:
नासतो विद्यते भावो नाभावो विद्यते सत: |
उभयोरपि दृष्टोऽन्तस्त्वनयोस्तत्त्वदर्शिभि: || 16||
nāsato vidyate bhāvo nābhāvo vidyate sataḥ
ubhayorapi dṛiṣhṭo ’nta stvanayos tattva-darśhibhiḥ
🪔The unreal comes not into being, the real never lapses into non-being. The truth about both these has been perceived by the seers of Reality.

In Autobiography of a Yogi, Swami Yogananda has described in detail about eternal reality, and experience of self realisation in chapter 14. He described his experience of expansion beyond body and mind, unity with everything else, a divine light permeating everywhere, an absolute bliss and an absence of time.

How can the Truth exist with falsehood or appearance? Good question 😂😂😂The is-ness or pure consciousness is so obvious that people cannot comprehend it....... it took me to much delving into reality until it suddenly flashed....the beauty part of it is that once it flashes it wont go away. It becomes so obvious that feels u wont need to read anything anymore. Thanks to sarvapriyananda and his professional and profoundly talents❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This class gives the feels of 'i think, therefore I am'. Only, the second part is where the difference lies. I think, therefore it is...sounds more aligned to what Sri shankaracharya is trying to teach....interesting. At another level, I think also gets broken down as, thinking is...but not without "I".....I am, therefore I think....??!!!!

[@knowthetruth311]

My brother, sarvapriyananda is one of the Gurus that keep perpetuating previously discussed points for us to grasp. He uses everyday examples, and more importantly he is too deep. I guess your challenge is that you haven't been with similar teachings for a while and secondly, you trying too hard to become instead of creating in being (in that what you already is)

[@foodpostive1401]

Start with the introductory class of Vedanta. Understand what is Vedanta, It consists of Upanishads, Gita, and Brahma sutras. Read all or none. The simple takeaway will be everyone is a atman and not just a body or mind and that self or atman is none other than the Brahman itself. Or in short only Brahman or god is there in everything. We don't know this because we limit ourselves to be a body and mind. All reading, reciting, doing karma, meditating, and all 4 paths make us realize the simple truth that there are no two. It's only one and it's Brahman. you can realize once you understand Vedanta or by doing any of 4 yogas. The best is to follow all 4 yoga. knowledge or gyan yoga is the shortcut of all. Read mandukya Upanishad or asta vakra Gita or yoga Vasistha or Shankara shahitya, shankara also composed just one shloka and it sums the whole of Brahma gyan in one shloka. You can find all above knowledge simplified and examplined by sravya priyanada in this channel. Read all or none the truth is there is no two. Advaitam is everyone's last resort. Om🙏
