Swami Sarvapriyananda ji on "Consciousness: the Ultimate Reality" in Helsinki, Finland, 13 Aug 2024

[@kerrydubord5273]

I think, therefore I am. (More appropriate in Vedanta) "I am" therefore I think, meaning we are not our thoughts, as before we move or before we think? Pure Consciousness is the witnessing link. Imbued is consciousness Itself.

Not necessarily true, "I am and I don't think" is possible

[@kerrydubord5273]

@@Uzumaki_Naruto061 that can be true, if we are not our thoughts, but then again you choose not to think so therefore that is still a decision.

@@kerrydubord5273 you are just bad at logic sorry to say, I was just stating that the proposition you gave is not necessarily true, it can be falsified and I just demonstrated an example

[@kerrydubord5273]

Like I said, what you said, this can be true. I stated we are not our thoughts, meaning that in general, changes from thought to thought. What is there at the forefront is our consciousness. I think therefore I am, I am therefore I think, I am and I don't think, it has no weight but that of inertness. Consciousness, this is alive and well, you ARE my friend.

Best lecture I ever heard.Swami Sarvapriyananda articulation has progressed.We heard that Swami Vivekananda was famous for best articulation.Therefore is it wrong to say that TODAY we equate Swami Sarvapriyananda to Swami Vivekananda.

[@BillHustonPodcast]

Om Shanti! Such a joy to be alive at this auspicious time to receive another teaching of Swami Sarvapriyananda, one of the greatest teachers ever! I first studied Indian Philosophy / Sanatana Dharma via Alan Watts (as a teen), later (more directly) with Pooja Swami Dayananda Saraswati of Yogaville, and Sri Yogi Edmond Cotton. Such a pleasure to find another great communicator like Swami Sarvapriyananda! Such logical clarity, delivered with such sweetness 🙏🙇‍♂️♥️🌹 thank you & namaste!

I must ad that this swami has been a true guiding light.He speaks in such clear and relatable language that it seems safe to assume he speaks from direct experience.

[@micheldisclafani2343]

Swami is a pleasant speaker, extremely well prepared and very clear. I am 86 and clearly remember the instant when I became conscient. My mother told me that I was 9 months old. To become conscient is like waking up yet with a strong feeling toward reality. So what is reality? It cannot be part of a dream because all living creatures wake up to life. Is consciousness then part of life?

Pranam Maharaj 🙏🙏🙏 Jai Shree Ramakrishna It has been a great solace to listen to your speeches. i deeply aspire to dedicate this life for Spiritual Sadhana and to get closer to God as much as possible. But there is a big obstacle in my Spiritual path which is dragging me again n again into negativities each time i progress a little. Since childhood i ve been a helpless victim of blackmagic n crooked tortures from my elder brother n his wicked guru. That has caused health problems in my body , mind and has ruined my social life. And now with the help of some durmanthravadins , astrologers n oraganizations he is trying to trap me and put me in assylum. Within a week he may succeed in it and if he does, he will destroy me so badly that i would never be able to do any Spiritual Sadhana in this life. i am in big trouble. Please help and bless me Swamiji , to be shifted to a secure place to stay protected from his men... where i can pursue my Spiritual Goal more deeply. Humbly seeking Your blessings. 🙏 OM

Incidentally, there's a recent article published in NEJM demonstrating presence of in 25 % of patience in coma. We'll, that's only preliminary. There must be more. May be Swamiji can elaborate on that. Similarly, swamiji will be gracious enough to incorporate Genetics, Epigenetics n Karma to explain why only a chosen few become " enlightened " whereas the majority remain in the 'miserable' neverending cycle of hardships and 'unhappiness ' unlike the Finns. Thanks again Swamiji 💖🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Swamijii. In 1967 when I was a radical fundamentalist materialist I took LSS aa a scientific experiment. There was atime during the trip that my hands were talkinv fo each other as though they had their own separated consciousness. As I'm listeningvto this talk I remembered that and it brcame a metaphor for our apparent individual consciousness vs that of the Ultimate Reality (Brahma). Tat Tuam Asi.

[@aditivettori]

12:26 Conceptual journey from duality (materialistic view of consciousness) to non-duality (Advaita vedantic view of consciousness) 5 negations (neyti neyti) 1. Consciousness is not brain. 2. Consciousness is not an object. 3. Consciousness is not mind. 4. Consciousness is not many. 5. Consciousness is not two which means that there is nothing else other than consciousness. Consciousness and its objects are not two.

[@ciocantiti5664]

If there is only one Consciousness, why is it not enough for only one person to be enlightened, but everyone must go through this process of enlightenment?

[@Mr-Singh21]

Read advait vedant

[@ciocantiti5664]

I read it but it was still not clear to me. This means that there is only one consciousness in which my person appears, through which other beings and the universe appear. So all enlightened beings and the rest world are just a perception of my mind. This consciousness which projects me, through which I project the whole universe, is contaminated, it is an appearance of pure consciousness, and it goes through a process of purification. Ramana Maharshi says that this consciousness which perceives this world of pleasure-pain is only an illusion, the true consciousness perceives only itself. Swami Sarvapryiananda speaks of the consciousness that perceives this world as the supreme consciousness.

[@conscons5776]

YOU ARE ALREADY ENLIGHTENED...JUST " REALIZE" THAT. " THERE ARE NO OTHERS."

[@1oscarbravo]

Because it is the mind of each individual that becomes enlightened, not consciousness.

[@RKV8527]

Consciousness and science are going to merge.

[@sachinmittal5569]

Based on this, the question is why should I care about consciousness? It seems to be over encompassing entity which makes everything and is everywhere. It cannot be impacted and does not impact anything.. How does this knowledge help me in my daily sufferings through everyday life?

[@1oscarbravo]

You missed the entire import of the lecture. Who is this "me" who undergoes suffering in life? It is the body and the mind. But the body and mind are not the real You. They are objects to the real You, and therefore cannot be You.

[@SeemaWrites1000]

18:52 I apologize to say this to you, but what "disconnect" or explanatory gap is there about the perception of the surrounding world by the living beings? Multiple organs and systems of the living body work together to get that perception when it is not under any form of anaesthetic. An Anaesthetic can take away my "awareness" of the left hand, right hand and other parts. Quantum could give us many more explanations from the modern world, while I really appreciate Swami explaining consciousness (not mind, that he says that the modern science is working on) from the advanced ancient understanding on human consciousness as the Witness.

[@KameshNamuduri]

Swamiji discussed the bet between Christopher Koch and David Chalmers. In 2023, Scientific American reported "Koch then doubled down on his bet. Twenty-five years from now, he predicted, when he will be age 91 and Chalmers will be age 82, consciousness researchers will achieve the “clarity” that now eludes them. Chalmers, shaking Koch’s hand, took the bet.". So, the debate goes on...

[@MM-dh3wr]

Without body there is no experience of consciousness

[@UshaTewari-f1v]

Swami ji I have a question regarding object and subject and you said everything that’s an object can not be subject and then you said that truth is very close to object that means it’s an object so my question is the ultimate truth is is Sat-Chit -Ananda or our existence that’s where I am confused. Does that make the ultimate truth also an object . This is coming from a person who is still understanding 101 Vedanta . Pranam Swamiji 🙏

[@MM-dh3wr]

If ocean water, the space it occupied and salt ….all coexisting …there is no subject object when everything occupies the same space.

[@MM-dh3wr]

If it is considered that only one-ness exists, then it is needless to talk of two or many and then try to negate the duality. Brahman which is pure cannot become anything impure If Brahman created the universe as a Lila then it is assumed that it must have an origin in time and a source.

[@regardsk3815]

अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम् | भूतभर्तृ च तज्ज्ञेयं ग्रसिष्णु प्रभविष्णु च | This does mean Brahman is real, and the universe is like a fake snake or illusion. This just says that all countries, though divided by geographic location, all countries are unified as one globe. प्रकृतिं पुरुषं चैव विद्ध्यनादी उभावपि | विकारांश्च गुणांश्चैव विद्धि प्रकृतिसम्भवान् || 20 If 17 verses accepte as illusion. 20th verse prakruti and atma both being beinningless will be meaningless

[@0004W]

A dead person’s brain is still there … why isn’t he conscious…. Where did his consciousness disappear if consciousness is everywhere…. What has gone from his body that he’s not able to function …? Again they will say mind survives the body and at the same time saying that mind is only an object ….

[@entropy608]

In your awareness you report the person is dead etc etc. In your awareness there is experience of the mind. It is natural to identify with it and say: My Mind. When the mind is in deep sleep You are there despite the lack of experience. Because when you experience the waking state of the Mind you say: I fell into deep sleep but didn’t know anything. How? When your body and mind dies (hopefully not for a loooong time!) who or what will report that the mind is gone or not? Yet like in Deep Sleep You the Existence continues. What would be the argument that Existence ceases? Where would Existence "go"? Food for thought. 😊

[@Uzumaki_Naruto061]

How do you know that his consciousness doesn't exist anymore?

[@vanamatrika..]

There is no his or her consciousness....he or her,ne or you,it or that is in the consciousness. Even the dead body is in the consciousness.only that the dead body is not being able to transact with the world...and all of this is happening in The consciousness. All if this vedantic knowledge is absolutely subjective... It is one singular point. Either that singularity is You...tat twam asi ..its in your consciousness all these is present. Or it is I Am aham brahmasmi...all these things are in me.
