Actually, those who claim to be non dual are dual and those who claim to be dual are non dual. Claiming that brahaman alone is real and world is appearance what else is it other than duality and claiming Narayana alone is real so much so that the devotee forgets about the world and even himself, all forms and names are of Narayana alone what else is it other than non duality.

If I may make one suggestion to beginners who are prepared to delve: Go with what resonates with you. Whatever you begin with, Bhagavad Gita, Brahma Sutras, Upanishads, etc., if it isn't resonating, do not pound your head against the wall trying to understand. Move to another source. Find something that resonates. And delve. If one Upanishad bores you or is over your head, try another. Some are very different from each other. If all of it is beyond your understanding and interest, then begin with a more popular book on the subject. Watch a video on youtube. There are many Advaitans who give talks. Buddhist talks can also help. Especially Dzogchen. Jiddu Krishnamurti doesn't publicly espouse Advaita, but deep down, he is. I have read lots. I use this one rule, and it has always served me well. *Go with what resonates.*

Some of the explanations of the 3 types of conscious/awareness experience (waking, dreaming, unconscious) are confusing to me as well as a few other things. I'm listening to the lectures anyways.

[@joelrivardguitar]

@@shuvamchatterjee8611 "if you think they are wrong then you are free to discover your own path." I didn't say they are wrong. I'm saying I'm taking a critical and rational look at the concepts and trying to see how they could be true? Our consciousness is part of a larger consciousness, Brahman. I believe it is solely from brain function. So I'm trying to find some evidence to latch on to. I cannot just believe something that doesn't provide evidence? We are all Brahman, ok, there must be ways to test or demonstrate this? Why do different branches of Hinduism disagree? Is it all just what people choose to believe is true? That would be no better than any religion? Is there a point where you can see how this is true or does a point come where you just go "ok I now believe this"?

You are very generous to every philosophy and here it is one of the proof of a enlightened person , never get identified of particular philosophy , though Swamiji belongs directly to Advaita philosophy but he openly admits of other philosophy's contribution in his spiritual journey that is something special character of Swami Sarvapriyananda ji from other Advaitan Philosopher .

No confusion. Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are INCOMPLETE without each other. In other words, without the immanent shiva or athma nothing exists or nothing can be perceived in its current form and without shakhti, shiva is shava (corpse). So, shiva and Shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. This is SANKHYA VEDIC metaphysics which combines ADVAITHA AND DVAITHA.

Advaita Vedanta is quite radical. But it gives instantaneous realisation, like a spark right now. If a little contemplation done on drig drishya viveka with correct understanding. It certainly, makes one realise about his true Brahman nature. It's a very powerful technique. The beauty of Advaita Vedenta is that, even after a speck of realisation that "I am Brahman", it increases our love bhakti for Personal god, even more. When An aspirant realises that essence wise he and god is not different, how realistic would be his devotion to god. After Advaidic realisation, the dualistic practice becomes as realistic as practicing only dualism. Ohm Tat sat

Tat avam asi - you are "already" that. Athma is the conscious observer and experiencer of individual 5 senses.. But athman is not the doer. Without the immanent athma nothing can exist or nothing can be perceived in its current form. So, athman = brahman. Expansion of individual consciousness to cosmic consciousness is samadhi or moksha when microcosm becomes macrocosm.

[@jagadishgajurel2597]

There has been lot of debate going on within abhrahamic faiths. We can't debate them cause references and philosophies would be different. And Abhrahamic scholors are more interested to falsify other gods and beliefs rather than talking about paths.

A crude note on hermeneutics: . In the history of biblical interpretation, four major types of hermeneutics have emerged: the literal, moral, allegorical, and anagogical. . However, the Hindu way differ in its form and quality as we have shadlingas to interpret the Vedic mantras and shastras on one hand, the whole nirukta, chhanda, vyakarana, etc. as the tool to interprete tham. To add, our way of exploring the meaning and import in the light of adhyamik, adhibhautik and adhidaivik perspective should be based and extended to six dimensions of interpreting the vedic mantras as per one swami of arya samaji acharya nashthik agnivrata....

BG-15 starts ऊर्ध्वमूलं अधःशाखम् … which are words of Sri.Krishna entirely and it is being spoken without अर्जुन asking questions. Here comes a rude surprise, Sri.Shankara asks, how devotion alone can fetch release?. Devotion should lead to knowledge of the impersonal ब्रह्मन् (ज्ञान-प्राप्ति) and such a knowledge alone can lead to मोक्ष. Sri.Shankara wants devotion less in status to that of knowledge. His words in this respect are a rude shock. Please read them here, यस्मात् मदधीनं कर्मिणां कर्म-फलं, ज्ञानिनां च ज्ञान-फलं अतः *भक्ति-योगेन* मां ये सेवन्ते ते मम प्रसादात् *ज्ञान-प्राप्ति-क्रमेण* गुणातीताः मोक्षं गच्छन्ति / किमु वक्तव्यं आत्मनः तत्त्वमेव सम्यक विजानन्तः? इति / अतः भगवान् अर्जुनेन अपृष्टोऽपि आत्मनः तत्त्वं विवक्षुः उवाच *ऊर्ध्वमूलम्* इत्यादिना … “The consequential results or fruits of actions are under My control and I bestow it upon those who perform it, likewise, the consequential results or fruits of knowledge are under my control and I bestow it upon those who acquire knowledge, those who are devout themselves unto me through the yoga of devotion attain release through my grace after transcending the fetters of गुण. *Where is the need then to speak of those who have acquired the knowledge of the (Impersonal) Self?* It is therefore, Sri.Krishna commences with the words ऊर्ध्वमूलम् to set about the truth of Impersonal Self, despite अर्जुन not asking questions here”, Please read in between the lines here. Bhakti is made to look lower than Knowledge - *भक्ति-योगेन* मां ये सेवन्ते ते मम प्रसादात् *ज्ञान-प्राप्ति-क्रमेण* गुणातीताः मोक्षं गच्छन्ति / किमु वक्तव्यं आत्मनः तत्त्वमेव सम्यक विजानन्तः? - this position is in total variance with BG-14.26. ज्ञान is like sugar dissolved in bowl of water. Every sip of water taken from any corner of the bowl tastes sweet. The same sugar syrup when boiled becomes sticky and viscous. This viscosity is भक्ति. Now, compare and contrast the immortal words of our *आचार्य-पूज्य-पाद*, माहात्म्य-ज्ञान-पूर्वस्तु सुदृढः सर्वतोऽधिकः / *स्नेहो भक्तिरिति प्रोक्तः* तथा मुक्तिः, न चान्यथा // *Our आचार्य-पूज्य-पाद uses the apt word स्नेह which in Sanskrit means viscous*. इति शम् Thank you & best regards, Raghavendra Bheemasena Rao.

Raghavendra MBR - There is no blind devotion or Bakthi in hindu/vedic tradition. We have just shraddha (trust but verify with knowledge and experience). The word Shraddha was replaced by Bakthi in Baghavad Gita. Thanks to colonizers. They wanted to create blind bakthi movements to mimic Abrahamic religions. Colonizers thought It would be easy to control people through organized bakthi movements just like Church. So, they also created fake back dated non existent figures like Madhavacharya, Ramanuja and went to any extend to prove it. Their fake interpretations of the original Advaitha and Dvaitha metaphysics caused serious confusion among hindus which led to the thinking that Advaitha and Dvaitha are competing metaphysics Original Dvaitha does not say athman is not equal to brahman and Advaitha does not say that Maya is the illusion through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe either. Maya is the creative shakthi of Shiva and it is absolutely real. So, our world/universe is also real. Advaitha just says that the illusion (false identification with thoughts and body) is caused by Maya. Point is Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi but only in combination with non dual shiva) are incomplete without each other.

Some pointers here, just trying to keep things honest and accurate. - First of all, Dvaita is not used in the term of “Duality” vs. “Non-duality”. The real name for Madhvacharya’s school is “Tattvavada”. It is a monotheistic pluralistic realistic school that fundamentally classifies the ontological nature of reality into just two categories: Svatantra and Asvatantra - “Self-dependent” and “Dependent”. The Swamiji did mention this. The supremacy (most vividly understood through his Self-dependence, and infinitely complete nature) Sri Hari, or Vishnu, or Narayana is the primary import of all Vedas “वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्य: || BG 15-15” - One popular advaitic notion that needs to be removed is everything else other than Advaita is Dvaita. That is wrong. Everything other than Dvaita is Advaita. To quote Prof. Surendranath Dasgupta - “The only school of Vedanta in India that holds an uncompromising Dualistic view is Madhwa’s Dvaita - everyone else compromised with Advaita in one form or another…”. This will be very clear with serious study of Madhwacharya’s philosophy. - Definition of Vedanta differs in the two schools: o Advaita - Only Upanishads o Dvaita - Upanishads, but more importantly Brahma Sutras are the real “Vedanta” since without Badarayana’s aphorisms interpretations on Veda are not possible. - There was a cheeky comparison of Madhwas to Evangelical Christians. This, by the way is not a new view - ignorant people have been making it over the centuries. Giving the benefit of doubt to the swamiji, I can say a superficial view of the Madhwa attitude towards advaita could seem that way. However, the basis behind refuting wrong knowledge or viparita jnana is actually clearly mentioned in the Ishavasya Upanishad (shloka 9). It is our firm belief as vVaidikas that we should live up to that ideal: “Those who worship Vishnu with false understanding enter dense, unrelenting darkness; a greater darkness than that go they, who are merely devoted to the correct understanding (but do not care to criticize incorrect understanding). We may say, therefore, that “a great responsibility rests with him who knows; he is bound to teach others, [else] his lot is even worse than those of the ignorant.” [SCV11] Not only is it the case that one must condemn false knowledge in order to avoid the greater suffering that would ensue if one did not, but one must also do so because the two things, correct understanding and condemnation of incorrect understanding, each have their own separate result that one should seek.” - Dvaita does not randomly classify the Veda into Tattvavedika and atattvavedika. All the vedas, all the sacred scriptures are primarily conveying the majesty of God, and the way out of Samsara is to lose ahamkara and mamakara and understand that God is the real doer, not the self. The self is only an instrument, like an axe that cuts the ashwattha tree. So there are no differences between the Samhita and the Brahmana and the Aranyaka and the Upanishad, or the Ramayana, or the Mahabharata, or the Puranas. A deep study of Brahma Sutra and all other texts are required for this, a cursory glimpse or bedtime reading will not do. This is the meaning of the sutra - “Om Tattu Samanvayat Om” - One thing that Advaitins forget, is that the traditional view holds that the Vedas are infinite - “AnantA vai vedAH”. Badarayana, or Srimad Veda Vyasa compressed the entire infinite Veda into 564 sutras for analysis. One should reflect - is this possible by a “mere rishi”? - There we 19 Brahma Sutra bhashyas before Shankaracharya. So he was not, according to popular belief the first. He was the 20th Bhasyakara, and Madhwacharya was the 22nd. - Madhvacharya’s brahma sutra bhashya - there are 4 - not 1. And nobody calls it “Purna Prajna Bhashya”. Here are the real names: o Brahma Sutra Bhashya o Anubhasya o Nyaya Vivarana o Anuvyakhyana - Jnana vs. Bhakti - unfortunately, the swamiji has is not totally accurate here. Jnana is the highest goal of any human - न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते । तत्स्वयं योगसंसिद्धः कालेनात्मनि विन्दति ॥ BG 4-38 Bhakti is culmination of the right Jnana, of the supremacy of God and His infinitely completely spot free and pure nature and the upakara without prayojana that he does for infinite Jivas for infinite time, out of His own purnAnanda svaroopa. In advaita, Bhakti has zero meaning. Bhakti towards what? What is the object of Bhakti? You are Brahman, so who are you showing devotion to? Devotion can only arise, by definition, to an entity that is many folds superior to you. As Hanuman said - "Dasoham Kosalendrasya" because Rama is swayam Bhagavan. One more perspective to think about: Jnana is the ultimate goal of Vedanta (all Vedanta - not just Advaita, that's another monumental misconception) "Nahi Jnanena Sadrisham". Karma, Bhakti, Vairagya all spring out of True Jnana. Without true Jnana, what meaning is there to Bhakti? (It becomes superstitious emotional sentimentalism) and Karma becomes empty rituals without any higher motive guiding it. Seeing one as different from the other does not make any sense. Jnana is the Gangotri. Thinking that Bhakti is different from Jnana is the same as not understanding what Bhakti is at all. Bhakti is the CULMINATION of Jnana - Atma Samarpana, and can only come from very mature souls. - Ultimately, we should at least appreciate the honesty of the Ramakrishna order. The swamiji quite openly admitted that “we accept the statements from the Gita, with a footnote that they are all false”. I think what he meant by that is, if they say something that purportedly has a “Bheda bhava”, hethey will consider that vyavaharika, or anirvachaniya or sadasadvilakshana - for which there is zero proof in the vedas and plenty of proof in Buddhism, and has been througroughly refuted logically too. So Advaita quite simply becomes Buddhism cloaked in Upanishadic language. This is not an attack or an insinuation - it is quite literally the truth, whether you want to believe it or not. - Another very basic mistake - belief in God in Dvaita is not blind faith. First of all Bhakti is not faith - it is love (sneha). The swamiji read out Madhwacharya’s definition of Bhakti, then forgot about it and contradicted himself later. Bhakti comes from knowledge of God and His supremacy. It comes from faith in SCRIPTURE, which talks about God. This scripture itself is Apaurusheya which is inherently flawless, therefore it is the only authority on God. That’s a huge topic in itself - but basically the swamiji oversimplified to a caricature. - Last point: The job of reconciliation between different world views is that of a politician. Not that of a seeker of truth. This is why no Madhwa has ever seeked to reconcile with advaita. This is the truth the way we see it - and no amount of linguistic trickery can shake the nishtha in truth. To all serious students of Indian Philosophy - please LEARN SANKSRIT. Stop relying on English translations. Read all bhashyas with an open view. Come to your own conclusions. There are many traditional scholars who can guide you along your path. Please seek their help. Believing that you are Brahman is blind faith of infinite proportions. For someone really interested in Dvaita, please check this video out, it may give a more accurate painting of Vedic scripture as a whole. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rbY3WPeb1qerc Uttishtha! Jagrta!

Then how do you say that water is wave only? waves are qualified with water and air. If waves are the same as the ocean we will not see it distinctly on the beach. Waves are distinct but inseparable from the ocean. LIkewise we have other living beings, fish and ocean beings all are distinct from the water but inseparable from the ocean. This is the reality of life. Waves and fishes are something different from Ocean but as on today they are never seperable from ocean. Thus all in one. This is oneness. Brahman is infinite. He is qualified by the Universe and living beings who are distinct to each other but never inseparable from brahman. Universe changes which is natural. Living beings born and die. All these happens even today as inseparable act of Brahman. From Sankaracharya time till today- the universe still exists. If he has discovered Universe is illusion and he is Brahman and there is only one Brahman which is Sankaracharya. Why the Universe exisit for you and I even today? So illusion still prevails even though many has realised the " they are exactly Brahman and Universe does not exisit" Universe cannot be called brahman. Both are totally defined different by Sankaracharya. Sankaracharya says remove the universe which is illusion what remains is Brahman. Sorry till today Brahman is infinite, living beings are inifinte and Universe is also infinite. Then where is oneness? Oneness is achiived as Brahamn qualified with Living beings and Universe, Brahman'sinfinite body as living beings and universe, Brahman's mode as Living biengs and universe, Brahman's infinite power or part as living beings and universe.

So there must be cause for it to transform into wave and that is air pressure. But adwaitha is trying to say something different that is, when we come to our situation, brahman is infinite and so is devoid of cauality(brahman is not an entity of phenomenonal world like water). We are quoting that example *only* to show the relation of universe with brahman is existantial .So, if the universe is born out of brahman, you can't ask why.Thus there is no need of air pressure here, a real cause. If there is real cause, then brahman is finite as it is bounded to causality So the answer to first question is, question itself is a logical fallacy because of comparsion of non-causal entity to causally bounded entity(an example is something used to show one or more postulates of a theory effectively and can't be a perfect indicator)

It turns viscous & sticky after it reaches certain boiling point. परिपाक of ज्ञान is भक्ति. मायावाद says भक्ति or उपासन is for the lower level people whose cognitive ability is weak. ज्ञान is for people who have higher cognitive ability.

Due to this ahamKara of 'I' being distinct individual person(inferior/superior) results in dukkha.

Whereas AV indicates that it is the consciousness that gives vitality to the other 4 and it's existence not dependent on the other 4.
