[@vijayagarwal3338]

But swamiji, what about sub -conscious mind.We do all work by sub-conscious mind or habit like driving a --car.it-- is said that conscious mind is 5% and rest is sub- conscius mind

[@SleazyRider86]

@@vijayagarwal3338 That's just learnt behaviour, just like muscle. You can't be sub conscience driving a car or eventually you would crash or if the unexpected happened then you would react. I find with driving you can be in a meditive state but that's it. All sub conscience is is a brief forgetfulness of a habitual routine of what you usually do, then realise you've done it without having a conscience thougt about it.

Loved the approach towards making us learn about the Upanishads. And i am a big fan of Swami Sarvapriyananda. Most of the 2 videos were Swami explaining and the rest was "come on in .. there is a lot of space here" LoL.

[@edmondwaymel3964]

It's very simple: we are all a part of God. Including all nature,universe,material and non material things(everything). Simply put: WE ARE ALL OUR OWN GODS. So simple to understand. And once we all understand this we can globally unite as ONE GOD and make this world heaven. 1+1=2

An elegant explanation of such complex philosophy !! Naman swami ji 🥰🙏

[@draghuna]

Thank you so much Swami, for the remarkably lucid insights on what is a difficult, abstract subject. I recognized two parallels here. (1) Rene Descartes' "I think therefore I am" (Cogito ergo sum) which I now think, after listening to this lecture, is a point in his life when he arrived at that understanding of his consciousness and (2) in books on Emotional Intelligence where it is suggested that you become "self aware" to the point where you constantly and consciously observe and recognize your own emotions. In this latter case, it can be considered as an activity of the intellect (which isn't your consciousness) but there is still an element of transcending the physical you and merely observing yourself as you go about your business in the physical world.

[@ddana6797]

In your comment you mentioned "emotional intelligence where you become self aware.........." Question, what are the title of the books you're talking about?.

I really appreciate your talks Swamiji! Re: Evan Thompson - gives a talk at Google and flatly denies anything at all like Brahman. Has the typical buddhist view of only just 'Process all the way down creating whatever consciousness there is on the way.' I call that the same kind of inference based ontology as western science. Direct experience is not more than electrical brain juices. Glad I did not order the book. @27:38 you say that consciousness does not die. There is no way to understand that Thompson is saying this, regardless of any praise he gives the Upanishads. Much love to all there. Wish I could be there in person someday.

[@LostInThought2013]

After reading a lot and watching a lot of videos on Vedanta, I finally experienced what he was describing while watching this video. Like he said, there is a difference between knowing something intellectually and actually KNOWING it with every part of your being. Something about the way he described it here walked me right into the experience. Thank you so much for this.

[@ramangeethagopalakrishnan5383]

i was always thinking to whom/which is getting freed from cycle of life and birth. your answer really helped to clear out. Also it reinforces that consciousness is the one in which the world time , space appears. Somehow i should make it my 24/7 experience, For that what should be done, replays these(your words) words, .... (you might say i am looking for answer outside), Here mind/intellect freezes and who is aware of it?

What is the purpose of all the projection of life and living by the consciousness if the ultimate idea is to consider everything as an illusion and understand or merge into oneness of pure consciousness?

[@yogeetadeshmukh]

Recently got introduced to Swamiji's discourses..His way of teaching the eternal upanishadic teachings is absolutely divine. I had a question for Swamiji, and would be grateful for the answer..If consciousness is all prevading and is the ear of the ear and the eye of the eye, how can we explain what happens to brain dead people..With science taking the strides it is, soon, it would be possible to keep a body alive with artificial support for almost forever (theoretically). What about the consciousness, the atman ? Would it still be within the body ?

[@prashant-ul2sn]

You cannot keep body alive eternally, nothing is alive eternally because they are subject to change. Only unchanging think is pure consciousness. Brain dead people also has a first person experience, either as a deep sleep or only mind is experienced.

[@1oscarbravo]

The Atman is never in the body. The body is an appearance in Atman.

Swami ji, Can consciousness be compared to Cinema screen or a mirror?

[@meerabhide4888]

हरिःओम्, प्रणाम, स्वामीजी.

[@lnbartstudio2713]

Swamiji, Wonderful talk and please consider that panpsychism and Chalmers' panprotopsychism require that matter, or materialism, is the foundation of reality. This is true also of Thomas Nagel's and Galen Strawsen's ultimately dualistic but sophisticated theories. Any consciousness present here in this theoretically fundamental matter is always a reductionist property of matter. Max Tegmark is even on the lookout for the material substance "Perceptronium". (Seriously !) > According to Rational_Wiki - " The basic idea of panpsychism is analogous to pantheism, just replace "god" with "consciousness," so all matter, and by extension, the universe, is conscious. There have been variations on this theme stretching back to ancient times - it is similar to ancient religions based on animism." < This is not the way I understand The Upanishads. In the Upanishads, I understand that consciousness, or more correctly, Brahman, is the fundamental property of reality, certainly not matter. Matter, as perceptions or of objects of awareness or of Brahman, appear exactly and non-dually in Brahman. Well, anyway that is how I understood what you have been teaching. You so beautifully said: " Every conscious experience reminds you of the pure consciousness that you are." So wonderful! To me, this is the imcomparable truth of Advaita Vedanta. And this is not a possibility of panpsychism because every conscious experience would necessary remind you/me of some impermanent matter or organization of properties ( even gluten free :) ) of matter that is required to hold consciousness. Thanks.

[@priyaa__9711]

Swamiji you said their is no relationship between me and consciousness but I myself am the consciousness. This idea is great but then why do I feel that I got a secret help from a superpower when I was in a grave danger in my life, a help which was beyond the capacity of anyone or anything. I felt God at that time, and Thakur ramkrishna Paramhansa always was in a dual relationship with Maa Kaali. Did he ever say that I myself am Maa?

[@ankushchakraborty6027]

In deep sleep,neither the subtle body nor the physical body reflect consciousness through different perceptions. Consciousness rather reveals itself through lack of perception ( That's why we say , I had a very deep sleep!). After death the soul leaves the body but does not experience lack of perception.The subtle body starts to operate after death.

Sleep - Camera is on but not recording. Death - camera is shut down.
