00:00 Two peace chants with meaning 1:16 Shareeram me vicharshanam Jihwaa me madhumattamaa Karnaabhyaam bhoori vishruvam 2:15 Rishi Rishanku Says yas chandasaam rishabho vishwa roopah Chhandobhyodhyamritaat sambabhoova Sa mendro medhayaa sprinotu Amritasya devadhaarano bhooyaasam Shareeram me vicharshanam Jihwaa me madhumattamaa Karnaabhyaam bhoori vishruvam Brahmanah Koshoasi medhayaapihitah Shrutam me gopaaya Om shantih shantih shantih! May He, the Lord of all, pre-eminent among the Vedas and superior to the nectar contained in them, bless me with wisdom! May I be adorned with the knowledge of Brahman that leads to immortality! May my body become strong and vigorous (to practise meditation)! May my tongue always utter delightful words! May I hear much with my ears! Thou art the scabbard of Brahman hidden by worldly taints (not revealed by impure, puny intellects). May I never forget all that I have learnt! Om peace, peace, peace! 3:55 ahaṃ vṛkṣasya rerivā | kīrtiḥ pṛṣṭhaṃ gireriva | ūrdhvapavitro vājinīva svamṛtamasmi | draviṇaṃ savarcasam | sumedha amṛtokṣitaḥ | iti triśaṅkorvedānuvacanam || 1 || The Mover of the Tree I am; my fame like the mountain’s peak. The High One making (me) pure, I am the very Immortal One as He is in the sun; I am the Lustrous Wealth. Of High wisdom (I am), immortal, undecaying.

Two inseparable companions of fine plumage perch on the self-same tree. One of the two feeds on the delicious fruit. The other not tasting of it looks on. samāne vṛkṣe puruṣo nimagno'niśayā śocati muhyamānaḥ | juṣṭaṃ yadā paśyatyanyamīśamasya mahimānamiti vītaśokaḥ || 2 || 2. On the self same tree, the Jiva drowned as it were and perplexed, grieves owing to helplessness. Hut when he sees the other, the lord who is worshipped by all, and his glory, lie becomes absolved from grief. 20:23 Swami Vivekananda Says (Explaination the above two mantras) 22:10 22:30 Pancha Kosha Lower Self Annamaya kosha, "food" sheath (Anna) Pranamaya kosha, "energy" sheath (Prana) Manomaya kosha "mind" sheath (Manas) Awakened to Higher Spiritual Nature Vijñānamaya kosha, "discernment" or "Knowledge" sheath (Vigynana) Anandamaya kosha, "bliss" sheath (Ananda) 24:05 Adventures In Religious Life: The Book That Makes Life Meaningful By Swami Yatiswarananda CHAPTER XII: THE SECRET STAIRS TO SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS 25:55 Life is a stage?

[@AlpeshPatel]

Making company of Maa and Thakur is also great. Or any form of God.

[@AlpeshPatel]

That also leads us to Aloneness beyond loneliness.

[@nilanjansmitra]

Revered Swamiji Maharaj, My humble query is, despite having heard, read, known, understood the truth that The Vedanta teaches, why we end up dwelling in the lower state and fail to connect with the Higher one after several efforts? Why this connection is so short-lived? What is that element which acts against the realization of the truth in our lives? How to resolve this paradox? The dichotomy of having known the truth yet failing miserably to live by same is indeed distressing. Kindly advise. Regards.

Hi Nilanjan, if you check Q&A sessions of Swami Sarvapriyananda on you tube, you see this very question has been answered in few of the talks, I am not exactly sure which ones. The gist of answer is that we have not achieved the qualification in our mind, and hence we only intellectual grasp this, but it is futile as the intellect is also part of the unqualified mind, so it become another idea or concept to play around for your ÄHAM (ego). I am also struggling like you, but I keep praying to my Ishta Deva to help me on the path for these qualifications.

We have to do sadhana and dhyana. Without it everything seems beautiful but we can't create that beauty inside us.

[@sushantchoudhary6393]

Vedanta says that it is this one self, or Brahman, in everyone. At the same time it also says the source of our suffering is the one consciousness is tricked into believing it is this body, let's say, my body. If it is the omniscient, how did it get tricked into believing it is my body? Even more so, if it is omniscient "and singular", how does it get tricked into believing it is my body, and for example, in the case of Richard Dawkins, that it is his body, both at the same time?

[@RareTechniques]

Hello It is only omniscient if you identify with it as that. The secret is the mind. Dont identify with thoughts. Pure Being Consciousness Blisss Sat chit ananda

Qualities of a guru Śrotriya - man well versed in shastras (documented ) Brahmaniṣṭham - devoted to knowledge Akaamahata - not ?spitten? by small desires Avrijina - sinless Parama kaarunika - is extremely compassionate 38:37 Swami Brahmanandaji Says 38:53 Chetana Mahaprabhu Says 39:20 I realise myself as a spirit in the body.

This is, indeed. Prana, i.e., Isvara, shining variously with all living beings. Knowing him, the wise man becomes not a talker regarding anything else. Sporting in self, delighted in self and doing nets (enjoined), this man is the best of those who know the Brahman. Variṣṭhaḥ - supreme knower of brahman Atma kreeda - sports and delights in himself Atma rati - absorbed in himself and finds light in himself Atma arama - relaxes in himself Atma tustha - satisfied with himself Atma priya - who finds himself a man of great joy 42:33 Swami Tapasyananda - mentor of swami Atmapriyananda - Named by Swami Shivananda 43:15 Ramakrishna’s favourite Bengali Song Stay up - Turn focus inwards 45:25 Very Little Time Left!! 47:05 Sankara Prays to Shiva in Shivaparadha kshamapana stotram Ayur nasyathi pasyatham prathi dinam, Yathi kshayam youvanam, Prathyayanthi gatha puna na divasaa, Kalo jagat bakshaka, Lakshmisthoya thanga banga chapala, Vidhyuchalam jeevitham, Asman maam saranagatham saranadha.

Wake up now.” You have to be alone with all your karma. So make friendship with your higher self. Constantly talk to your higher self, which is God, which is Guru, whoever. SMS your higher self. Text your higher self. Tweet your higher self.

[@rameshdevasi6720]

Aloneness and silence are two aspects of one experience, two sides of the same coin. If one wants to experience silence one has to go into one´s total aloneness. It is there. We are born alone, we die alone. Between these two realities we create a thousand and one illusions of being together - all kinds of relationships, friends and enemies, loves and hates, nations, races, religions. We create all kinds of hallucinations just to avoid one fact: that we are alone. But whatsoever we do, the truth cannot be changed. It is so, and rather than trying to escape from it, the best way is to rejoice in it. Rejoicing in your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. The meditator is one who dives deep into one´s aloneness, knowing that we are born alone, we will be dying alone, and deep down we are living alone. So why not experience what this aloneness is? It is our very nature, our very being. - Osho
