BRAHMAN & TAO | The Ultimate Reality Beyond God

When Westerners hear about the ultimate reality within Eastern philosophy and spirituality, they often confuse it with the idea of God. But the ultimate reality in the East is not a creator who is judging our lives according to a set of beliefs. The ultimate reality in the East is related to the way of nature and it is the substratum of the universe, a supreme consciousness that is eternal and dwells within all of our beings as one. This substratum has been termed Brahman and Tao, which many people have heard me mention and at times explain in my videos. In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer a few questions regarding the nature of Brahman and Tao, what are they? Are they the same? Are they in any way related to the Abrahamic religious understanding of God? All will be revealed.

I have experienced being brahman and Tao, and I am convinced that Tao is the way brahman learns more about itself . We are infinite!!!

[ujjwalbhatt]

As always crystal clear explanation, thank you so much, Jason. Love from India.

[maheshvarma]

One of the best explanations on brahman and ishvara. Such clarity comes only from experience and not from theory.

Brother you could never bore us 🙏🏾❤💫🌟☀️ om shanti

For those who want to know. If you go far into the bliss you merge with it. I went far enough just before merging. There are no words. Freedom from all things. There is only one

Namaskar Jason. I m a born Hindu and did not care about the principle of sanatan dharma much and did nothing more than only worshipping diety for worldly pleasure.But as I am maturing Iam slowly realising what eastern philosophy is. I am presently in path of practicing spiritual meditation and truly relate to your understanding of eastern spiritualism. I can clearly see that you are on a higher level to spiritual consciousness. I believe with this amount of clarity of mind, if you meditate and realise yourself, you will be enlighten very soon. You truely are one of my aspiration. And I believe you will help many people of west to truely be a seeker and be enlighten and be oneness with the ultimate to find eternal bliss.Also to know who they are (atma), to look beyond the body, and not to only look outward in the world of duality, in search of temporary happiness and pleasure. Feel pity how abrahamic philosophy have not allowed them know the cosmic energy and who we as conscious being are. Please give them various technique of self realisation, such as (spiritual meditation) which may help in the process of enlightment.I feel you as the right soul to show the way to the west. Om shanti shanti shantihi.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great explanation have a way of breaking it down to a simply level of understanding. Which most of us who are following the way need.

[alejandrowarrez]

I 100% agree with you thank you for sharing this opinion.

[ayellaabwot]

Jason thank you very much for your selfless work. It has helped steady my mind. I also listen to Eckhart Tolle, I do find most of his teachings a depiction of Eastern Spirituality. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Have a wonderful 2021. Emma from Uganda.

Amazing video, dude. Beautiful stuff.

[dazzlingchick]

I recently subbed when I found this channel. I must leave a comment and say these teachings are Fantastic! Crystal clear and perfectly articulated. Thank you from the infinity of my heart. ~Love&Light💖Carli

[yoshi]

Please do more videos on this subject, I found it really inspiring, reassuring, and interesting.

[swissever]

Great explanation. I feel it's a weird topic to be discussed on YouTube

[neimarization]

I think the abrahamic religions are given in and for Kali yuga, when the human consciousness is at the lowest level. Commands and instructions for people deep in Maya.
However, there were some scholars and teachers who were connecting the abrahamic god with Brahman. For instance sufi scholars like Rumi or Al Arabi. When you read their teachings you understand that God is everything and in everyone and we are drops in an endless ocean, where drop is of the same content as the ocean.

[Anime-Face.]

Thank you for this! I have been trying to piece what the Tao and brahaman are so this was really helpful.

[MartialX]

Perfect explanation. When one can explain profound truths simply, it means they have truly lived a part of it. 🙏

[birgitbofarull]

So liberating to be reminded of our nothingness and our infinity! Thank you dear Jason! Shanti, shanti!
