When Duality is More Fun Than Non-Duality | The Beauty Of Advaita Vedanta-Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji

Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji explores the idea that even after realizing the non-dualistic truth of the devotee and God being one, some find the experience of duality more beautiful. Using the metaphor of an undivided ocean of Consciousness with waves representing individual identities, he explains that the devotee can continue to see themselves as a wave while recognizing the vast ocean as the Divine mother. This duality allows for the experience of love and the enjoyment of the play of Duality. Before Enlightenmet duality can lead to delusion, but after Enlightenment, one can construct a duality for the sake of love. Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji shares a story about a scholar who fought for the dualistic view of God and the self being separate realities but later came to agree with a monk advocating for non-dualism. However, the scholar was criticized for his inconsistency, as the formless Brahman can also appear in forms. Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji also discusses the concept of Brahman as a divine party, where worldly experiences, including old age, disease, and misery, are perceived as awful due to our lack of self-realization as the absolute. Once one identifies with Brahman and understands their absolute security, these experiences become part of the divine play, making life more enjoyable, as Wittgenstein's quote about religion as a search for absolute security illustrates.

You are my Guru, swamiji! Whenever any questions arise in my mind, I open your videos and I get the answers!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@oneness8648]

1:13 With the background of oneness the play of duality can continue.

[@anasuyavishweshwar7831]

Felt very good. Namaskaram to Swamiji.

[@oneness8648]

Before enlightenment, duality leads to samsara, delusion.......once you attain enlightenment 1:49 Once you attain enlightenment, the imagined duality, the contructed duality, though it's non-dual, but you construct a duality.....why would you do that (?) For the sake of love, Bhakti, for enjoying love you must have a little bit of duality. That is more beautiful than non-duality. So that's the particular sentiment. Do you have to do that ? Not necessary. Someone like Totapuri would feel like saying 'Oh, that's nothing, I will remain, I am Brahman'. Someone like Ramana Maharshi would like to stay in that way, fine. But, Sri Ramakrishna wanted to enjoy it this way and that way also. Both. He would say, I want to play all the notes in the scale, from the highest, you know Sare, Gama, Pada, Ni....the Indian Scale. So from the highest pitch to the lowest. I want go up and down. I don't want to stay at the shrill high pitch of.....he meant non-dual pitch, I am Brahman. Not just that. He said, that's boring, that's dry. Come down, go up again. All of that is you.

What a Extraordinary explanation Thanks And Sarvaang Pranaam to You Swamiji

[@arpananeopane]

Pranam swamiji Your talks are always so enlightening. Thank you. And yes fully agree with you.. Duality is more fun than Non duality. You can relate and communicate with the divine energy and feel blissful.. Thank you🎉🎉

[@asokeroy8409]

Pronam , Swamiji. Superb in-depth clarification.

[@Artroomhub]

Pranam, he is the epitome of clarity and wisdom🙏

[@satyapalsingh4429]

Pranaam Swamiji .Heart filled with joy .Your discourse is extraordinary .❤❤❤

[@AdmiringGardeningTools-dy2rz]

It clears up for me when I remember the Upanishads speak of TWO birds ( the individual unborn self and the Supreme self) and it speaks of the THREE part Brahman, the Supreme Self, the individual Self and Prakriti ; ALL being Brahman. In Christianity Jesus is portrayed as human and God and yet prayed and went to the Father

[@kerrydubord5273]

I like that too, the self same tree.....

[@nitishness]

Thanks admin you are doing wonderful work, keep it up. Jai maa.

[@dharmadshazrachowdhury7542]

Beautiful pranam Maharaj ji

[@mnnic4292]

Sheer wisdom and so clearly explained. 🙏

[@erwin8340]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@kenkaplan3654]

Excellent. Very beautifully and succinctly put. To me there is a difference between "real" and "purpose". Only Brahman alone is real. Forms appear and disappear like wisps of clouds in the sky. But that they *appear*, that the appearance happens at all has *purpose*, has meaning. Not perhaps ultimate meaning, but meaning in that is constructed at all. The party-companionship metaphor is used by Yogis a lot. My Guru said the same thing. So did Yogananda. This explains "why is this all here?" It is as simple as that.

[@wisdom_steps_channel]

Taking inspiration, I have also started spiritual youtube channel in English ❤. Thank you 😊🙏😊

[@kerrydubord5273]

Undisturbed is that wonderful sea of consciousness, the Self. Throughout the day if you do not disturb the Self you will see that this is One within the sea all pervading. That Thou Art, Consciousness.

[@mitche5007]

Summary: contrast🙏

[@arumugamkanesanathan2773]

Years of meditation practices with the ESSENCE takes you to limitless pure open space, at this point I can only wonder. Thank you Swami for saying it. It matches my experience.

[@soumenpaul7544]

Its all speculation till one has experienced non duality.

[@vijisusikar5458]

[@madhavikhandare]

Beautiful as usual.. Pranaam 🙏🙏

[@Christoir]

Ah great - thank you for insight - yes - the chance to walk and witness this beautiful creation - we’re in such a great party that all the attendance opportunities slots are full of life forms - in me, on me and around me - incomprehensible magic to enjoy, now, If I could only stay awake all the time. Cheers C

হ্যাঁ খুব খুব সুন্দর কিন্তু আমি যদি realise করি ব্রহ্ম কী, তখন তো মহারাজ আপনার কথা আর শোনার দরকার করবে না! I don't want that🌹🌹🙏. অদ্বৈতবাদ, দ্বৈতবাদ দুটোই ভালো। যার যেমন ভাব তার তেমন লাভ। আমার প্রণাম আপনাকে মহারাজ।

Dual Scholar to Non-Dual Swami : Mahatmaji, aap theek....sach kehtey hai. Nirakar hi sach hai. Non-Dual Swami to Dual Scholar : Aur Saakar tera chacha hai ? 😄 4:09 Who is the one with form ? That same formless one is with form. Why ? You see, if you are Brahman, if you are the formless Brahman, and you can appear in the name and form of Vijay. Can that formless Brahman not appear as Mother Kali ? Of course, it can. It's the same reality. It's a great joy to experience in that way. And Sri Ramakrishna compares the two. Whatthe difference between the formless non-dual Brahman, and Brahman with all these forms ? Here, this is Brahman for an enlightened person. So what is the difference ? The difference is this - He says the difference is between eating at home and going out to a party. The party is this world. Brahman is having a party here. You see, it's an awful party because we don't know Brahman. If you know Brahman, if you realize yourself as the Absolute, then it's fun. Even the miserable part of it is fun for you, because you know you are SAFE.....as Brahman, as the Absolute. Old age doesn't touch you. Disease doesn't touch you.....touches the body, destroys the body. Misery and frustration doesn't touch you. It touches the mind. You know that you are absolutely secure. Then you can play. Then it is a party. Then it is fun. It's a divine play. Then Leela can be applied to it. The philosopher Wittgenstein, very beautiful, he said - What is Religion ? Beautiful insights.....he says 'religion is a search for absolute security.' Yes, nowhere it is better shown than in Advaita Vedanta.
