Why Just ONE Consciousness? | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Why do we believe there is only one consciousness and not many? Swami Sarvapriyananda helps answer this question as part of an AskSwami session.

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.

Swami ji reminds me Kabir’s doha
“Kabir kuva ek hai, panihari anek
Bartan sab ke nyare bhaye par pani sabme ek”🙏🏻

Greetings from Bulgaria.
We were first in the World who translated Vedanta from Original Sanscrit to Modern languages.
We, here in Bulgaria, also have Vedas: Veda-Slovena :)

Pneuma (song title)

"We are spirit bound to this flesh
We go round one foot nailed down
But bound to reach out and beyond this flesh
Become Pneuma

We are will and wonder
Bound to recall, remember
We are born of one breath, one word
We are all one spark, sun becoming

Child, wake up
Child, release the light
Wake up now
Child, wake up
Child, release the light
Wake up now, child
(Spirit)
(Spirit)
(Spirit)
(Spirit)
Bound to this flesh
This guise, this mask
This dream"

[prathimasrinath]

Swamiji, thank you very much for very convincing talk. One question always bothets me. If conciousness is all pervading, boundaryless and everlasring with no death or birth, then what is reincarnation? What is that reborns again again? If it rebornd, it should have the boundary, and cannot be all pervading. Thanks.

When I say mind I mean consciousness the “mind” in terms of emotion and feelings is really just coming from the body so if there is only one mind why is there multiple separate experiences?

[arete]

I sometimes see all personas whether humans, spirits , gods.. as drawing sketches prior to adding the personality, essence is the same prior to taking on individual forms
