Remain Aware of Your True Nature | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda shares his insights on the practice of remaining aware of our true nature at all times.
This question was part of the 'Ask Swami Q&A' from Jan 6th, 2019:

ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.

ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.

I read "The Complete works of swami vivekanand" and found answer for this question that ""we must listen (read also) about this Atma till it mix with every drop of our blood"".

You are addressing the root cause of So called Problem DIRECTLY sir, you are not hitting at the bush, not dragging.... 🙏🙏🙏

Swamiji,
I learnt a lot from your lectures and benefitted. How do I ever repay the debt? I don't know. I can't even say God bless you because I am older than you. May people like you be there in every place where there is so much of suffering - caused by themselves and others.
I am a student of Ramakrisna Mission school - long time ago. I cherish that association.

Advaita Vedanta is 100% correct. All knowledge is indeed thru experience and then attaching a name to it. Just research the development of IBM Watson and you will see that this is how machine Learning works. Machine is fed thousands of example and told what its called. This is machine experiencing each item and attaching a name to it and then later even if it has not seen anything like it before it can still say what it is. This is the core of machine learning and same for how any person or animal learns.

[dalegriffiths]

Perfect... if you are experiencing you are in the now if you are remembering you are bringing forth the past.

[katherinejoseph]

I so appreciate these simple grounded examples. May “I” wake up to ‘my’ true nature; may all beings everywhere wake up to ‘their’ true nature. 🙏🏻. And may Swami be blessed with a long life.

[jitendermisra]

Thank you swami ji for the simple yet so profound insight you explained never have to remember and remind myself I am continuously experiencing myself is अनुभव. So there is no need of स्मृति for I need not remember and remind myself continuously that I am consciousness I have to always experience myself as consciousness but profound easy and at the same time how difficult....!!! प्रणाम स्वामीजी ।।

[evrsunny]

When you experience, you're experiencing experience. When you remember, you're experiencing memories. But the bottom line - there's always an experiencing going on. There can be an experience of absence but there cannot be an absence of experience. The TV screen is always On, the shows start & end.

[sachincs]

By far, this is the best teaching to not only understand but live the principles of Advaita.

Thank you for the right question.

Thank you Swamiji, please teach more on these lines, so that our living experience may reflect our true nature.
