All of it or None of it | Swami Sarvapriyananda

"I, the One, illumine this body and also reveal this universe. Therefore, mine is all this universe or indeed nothing is mine." Inspired by this verse from the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the nature of the Self.

Incredible. Exactly what I've been seeking. I lost my 22-year-old son 4 months ago. I've been searching for a new purpose who am I? I found you and these wonderful lectures on YouTube. This lecture on mind body matter and consciousness awareness is absolutely what I believe. You've clarified and opened my mind to a new possibility of why we are here and who am I. I'm just a new seeker on our journey trying to find the true nature of self. I wish you were here in Southern California I'd love to go to your lectures live everyday :-). Thank God we have YouTube and platforms like this so we can learn from you. Thank you so much you're a godsend in my life. 🙏🙏🙏

"All of it or none of it" reminds of Nisargadatta. “Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj.

33:15 The universe is a dream of MahaVishnu or the matter is like the dream of Consciousness i.e, Matter is an Appearance in Consciousness. And "That Thou Art." You are Consciousness. Our real nature is Consciousness alone. We are Brahman Alone. "God alone is, all is not." 🕉️♾️❤️🌟🧿

As i listened Swamiji speak, i fell asleep. I dresmt he was with my family, and spoke. It was Christmas... I listened to his enlightened discourse, but found my terribile memory could not hold on to his teachings. I was happy he was with us. Such a honour. He turned to look my way, and it was as if he looked deep into the recess of my being. I tried to hide my perceived littleness... Oh... What a long journey ahead... But one thing he uttered remained engraved. We will eventually all realize our real nature, since we are That! Tat Twam Asi.
Thank you for being with us, showering your knowledge upon us! May my mind, heart, soul and spirit embibe these eternal truths and live fully!

अद्वैत दर्शन, सर्वं ब्रह्म मयं जगत्। बौद्ध दर्शन, सर्वं शून्य मयं जगत्। जगत को शून्य मयं देखने वाला अनुभव करने वाला अर्थात किसी चेतन तत्व का होना सिद्ध हुआ। इसलिए पहला सत्य सिद्ध हुआ। पूज्य स्वामी जी को सादर प्रणाम

Thousands & thousands years Indian saints discovered & realized the highest spiritual truth which even the modern day scientists & phylosophers can't right way dismiss, still west consider the ancient Indians & Indian culture was most primitive, but, on the contrary, it was just the opposite!
Ancient India was more civilized when rest of the world was in primitive stage.
Time has come to acknowledge the greatness of Vedas, Upnisads, Bramasutra & Sri Gita.

50:18 This entire universe is Consciousness only. ❤🎉 57:18

[mahanteshs]

They say, That cannot be explained in language. Swamiji proved it wrong.

[qubitcream]

Master's Blaster lecture!! I could not follow the speed during the live session due to the content's richness and I lagged almost an hour on the live session. Thank You Maharaj!

[oldnewsglory]

As soon as I heard the subject spoken by Swamiji I had a sudden sense of knowing that I am something other than this body - the body is just a sort of focus point of the rest of the universe, but was no different than it - and entirely different from 'me'.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I've read 2 copies of Ashtavakra Gita and didn't get it like this.

"The whole of Vedanta is presented to me by Swami. I was so unlucky not to see it before, but so lucky seeing it now"

[johnathanedwards]

Thank you Swami Sarvapriyananda, for having grace on all who have ears and hear, who have eyes and see. Advaita Vedanta is like a shade giving tree, it reveals to us our real Self and thereby protect us from the scorching sun of samsara. Blessings be upon you Swami Ji!

[csprasadzinjurde]

I consider myself most lucky because I have such enlightened and knowledgeable elders

[ronjohnson]

This is definitely one of Swamiji's greatest hits!

[dineshsvlog]

Extraordinarily revealing; taking the listener to the heart of truth!
There are no words for expressing one’s gratitude and gratefulness to Swamiji.

[ashasahadew]

Pranams SwamiJi. I look forward to your lectures like a little girl eagerly waiting for her next surprise. Your words of wisdom always put so beautifully is food for my soul. Touching your feet, living up to your words is my dream (in which ever state...waking, dream or deep sleep...I will be happy).
