Overcoming Lust and Desire | Swami Sarvapriyananda

[@guardian7keys]

Summary 1. Service to others - karma 2. Love God - bhakti 3. Keep the mind in serenity - meditation 4. Knowledge of orientation of the mind - jnana

Karma is not necessarily serving others. It's more like doing your duties nishkam way. There is difference.

This video is an answer to my prayers. It brings tears to my eyes to hear such wisdom delivered so lovingly and with humor. What a blessing.

When water comes from eyes this is due to over ecstacy and bliss. This shows you are a very conscious person. Nothing wrong. When your journey starts inwards water will just flow from eyes.

I feel you brother 🤗

[@suvomoy8975]

I exactly got you...

[@galahadthreepwood9394]

As a recovered alcoholic myself, I relate very strongly to Girish Gosh. Not being an alcoholic, the Swami doesn’t quite understand the miraculous nature of God removing the obsession to drink, it’s not a small matter. To quote Jesus again, “What is impossible for man, is possible for God”.

[@lesmonkmorison2828]

Its amazing to see how indians have very detailed positively logical answers for almost ALL of life's problems.... 🙏

[@poochytown]

What is really amazing to me is how this conspicuous mountain of wisdom is utterly invisible to the overwhelming majority of Americans!

[@sunriselotus]

I recently went to India, it very much appears to me that this mountain of wisdom needs to be more urgently and vehemently uncovered there first!

[@Pqihtyieojn12]

​@@sunriselotus people are never taught about advaita. But it's gradually coming to the masses nevertheless. The change is very slow but it's happening anyway.

[@Pqihtyieojn12]

​@@sunriselotus oh it is coming into action but very subtly. The idea of advaita, the divine nature of man is in every aspect of human ethics and development in every society. But Indians can't afford to mimic the fallacious logic of the west and turn into clothed animals. And you can't possible expect the masses of India so long under the hypnotism of their own weakness thanks to priestcraft, foreign invasions and dualism to immediately rise to the level of advaita in a day. Instead of demeaning society, it's my firm belief that if people came forward and told the masses of their own greatness and the masses believed it, the whole country will turn into the Lord's own land like it used to be in the past and even surpass it in every respect.

[@sukumardutta9260]

Having reached perfection in Yoga one realises it oneself in one's own heart has renounced all deeds by surrendering to the Divine whose doubts have rent as by knowledge established in the Self is not bound by actions

[@jayasrid7000]

I am really fortunate to start my quest for Advaitha vedanta through swamy sarvapriyananda...each of of his lectures are like magnets pulling more and more towards advaitha..He is such brilliant teacher ,who always says ,'we' though he is much much more ahead of us..he is true guru with compassion and really blessed with the sweetest oration... Thanks a lot Vedanta NY

It is so lucid, enjoyable and true. We love him. He is excellent teacher of Advait.

[@sukhadrampandey5127]

@@seeker6089 there is huge difference between a true monk and a householder. A monk practices what he preaches, whereas a householder only preaches.

[@alakbetal3349]

This monk is a gift of RK no doubt. But interesting part is that all monks ( I have come in contact of RKM only) in general have some edge in some way. That’s very very interesting.

[@madhukiranattivilli2321]

I understand and appreciate and resonate with ur general comment about AV. But, what did u particularly learn from this video? I found nothing. And boring too.

[@robmaric]

I find Ramakrishna's advice for redirecting desire and lust towards god to be so powerful. If such a feeling arises, I distill it down to its "active ingredient", so to speak, which upon some investigation is happiness arising in my own being - it never came from the object, it just seemed to. It assures me that the source of happiness truly is within. I can then let go of the object and let the distilled happiness that the desired triggered ring out like a bell in my being.

[@brunoborma]

I find it very hard for me to trully admire someone spiritual and intelectual skills. But now I imediatelly liked this swami.

I see so many similarities between Sufi and Advaita Vedanta. I came to understand more about Sufis after learning Advaita Vedanta. Thank You Swami Sarvapriyananda, we are one

[@rockingrishi1407]

Yeah Sufism comes very close to Advaita.

[@ben-dr3wf]

Even the mystical understanding of Christianity (not the doctrinal driven approach) comes close to Vedanta. All religions are like wells that try to drink from the water. Each has it's own flavor.

[@gopalpai2008]

Islamic Studies, Theologians quarrel but mystics speak the same language. If you see the quotes and teachings of Sufi masters like jalauddin rumi, Hafiz, mansoor Al Hallaj etc, all of them resonate with themes of non duality/ Advaita. There is a underlying unity which encompasses all living forms.

[@rockingrishi1407]

@@samarpanmajumdar1323 yes you are right. Sufism is close to Advaita but never the same.

[@islamicstudies1384]

@@samarpanmajumdar1323 I respect your opinion but I have learned Sufism for a long time. I understand what you hear about Islam but I have a different view.

Swami sarvapriyanand is doing well for the society, what Swami Vivekananda started and other dignified monks of the order carried it till date. I can only pray almighty God to bless him with health and happiness in his work of awakening the society by his lecture on KZbin. May God bless him.

Mind disturbed by lust and instant gratifications is the mind who wanders most. Mind who wanders most is idle mind, idle mind means there is no challenging goal one is working on. Goal can be worship.

[@orangutan79]

I am so astonished right now. This is amazing, the entire World can hear this and understand it, if only they let go of the Ego and expose their consciousness enough to understand the core of the human condition in every religion in the world, intellect and lower mind conflict...this is not something everyone can understand, but when you do, it's priceless! This is why the West (as political entities) has always been so deathly afraid of exposing its population to the philosophies of the East, specifically India. Once you're down the path to the journey to peace, love, understanding of every human's thoughts that lead to greed, lust, selfishness, the shell of a human we've all become- the universality of consciousness and religion is exactly why Vedanta is so impressive and why Americans are falling in love. This is 100% compatible with every religion in this world, because THIS IS AT the core of every religion of the world, and I can't believe our parents in the U.S didn't teach us these concepts, although it's mostly because they never learned it themselves. But, I'm lucky to have heard this now. Thank you Swami S!

What a combo, Ramakrishna a bhakti giant and Vivekananda a Jnani giant. But greatest gratitude for the knowledge 🙏

[@eternalprojectile]

Shri Ramakrishna was a bhakta on the outside ,inside he was a jnani ,Swamiji was the opposite ,a jnani on the outside inside he was a bhakta

[@Pqihtyieojn12]

Both were bhaktas and jnanis. Only one emphasised on bhakti for the masses and taught jnana only to his closest disciples prepared for it while the other taught a harmony of all four yogas. But swami vivekananda interpreted ramakrishna correctly and we have no right to question the interpretation of the chief disciple of sri ramakrishna.🙏🙏
