In my Near Death Experience many years ago, the Being of Light showed me the true nature of reality, and it was just as you've said. So called hard objects were floating particles you could put your hand through. Everything was made of Love. Trees were pastel colors made of Love. Everything was! Even today, I still remind myself that the tree in front of me is really pink, and that one is blue, and it's ALL Love. I don't want to forget it. When people transfer to the higher realm, they are in for a tremendous experience. Thanks for your video.

Beautiful insights as we realize the third dimension is not a trap from which to escape but rather a training ground for consciousness to expand and learn to move and create and live as conscious beings.

The bliss and celestial joy , I get from his lucid and excellent lecture cannot be expressed in any human language. Glory to the great swamijee.

Your gentle tone and mannerisms invite the viewer in to sit a spell and listen closely. The wisdom shared is expansive and stays with the viewer long after the video has ended.

I am still exploring different spiritual paths such as Theravada B.and Advaita Vedanta. I am enjoying Swami Tadatmananda's teachings and guidance specially his clear and concise teaching style. Thanks Swamiji! 🙏 You are a light!

Thank you very much. I never had an easy time meditating because my mind would go all over the place. Your illustration finally made perfect sense and help me see my two states of being. One in this world with me the true observer in Brahma! Thank you so much! Peace and love to you my brother!

Heartfelt thanks Swami-ji😇 This must be a question in every seeker's mind! Only an enlightened Master can explain such a profound mystery so simply.

Thanks Swamiji, I learned a lot from this video.

Thank you, Swamiji. In Nididhyasana today, your words and Swami Dayananda's - "Brahma satyam, jagan mitya" "Jagat is derived from the roots 'jan' - to be born, and 'gam' - to go. Jagat is 'that which is born and which then goes.'" "Brahma is translated as absolute reality, from the root 'brh' - 'to inrease, to grow large." The noun means 'bigness'. Nothing quaifies or limits that bigness. It is unconditionally big. It has no form or limitation whatsoever. Parambrahma is not limited by space and time, and that is indeed adhyatma, or atma, existence, consciousness, fullness that is the truth of the individual." Respect and gratitude.

Beautifully lucid and compelling. Swamiji is a clear channel for truth. Many thanks.

Salutations, Guruji. Beautifully done video and ending. Much gratitude for your hard work. Om Shanti 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Oh my can i say Swamiji is my Guru on Line :)))) these videos are indispensable ! Thank You is simply not enough i am speechless

Meditation of whichever kind is very useful. After you have reached a certain level of mastery in the ability to focus on your meditation, you may want to consider the following to deeepen your practice. Meditating on "Brahman is real" is more or less a mental exercise. The next level is to consider who is the one that is meditating. This is atma vichara as recommended by Sri Ramana Maharshi. He advocate the question who am I to serve as reminder to get hold of the feeling of one's own being or one own's awareness and try to hold onto it for as long as possible like we do in meditation. In other words, instead of meditating and holding onto a thought, a sound or an image, we are holding onto the sense of our own being. It's a very very powerful meditation.

I’ve really missed your presence in my life. I’m so grateful that this showed up in my feed.

Enchantingly eye-opening... Soothing & Reassuring! Thank you Swami Tadatmananda

Thank you Swami. Love to you and appreciation for your excellent teachings 🙏

Thank you my brother Master for your clarity, simplicity and your deep teachings that point the ultimate reality... the infinite Self! Your light shines on my way....

This is the best explanation on reality that I’ve seen. I’ve watched a lot of science videos but this does a great job to help tie it all together.

Thank you for your teachings. Last summer i started meditation. I have been searching for more information and here it is. So much beautiful information, wow. I totally understand your teachings and find recognition. A lot i find out myself just by looking at the world in a mystical way. I just found you an few days ago so have a lot video's to watch. Love it. Thank you thank you!! 🙏🍀🦋

Totally absorbing. Such an experience for the first time in my life. Life changing experience.🙏🙏

Very nice teaching Swamiji! Thank-you and Hari Om!

Please consider recording in a higher Quality (4K) please I love watching your videos on the big screen 🙏😊

Thank you Swamiji your explanation are intuitive and easy to understand, arising from your experience of presence and awareness, rather than just the mind and theory, we are grateful

Awesome videos Swamiji ! Thank you for your sewa in spreading this wondrous ancient knowledge. Pranam 🙏🌺

I like this very simple and clear explanation of our sense of reality. I don’t agree that we stop dreaming when we are awake. It’s just that our conscious experiences of the outside world tend to hide our dreaming much like on a clear sunny day the sunlight hides the much weaker light from the stars in the sky. The stars are there. We just can’t see them for the bright sunlight. If you go into a deep well in daytime you can see the stars in the sky. Ancient people understood this. So we are dreaming all the time and when our attention is arrested when we are awake we begin to “daydream”. We think we are consciously controlling the content of the daydream but it’s really that we just became aware of what we were thinking subconsciously. All this came to the fore for me as about five years ago I started to suffer from non spasmodic narcolepsy. I could fall asleep for 30 seconds and dream during that time and still do though I take dugs to stay awake so I can function. This was the result of a stroke that left me permanently compromised on my left side. I think my brain began to function differently too as I can perceive things others can’t. Not that mystifying. I mean my brain interprets things differently and it can be annoying. On a bright day not exactly sunny but also a sunny day like today, Apr 20 2022, if I go outside the whole roadway and sidewalks appear to be sparkling with millions of tiny sequins. I think it’s the sand grains in the pavement. Your brain filters that out. Mine doesn’t. I have to wear sunglasses as it’s extremely annoying. At the same time I have acquired a bit of a calendar memory you might have heard some autistic people have like in the movie “ Rainman”. I see patterns in dates and can project them into the future. I detected the calendar on this iPad is inaccurate going back passed 1905. Check it out yourself unless Apple fixed it. I tried to tell them but it’s impossible to contact them. I discovered a numerical pattern on Feb 22 this year that will never repeat again in the lifetime of the universe. I tried to tell others but they treated me like I was crazy. They couldn’t see it. As they say I might be crazy but I’m not stupid. I stopped trying to tell people these sort of things. Nothing special happened last Feb 22. It was just an average Tuesday or Twos Day. It was 02/22/2022. Nothing special there. What’s for dinner? What do you think happened at 2 AM 02/22/2022? I woke up exactly at that time and looked at the clock when the thought occurred to me. So to sum up. We are dreaming 24/7 but just not aware of it when we are awake. But those dreams do affect our conscious thoughts and decisions. Here’s a rule of thumb about dreams: dreams often tell us what is missing in our lives whether we know it or not. If you are starving you may dream of eating a big banquet. As the Greeks say they are the opposite of reality. But more than that they tell you what’s missing in your life which is why you may dream of a dead relative or friend. You miss them and what they contributed to your life. That could be good or bad. Often it’s hard to understand what it is because our mind refuses to interpret the symbolism out of fear of discovery about ourselves things we don’t want to know. But it’s only in the conscious state you can do anything about it. However our subconscious never sleeps. It’s working 24/7 thinking about problems or our interpretation of the world around us or our social relationships. Sometimes the solution can come up in a dream as mathematical or puzzle solutions have come up in mine. Not the direct solution but symbolically that awake since understand was the answer I was looking for. The thing is such solutions can be far more comprehensive than you thought.

Swamiji you are truly a great teacher. Your explanations are so clear.

Yes, your control of your judgements is the dream of all your listeners. We wish we could do that ALL the time.

Thank you Swami Tadatmananda, for pouring profound spiritual wisdom from your lotus feet. For the last couple of weeks if not months I have used many different kinds of meditation from your inner journey playlist and I think this particular Nididhyasana in this video (after having watched the video) is such a blessing. Thank you. One day I want to visit you, love from Germany to all people.

Much love to all of you /\. Thank you Swamiji.

Thanks Swamiji for a wonderful video and the knowledge that you have shared with us. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍

Thanks for a clear and simple explanation. Once you understand quantum mechanics you realise that this material world is just a quantum field in empty space. However even space time and the quantum field will be realised by science to be an illusion.

Perfect confrontation between scienze and oriental teachings. Your videos are really a treasure!

The world is my ideas and their representations because what I believe about life and the universe becomes true for me.

Absolutely wonderful, Swamiji 🙏🙏

Pranam Swamiji! Thank you is not adequate but constrained by words I will use those very words to thank you for the lucid explanation and meditation.

I always pondered this fact even after reading the scriptures, much of my doubts have now been dispelled. Thank you Swamiji

Wow. For sometime I was contemplating "reality" and this explanation was so clear and so direct. I truly appreciate this talk. Thank you 🙏

Pujya Gurudev Swami Tadatmananda ji , the guided meditation at the end of the video is very powerful. It is like , pujya gurudev,holding the hands of shisyas and taking them towards enlightenment! I do it every day! Anant koti naman Gurudev! Anant Koti dhanyvaad Gurudev! 🙏🕉🔔🪔🦢🪷💐🦢🪷💐🦢🪷💐🦢🪷💐🦢🪔🔔🕉🙏

Dreams are real that's why you have feelings when you dream or wake,it's you experiencing another reality,sometimes our dreams give us messages or helps us problem solve,like your dreams this reality is a dream just like your dreams.

Used to work at a hifi repair shop .Someone brought in a receiver for service . The wood panels on it had a sticker " Genuine Simulated Walnut Veneer " .

I've experienced the exact same examples, precisely. I view psychedelics to be a stepping stone, or door opener to the deeper level of reality. Becoming Conscious is a lengthy, slow process. I like all his examples because they are accurate, from my perspective. I have one Buddhist friend who has become Conscious through studying the Dharma and meditation. We met when in our 20s, both seeking another life experience. In fact, he introduced me to meditation in Boulder, CO. He controls his emotions better than I, and is far more patient and understanding of those unconscious. I attribute these qualities to his years of studying the Dharma. I became Conscious accidentally through pain, suffering, and forgiveness. I believe many people throughout the world are Conscious from having experienced difficult lives; yet, they have had no exposure to Spiritual teachings, or psychological insight. This vid is one of my favorites because of the beautiful descriptions of our sense of Outer Reality and Inner Reality. The reality created from our sensations is difficult to maintain, just as he explains. Sometimes, I just shut it down because going back and forth is confusing; as if one must join a monetary or community of like minded souls. Then what, deny outer reality completely? I have not been able to resolve these concerns, personally.

One has to be well educated like Swamy Tadatmananda Ji to explain science & Vedanta threadbare.

Thank you Swami Tadatmanada!

Pranam swamiji. Thank you for another great video. Grateful to you. 🙏

I get it! And its the most incredible feeling you could ever describe. Now how do i stay sane and present watching all these completely miserable people around me who aren't even curious to ask these questions. I have a child Im rising and a family to provide for. Walking thru a store full of zombies is intensely painful. The more i wake up the more the constant misery bothers me. Now What!

Thank you so much for what you do! I really enjoy your teaching.

ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः । 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

24:55 and the meditation that followed really helped me. Thank you!

I’m really glad I heard this talk, your words might be just a small piece of the overall reality too and yet they stirred within me an understanding of a reality which is greater than we witness under “normal” circumstances. Now I have a better sense of the possibilities without experience. Yes experience will be the ultimate goal but a theoretical understanding of this kind shows that even these normal circumstances are left unexplored by so many of us and how the right words can really stir the pot.

Every time you return to the dream world it’s a different world ; a different dream ,whereas each time you awaken from the dream world the story continues on from where you left off when you went sleep. So the experience is not the same . Is there something here I don’t understand.

Thank you Swamiji! Om Shanti! 🙏

I listen to guruji at 2x and the experience is much better 🙏🏻

Such a deep teaching.

Wow... Amazing.. Many thanks for this clarification.. I now have a better understanding of Avicenna's theory of essence and existence

So beautiful, thank you so much for your instruction and meditation practice!

"There is no end to the minuteness which can be unveiled through physical investigation, simply for the fact that it's the investigation itself that chops things into pieces." Alan Watts

Thank you, Swamiji! 🙏

No words, just gratitude x x

I found listening to the explanations at 1.75x speed was more comprehensible than at normal speed. However, I did slow it down to normal speed during the meditation section at the end. The explanations are simple and obvious, and we know all of that when we stop to think about it. The problem is that for most people they never think about it at all because they are trapped in continuous distractions of sensory input from the external world. Meditation is the only cure to break the illusion. Excellent video, especially the first part which explains the nature of “reality” and illusion.

I am grateful for this video. I started meditating 1 or 2 times a day almost a year ago. I went from meditating for 20 minutes to meditating for one hour or one and a half hours. Then almost 2 weeks ago I stopped. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because I thought I could have a certain guru who left his body years ago and then I found out I could not. I enjoy meditating most of the time. Thank you for providing a way to meditate with you.

Namaskar Swami ji, Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

The guided nididhyasana was extraordinary. Thank you.

The simulation hypothesis encapsulates the concept we live inside a simulation. Like any simulation model, simulations can operate inside simulations. The matrix is like a feedback loop of a guitar amplifier; we only break free of the mistakes on this earthly plane, once we break the cycle. Much like the guitar amplifier, we turn down the volume and go within ourselves to learn to listen. The quieter we are, the more we hear. We only gain higher consciousness through love, the highest frequency and challenging our beliefs.

Thank you thank you thank you. Love to listen to your teachings and guided meditations. Thank you. Om shanti shanti shanti

Great content! Thanks for a new perspective 🙏🏾

the close up shows your kind and happy eyes..

Pronam Swamiji, It was beautiful. Gratitude

Guru Bramha Guru Visnu Gurudevo Maheswaraha 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Like from a childhood when I see foreign countries I was thinking I was I not born there Why India Why didn't I born in USA What a life In USA Or London but Today When I really Questioned myself about my existence Than I realised How lucky I am to be born in India and in a hindu Family But don't practice anything that was there in real teaching of this culture today's life style is totally Western we just workship with that old famous but we knew nothing That me be because of colonialism and many more factors but today when See the real science about my own culture my eyes gets watery 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Om namah Shivay Om

In my opinion, in your direct experience, there are no illusions other than the thoughts you apply to the situation you’re in. All experiences are real, they just appear differently as you immerse yourself.

I have never heard any swamiji describing the most complex realities of existence, so simply

Thank you so much! ❤️🙏❤️

I had the same experiences with earthquakes and seeing the ground roll in Japan during the Tohoku quake. This was a powerful connection for me in this lesson. Thank you.

An wonderful eye opening video. Thanks Swamiji.

Wow.. This video hit me pretty hard. It got me thinking of, what if we lived in our "dream reality" our whole lives. We can do anything we could imagine, but not intentionally, like our dreams. Can't feel another person's touch, can do things you really want to in that life but couldn't. I bet any amount of money, most people in that reality, would do anything to somehow be in the reality we are now. We can live, touch, smell, taste, doing whatever we wanted to do with full control. Anyway, I think we take this one we have for granted and don't realize our true potential WITH all this control and give senses most are blessed with and if not, they're usually the ones that are very thankful for the senses and body parts they do have left. I know I take mine for granted.....

thanq swamigi,excellent explaniation and meditatyion as usal.

It really helped to get the mind focused away from Ukraine and every day stuff. Thank you🙏

I have to say here that even though I kind of know the wisdom of ancient Hinduism , for a long while I hadn't seen an intelligent video like this. Please make more videos to help the lost people in this illusionary world 🌎

Reality is whatever continuously replicates. The word refers to our external experience in the sense of material consensus. Reality-to-us is the story we tell ourselves about that experience, more or less.

This topic absolutely ultimate, thank you Swami for your teaching

Thank you so much for the video swamiji. Excellent flow, pretty deep explanations made easy..have not listened to any such pristine videos in the recent times at all 🙏🙏💐. Sheer jewel.

I’m a science educator. This video is fantastic. Thank you for helping others explore how the brain constructs our experience of reality. ❤

Your example of the person repeatedly reminding her friend, "It is only a movie" is very helpful for me. Thank you for this. I'm still puzzled - "Why does the table FEEL solid? The hand is repelled by the table." I'm not clear how the hand being repelled by the table answers the question of why the table feels solid. Thank you for all your teaching and guidance.

Amazing voice and great video. 🙏 Thank you

Extraordinary! 🌅 Thank you so much Swami Ji... Fantastic Video and Precious Meditation 🙏💖🕉 Namasté... we gonna dub to spanish 😊🙏

SOOO HELPFUL!🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU!😍💕✨

I know many people want or are used to our fast paced world of speech and processing. But not all of us can do it or understand it at that pace. Thank you...for your style, manner, wisdom and heart.

Brilliant! thanks for sharing your wisdom. God bless!

Excellent video and insightful teaching.Thank you. I always wondered what the Eastern paths meant when they said the world is Maya or illusion. You made it very easy for me to finally understand this concept. I experienced different levels of Samadhi during my meditation and contemplation practice. I also experienced Kundalini awakening 22 years ago. It seems there are gradations or levels of samadhi. One level I experienced was a realm of pure Golden Light. The Light radiated love and ecstacy, which pierced every cell of my body, I looked at my body and it was made of Light, I still had form but it was not my human form. I was in the form of a Light Body, I perceived myself as an individual spiritual being (atman) yet I was part of the Source (Brahman) and was made of the same stuff. I think this was a lower level of samadhi because I could still perceive myself as an Individual. There was still very slight subject/object relations. I also experienced the Oneness and I was that Oneness. That Oneness was my Self..my ultimate identity. I think this objectless awareness was a higher samadhi because there was no longer subject/object awareness. I wonder if there are higher levels than this?

Beautifully done.

this is very well presented. thanks!

Om. Thank you, Swami-ji.

thank you thank you for all your insight & teachings!

it is explained very clearly . thank you a lot to sharing such precious darma knowledge.

Thank you for taking thro the meditations.

The experience you speak of that is necessary to "see" the World beyond all illusions is understanding. There are various ways in which we can reach that understanding.

I am listening to this daily while I am going through a medical event. Thanks for making this excellent video and meditation.

Fantastic flow! Swamiji
