Of all the Satsans on KZfaq I find Sarvaprianandji's seminars are easy to understand.I am part of a Satsang group in Statenisland for the last 6-7 years and most of my questions are answered just listening to him in seminars or question and answer sessions OF ALL THE SEMINARS ,THE PRESENT SERIES ON APAROKSHANUBHUTI ARE SUCH AN EYE OPENING THAT I CAN NOT DESCRIBE IN WORDS.

In Tamil language hymns one saint speaks for whom there is no name and form we call in thousands of name. The name and form are reflected consciousness and sentient beings. Swamiji delivers brahmo upadesam. Namaskaram

Sairam Swami Sarvpriyananda ji. I would like to humbly ask you when will you give more talks on Ashtavakra book. You have only given one on ch 5.And one more at some other place. Many of us are eagerly waiting to learn more from that book. Thanks for every thing you are teaching. It is a blessing for all of us who are walking this life changing path of Advaita Vedanta with you. Please even off and on teach a chapter from Ashtavakra once in a while. Sairam. Thanks. Asha.

Consciousness in a mind posture happened to overlook its own infinite and nondual reality. It is consciousness vs consciousness all the down to the subject and objects dualities.

Pronaams! 🙏🏼 The distinction between sentient & insentient entities is made by performing unwitting Turing tests on them. Very small children often attribute sentience to insentient entities.

The wood podium analogy does not refer to who made podium out of wood or at least how is it made. That means there is an entity between wood and podium. So, such analogy is not adequate. Being a professor of Physics, I find a better analogy in the phenomenon called " Vacuum Fluctuation " in which things can be spontaneously created and annihilated out of vacuum.

But if Brahman is self-luminous as Consciousness is self-luminous It doesn't need to know Itself as an object.

@AlejandroGarcia-ek3uy 5 жыл бұрын

Then Brahman is very imperfect and limited: must produce this world of suffering to know Itself as a lie, Maya, and finally must escape from this nightmare and falsehood by realization. Does not make any sense.
