"The objects of knowledge, viz., sound, touch, etc., which are perceived in the waking state, are different from each other because of their peculiarities; but the consciousness of these, which is different from them, does not differ because of its homogeneity." Inspired by this verse from the book, Pancadasi by Vidyaranya (Ch 1, Verse 3), Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on direct path of Advaita Vedanta.

Just when I think I have probably heard the best of Maharaj’s lectures, he outdoes himself. Never ending bliss!

In many talks like this one, when Swamiji in the end says "May we attain enlightenment and its results in this very life itself", it gives me immense strength, peace and hope. 🙏

I am a math teacher and also a great lover of Advaita Vedanta. I use to explain it to my friends using a logic statement and it’s converse: Example The statement “If I live in Miami then I live south of New York” is a true statement but it’s converse “If I live south of New York then I live in Miami” is obviously false. Similarly the statement “If an object is it exist inside consciousness” is a true statement even for a person like Richard Dawkins but it’s converse “If consciousness is then it exists inside objects” is false because I can be conscious in absence of objects. As obvious as 2 + 2 = 4

One of the most intensified speech by Swamiji. This one is one of those previous classy lecture of "Lamp of Bliss" where he explained how a False bondage is corrected by a false liberation within a false superimposed existence generated by a knowledge within the superimposition and we know we are always Brahman as Consciousness is existence itself. Matter is an appearance in Consciousness. Our freedom is ever Real our Bondage is never.. & followed by Nondual awakening where he said how Karma and Bhakti Yoga helps in de-superimposition.

Dear Swami, your message is not reaching to everyone, some one might not understand english but has equal potential to understand vedanta. For them it is very unfair. I would request to start dubbing your lectures in other languages. You are from india but there are masses of indians who are not getting benefitted from your wisdom.

Hari Om. You have taught that 'All is God'. Swami Vivekanand said, 'I taught God only is, all is not'.

Swamiji has outdone himself in this lecture. No one can now claim that they do not theoretically understand non dual vedanta after listening to such a powerful speech.

The brain & body CALLS FORTH consciousness but consciousness also calls in all material perceptions. We live in a self-resolving paradox machine where each moment in our lives is the reconciliation of two contradictory circumstances. In this reality, the biology of the human body works to summon & house consciousness. When the biology stops working properly, the consciousness leaves the body. While consciousness is in the body it illuminates all material perceptions. There is a third factor at play that facilitates both physical manifestations & consciousness itself.
