BEST Definition of God According to Swami Sarvapriyananda

#advaita #vedanta #sarvapriyananda
In this insightful discourse, Swami Sarvapriyananda delves into the profound definition of God or Brahman as presented in the Taitiri Upanishad. Emphasizing the uniqueness of this definition, Swami Sarvapriyananda claims it surpasses all philosophical and religious literature from both the East and the West. The central theme revolves around understanding Brahman through three fundamental questions: What is Brahman? How is Brahman known? and What is attained by knowing Brahman?
The exploration unfolds with a meticulous analysis of the term "Anantam" or infinity, leading to a revelation that Brahman is omnipresent, eternal, and non-dual. Swami Sarvapriyananda skillfully addresses the apparent contradiction between the finite reality we perceive and the infinite nature of Brahman. By urging listeners to focus on the essence of existence, Swami Sarvapriyananda invites a shift in perspective, prompting the recognition that the substratum of all things is a boundless and continuous ocean of existence. This transformative insight challenges conventional notions and invites a profound understanding of Brahman as the unbounded reality underlying the diverse manifestations of the world.

Swami my pranam, I heard two characteristics or types of Brahman - Saguna and Nirguna Brahman. Could you please make us aware of this in the context of this video conversation? 🙏

It seems to be "thought" itself that causes "duality" because the nature of thought requires "contrast", such as "this and that", "light and dark" etc. Another form of this "contrast" is "degree". Where we say "dark is just the absence of light", so then it becomes the "degree or quantity" of light. But it is still in the "duality" or "contrast" nature of "thought". If we consider the "Source", the what is it from which "thought itself" arises, whatever that is, it is beyond "duality". You might say that it is "unknowable", that it is "thought itself" trying to understand where it comes from. Which is also like trying to understand where a dream comes from. The name that can be put on that is God, or the various other language names for that concept. In the Bible there is a passage where God describes Himself to Moses as I AM, THAT I AM. And the Bible also indicates "that Mankind is created in the image of God", so we are also that I AM, THAT I AM. That there can be no defination, in terms of anything that we know, (in our thoughts) for what our REAL NATURE IS.

Brahman bukan defenisi. Brahman bukan kesadaran murni. Di Gita ada tertulis:" Aku tahu, semua mahkluk yang pernah hidup, sekarang dan yang lahir nanti, tetapi tiada seorangpun wahai Arjuna yang mengenal Aku. Tq.
