When accused of being mad, bhagwan ramakrishna paramhansa said: 'how is it possible for the one who thinks of consciousness all the time to lose consciousness?' For the one who has realized, he alone has woken up. To him, all of the world looks like a mere dream, a mere play of the divine dreamer (mother, as sri ramakrishna called it). The brahmajnana path involves self enquiry(who am I ?) and is meant to dissolve the questioner. Simple as it seems, the path of jnana is not at all easy. It requires us to reject all and search for the supreme. It requires discrimination - saying neti to all that is not the divine consciousness. The path of bhakti, on the other hand is easy. It involves the directing of all feelings-good and bad to god alone- the feelings of santa, Dasya, sakhya, vatsalya and madhur. To the one who thinks of himself as in relationship with god, and thinks that all there is (this world and its beings) belong to god alone, loves all as they are all god's. In him the whole of god consiousness manifests, and all, including the attachment to this little self, dissolves in the fire of bhakti and he attains to immortality. For him all has become god including himself. That's why you would not see as many sannyasis in India as Bhaktas from all around. Almost every household pursues bhakti in subtle or strong form. May this land be blessed with holy places from all the religions always. Om namah shivaya.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Most delightful 13 minutes of learning

Devotion (bhakti) is the poetry of the soul, and knowledge (jñana) is the poet who represents it with ideas, and both are the divine arms that embrace the existence of the Self.
All glories to Swami Sarvapriyananda who brings divine poetry and supreme understanding to all of us.

Swami Sarva Priyananda is probably the greatest Indian philosopher after Swami Vivekananda. 🙏🏽

Swamiji's responses to questions are always laced with wit, self-effacing humor and, most important of all, penetrating insights. But this one takes the cake (or cookie!!). Thanks to Swamiji for pointing out in what sense does Advaita term the world we experience to be "false" and how the understanding of it offers a direct path to enlightenment. Yet, I yearn for the next "Ask Swami" session!

Thank you Swami for your consistent pointing to the ultimate reality. I’ve been watching for years now, often leaving for multiple months at a time, but you are always there for me to come back to, reminding me that “that thou art!” Much love ❤️

Swamijee, I had a dream that I was stuck up at parapet wall of house. It was so narrow that i was scarring to be there for longer time, neither I could jump up and climb on terrace nor I could take a decision of jumping down on ground ( considering more distances) suddenly I realised that such thing can not happen, I must be dreaming and as soon as I wake up I will find that I am safe on my bed but still neither I could wake myself up, nor could open the eyes. Hence decided that I should jump down (as climbing on terrace tried but could not succeed.) Even knowing that this is 100% dream, I scared of jumping down. But within next 5 minutes I woke up. This was my first time experience of knowing that I am dreaming. What is the meaning of above.

What an aesthetic exposition for Advaitha, THE BRAIN-TONIC, in these days of modern science!
Rajju Sarpa Bhraanthi, leaving rajju, the rope, for reality for fear less amusement of the Rest Of Life!!
Simply SUPERB!!!
