I disambiguated Self and self in verse 5. “One should raise one’s self through the Self, and never lower one’s self. For the Self alone is one’s friend and the self alone is one’s enemy.”

45:12 They all are connected Existence , consciousness , bliss

[@harshavr]

🙏🏼Such an insight filled with talk practical advice illustrated with beautiful stories.

[@aditivettori]

53:27 self 1. Waking self level = one consciousness with all body. I am not here for the service of this body but all beings. (Karma yoga) 2. Dreaming self level = oneness between tejasya and hiranyagarbha. Express it through love for all beings. (bhakti yoga) 3. Deep sleep = samadhi/oneness with God. (Raj yoga) 4. Turiya (consciousness) = gyana yoga

[@sumadinesh8910]

Feel blessed to receive such wonderful knowledge from a great Master : Koti Pranams.Thankyou so much for posting these lectures

[@aditivettori]

18:14 2nd point (Ud)Dhri - to raise yourself up (from being petty, meanness to higher, noble thinking) motto of a spiritual person: "let us talk and think only about the noble, the vast and the great" Bhrihadmadeva (Ud)Ri - to snatch away (rescue yourself away from worldliness) Lift yourself up from self = what self? Physical self, ego, body-mind, senses 24:53 what is the role of previous conditioning? If we do not make an effort, whatever is packed in us will pop up. We have a small window of free will. "What will I think, see, say, do etc" Replace worldly desires by Godly desires!

[@ushams8268]

Pranams & thank you Sir...🙏🙏🙏

[@hikicha]

1. Duryodh problem of knowing what is good and bad and yet not having the force and willingness to get past it . 2. Untile resolve is made after getting the right view other steps in spirituality is not possible 3. We may not have perfect will free will but we have the freedom to recognise that 4. If you don't spend any effort, the default settings ,that is the Samsara in the mind executes itself. 5. There is a window of opportunity with the desire,for the impulse just comes above the conscious layer first look at it 6. Initially, lot of effort is required and hence at the start work based yoga is important ( Karma yOga) 7. The samsakaras come up as likes & dislikes , Watch for it and one will see patterns 8. Replace the vritis ( impressions/waves) that come up in the mind with positive impressions . Doing it repeatedly, the mind changes 9. Lower self is reducing from ultimate truth., Bliss, consciousness . that has various levels of lower in love/desires, awareness/focus , consciousness, selfishness 10. For a person who can control him/herself they are friend and who cannot self is An enemy

12:06 1st point 3 levels of free will 1. At 1st level (practical level) it appears there is free will (for all practical purposes Krishna accepts free will) 2. Go deeper - inquire into it theologically, scientifically etc: there is no free will 3. Vendantic/advaitic perspective: no free will but 'freedom'. You are always free. You are Brahman. Use the illusion of free will to surrender to God.

[@aditivettori]

38:38 avasādayet = depression Do not lower yourself. Our tendency: positive actions like karma yog, service, meditation etc. needs efforts but all pleasure seeking activities(eat, sleep, gossip, wasting time)-no efforts 42:26 From advaitic point of view how do we lower ourselves? We lower ourselves from sat chid ananda, when we throw ourselves into this fractured reality. "I am this much and not the rest" You have lowered yourself. From sat: i exist only inside this skin, outside this skin are 'others'. I have lowered myself to this limited body, instead of all existence. From chid: I have thrown all my understanding into objects. Consciousness becomes hidden from me and insentient world becomes my reality. From ananda: for whatever reason you are unhappy you are committing an offense against your true nature. The moment I limit my existence to one little body, the moment I limit my attention to world outside; the result will be "dukha". 45:48 avasādayet in practical sense = doing the opposite of 4 yogas (lower yourself) Selfishness x karma yoga Hundreds of worldly desires x bhakti yoga Scattered mind x raj yoga Identifying with body and mind instead of with Brahman x gyan yoga

Something unrelated to this talk, but, posting here with the hope of getting an answer. I have been trying to nominate "Vedanta Society of New York" to receive matching contributions from my employer for the donations I make. But, they ask for the first and last name of a contact person at the society and an email address. I couldn't find those at all at the website. I tried calling the phone number listed there several times and nobody picks up the phone.

Cittabasa plus ego is the self mentioned in the above verse Or only reflecting consciousness ie Ltd self

[@sreedhark.r.1532]

@11.50 itis painful to hear revered 13:59 swamiji trying to whitewash the horrendous crimes committed by islam and Christianity for forcible conversion. Even devout islamists and Christians do not agree with Swamiji assertion
