My poetic soul recently said, "AI will start the nuclear war." It is Human Intelligence that MUST fight back against its own destruction. I no longer have a cellphone. I do NOT watch TV, nor listen to radio, I try to "be in control" of the media I CHOOSE to use - no mindless having devices streaming content. I do listen to music on CDs that I am familiar with, and I connect with my musical consciousness beyond the words running in my brain. "Music without words" is more relaxing without the verbal messaging. "Knowing a song" and singing and playing along is therapeutic. Background music usually attracts me in, like a television in a room that attracts my eyes to the moving images. I do listen to music while writing, it really needs to be without words.
Yeah I too always gets absorbed with chants the vibration have more meaning when you explore more the name will have more meaning . So do chants occur repeatedly to listen it again and again and be with bliss , understand our vision and relation with lord and do the service with chants continually as much we can .
@@Oatmeal. Aha - I re-read it, and you're right. No tv, cell or media, etc. but computer is not mentioned. Good catch. I thought it was funny. That makes sense though. 🤣😆
@@barbarawarren9443 lol. thanks for taking my comment for what it was and having a laugh about it, yourself.. it's hard to correct people on the internet nowadays, everyone thinks your attacking them.. anyways. Cheers and hope your holiday season is being kind to you and your family. 💙😇
I think at the end of the day it is ultimately the same because it’s always our brain which is interpreting, analyzing, feeling, understanding and influencing anything we do, think etc 😂 😂 😂 anything se live is processed by the brain: the IN and the OUT.
This reminds of the recent incident in a train in America, where a woman was raped and none of the passengers took any action to help the victim. So the lack of compassion in the world of smart phone users is already around us.
That's really a very sad and very fitting example of what these digital distractions do to humanity. I let my not-so-smart-phone stay at home unless I know I have to use it, like for making an appointment on the road. Done this for some years now, and never missed having it with me :-). But then, I'm of a generation that grew up without those gadgets, having just one phone - on a cord - at home for the whole family. Good old times! :-)
Ya, that really gets on my nerves. People can stick their camera in everyone's faces and invade our privacy through surveillance technology, yet when a crime is committed no-one sees that. Where I am staying, employer and employees both alike , including outsiders have been surveilling & criminalizing me, but when my money got stolen, no one saw, when one of the volunteers ransacked a drawer and "happened" to walk away with something that belonged to me, no-one said anything or saw it, but when I get angry and have a moment/outburst, they're busy recording all of that. It goes to show how corrupt and racist the people are.

@@jowlorenz9555 Ya, today was another day they latched onto leech off my soul. Wherever I go they follow and gain access into the security/surveillance system...even to watch me in the bathroom. They're so greedy for power it is unbelievable that they need to be tracking/stalking me everywhere I go to pull on my soul energy, so I can't do anything I need to do, but sit in a slump. If I'm here where I stay they latch on and dehumanize me. If I go out to the library they do the same. If I sit in a coffee shop or some public space they're come in when I'm not there to wire it so they can spy on me if I go there again, so I have no peace anywhere I go to sit. They won't even let me read a book. So, ya I'm seeing this is getting really gassy and hot. Thanks for your reply...letting me know I'm not alone in this. Others are well aware of this too.
I expected a more focused reply with more examples from Swami Sarvapriyananda, he being so erudite. And he could have taken us through that shloka that the IFS officer, didn't get fully.
Brilliant! Raja Yoga: Attention Karma Yoga: Compassion Bhakti Yoga: Love for Truth Jnana Yoga: Wisdom, Self-knowledge. All the four Yogas are contained in Atma-Vichara.
@@davidm1149 Thank you, I believe that people feel they are doing the right thing because they think our government is helping them and doing a good thing.. The government is suppose to be for the people, so people have not known anything else but to support whatever the government says to do… What people should realise is! We’ve come to a time where people (even myself) need to start making changes this year, and to dig deep down finding their purpose.. I found mine, I’m just working out how to get it started. 😊
You are very correct sir and well spoken. I'm a Christian and I have been having the same conversation with like minded people for a long time now. The whole thing is becoming scary and I wish other spiritual leaders would see this clip and share the same message within their congregation before it's too late..... You know what you are talking about , more wisdom and understanding to you sir 🙏

Born of a virgin martyred after living a sinless life then he rose from the dead and sits on the right hand of God. He spent his earthly life teaching other about salvation healing the blind rising the dead and trying to provide humanity the knowledge of a loving God and creator of the earth and provide information on how to be live and connect with the creator through a set of commandments and testimonies
I was waiting for this. Swami Sarvapriyanda ji is well known for his articulation skills both. He has a huge fan following both in the east and in the West

Swamiji, thank you so much for this talk. I have been feeling that AI is undermining us, and I was interested in hearing your take on it. I managed to pay attention in spite of all the AI distractions: "Subscribe!", "Buy Books", "Click here", etc. It was almost as if these interruptions were designed on purpose to show just how right you are!

I did read a book by a British author few years ago on the potential physiological, psychological impacts of smart devices, gaming, social media on the minds of people especially younger generation. This video takes a step further delving on Spirituality and it's bang on it's message. Great talk by Swamiji.
@@hpan9425... For YOU to read : Is Hotel California about Silicon Valley By: Piya Bose She explained the meaning behind the lyrics. What wasn't known at the time was there is a Hotel California in Florence, Italy, a Papal State.
This is a really nice video talking about distraction and how to avoid it. Swami Sarvapriananda is great teacher and I love his videos. Unfortunately on this channel, I kept getting distracted with the “bell icon” asking me to hit notification! 😆.. best example of distraction!
Pranams to Swami and Malhotra ji. Exemplary, deep observation, serious concern are worth absorbed by youth. Ultimately we decide our own destiny by our intelligence and action. 🙏
I was explaining the same thing to my dad and he kept on disagreeing with me. Your video came out at the right time. Hope he agrees with me after watching this video. P.S. he follows Swami Sarvapriyananda.
Your father is not handling the trust as social media and the entire media, and internet does not handle the truth well. I think he’s not spiritually awakening and if he is. Why does he keep on disagreeing when he can agree anyway he want?
Yes, even monks and priests are not the same anymore. Pre smartphone era I used to admire their stillness and centeredness. I wanted to learn what they had got. Now they are all quivering with agitation just like everyone else, because of the phones in their hands.
There is no contradiction between using technology and being spiritual. Everyone alive in a civilisation is dependent on technology, be it the plough or the smart phone. Unless you are claiming that the only way to be spritual is living in the wilderness living off the land and waiting for death, using some form of technology is inevitable. The difference is not in whether one is _using_ technology, but whether one is a _slave_ to it. In a way, as technology becomes more and more addictive, it becomes easier to tell the truly spiritual ones from the rest.
I think what swamiji puts as possibilities are in fact realities for a long time now, one shining line is that people because of free media are aware about all these things and many are infact trying to put some basic day to day routines to counteract these worries expressed , I think we are in the phase where the virtual world is ruling and we are conscious about it , there seems no way out only acceptance and self realization will help us .
Something funny comes to my mind... Bhagwan Ram, when he saw the suffering in the world outside the palace, he felt pained and compassionate, which is when he learned Yog Vasishtha. Same was with Gautam Buddha. Now the palace is not needed. People only have to look away from their smartphones and it will work 😂 🍃💓🧡🙏🧡💓🍃
There weren't any sufferers during Ram Rajya or Treta Yuga. Only Rakshasas and Asuras troubled people that too were getting killed. Other than that people didn't suffered. Also Buddha's stories are made up. They are just Jain Vardhaman Mahavir's story which were used to spread Buddhist agenda. We always know Muslim converted Temples to Mosques but Buddhist done more than them. Like many stupas were Temples like Sanchi Stupa was Shiv Mandir built by Harshwardhan I think so. And the even destroyed Statues of Bhagvanji and made Buddha's statue in the place. The Greatest Temple Angkor Wat is example. It is a Vishnu Temple where idols of Bhagvan Vishnu are broken and made into Buddha.
Dear Sir , this channel is fantastic. I am following it from a long time! One request, please remove the clicking sound ( with bell popups ) . It's so distracting and disturbing !! Actually this lecture makes us more attuned to have attention ! Our channels must work on that! Thank you. 🙏
I always wanted to see both these enlightened and tremendous personalities come together, have been following their works for a while, and I am really fortunate to have seen this video. Thank you very much, Rajiv ji & Swami ji 🙏🏻.

Solution to AI interference is also found in the Indic scriptures and its called "DISPASSION". Just drop the phone/laptop/computer or whatever device you are hooked up to. Also remember only those who are too much involved with virtual world can effectively practice dispassion because they are the most tired and bound folks.
Oh yes that is why through my own experience for my peace I keep internet off in my phone till I have time to address all notification . I depend on my watch now cause I have a habit of seeing time which keeps me productive ( having a watch helps not to go to phone every minute ) . This is a huge thing , attention is extremely super power , and if that is distributed it breaks our real potential and phones are becoming weapons for our enemies . 😳👀
I would like to add that sometimes things that are extremely harmful to us can help us realize the minor harms and become helpful in even eliminating the minor harms. Personally, I have indulged in alcohol and through that, I realized the negative effects of sugar too and was able to reduce both. Also, I have seen realized the bad effects of social media by using it, and that has made me more social than I might have been without ever experiencing it. I think nothing can hijack a person on the path to spirituality, all good and bad experiences can help us in realization.
Very nicely summarized. Regarding 14:10: My 2-cents add-on articulation: 1. Starting premise of AI is to focus on the 12 (manas, indriyas, ahamkara) and create a behavioral model of their interaction. This limits AI's focus to transformations of prakriti (which is subject to gunas). 2. Starting premise of Sankhya-Yoga (etc) is the additional aspects of buddhi, chitta, mahat beyond the 12. This has not been comprehended in the AI models. 3. Since Rta emanates from Mahat; and Dharma from Rta; Artha is rooted Dharma, therefore this can only be corrected if AI is rooted in Dharma and not Artha/Kama. This will encompass the aspects beyond the 12. 4. As an example: SRAM caching of data locally next to the processor is akin to having instant gratification for the processor. But having to fetch it from the DRAM, takes up more energy and is energy inefficient (although more data resides there). Just like encoding, wide I/O lines are tools to maximize data density without increasing energy consumption, we also need a method of digesting the data and nourish other aspects of the system (not just the processor). 5. In terms of practicality, this can be started in terms of regulating AI or the human mind. Details need some careful thoughts. The key question for us technologists will be how to incorporate aspects beyond the 12 and what combination of Ashtanga for users and Dandaniti (Yudhisthira gets a earful of this from Bhisma about this in Raja Dharma Parva) for Kings towards AI will give us the optimal solution. I think an independent aspect would also be to rethink AI and its optimization models but this require a much deeper level of collaboration.
Spirituality cannot be hijacked - Spirituality is Self-Sufficient, it only requires ItSelf to exist, hence nothing can overcome it. Spirituality is not something that belongs to me. I belong to Spirituality, because I AM Spirituality.
@@asurfadventurelife11 They can't. It's because you are still in ignorance. Your soul doesn't need a body to exist. All one can do is prevent your Soul from experiencing life with that particular body that would have a chip. The Soul can go elsewhere if it chooses in such a case.
So happy to hear it and to see how many people have reacted to this speech of yrs! I felt it way back in 1991 when cell phones were not available to us in India, but video games did start long back. I guess in early 80s. And when the cable channels took over our Doordarshan, the impatience and restlessness was introduced in a big way... I wrote too in an article about it in the year 1991 which was though published in local news papers much later. I felt we are prospering in luxuries only, but forgetting to be happy and at peace. Thank you so much once again to bring up such an important issue.
Basically AI could make one a highly distracted, cruel, feverish virtual zombies with a false sense of self..Every spiritual seeker needs to hear this as well as parents who are raising young kids.
This is the reason why mental ailments are going to be the biggest issues in the coming times....as predicted by Sadguruji. But my humble opinion is also that thanks to this algorithm business...Ive got to listen to amazing satsangs and discourses...been able to do svadhyaya from the likes of Akhandananjis videos and Chinmayanandaji etc etc which would not have been ever possible for me due to time and space. Though Ive long quit facebook,twitter,television etc but youtube is an attraction coz of satsang content and whatsapp due to being connected with like minded devotees.
🙏🙏 Regards to both Swami ji & Rajiv ji. I am an ardent follower of swami ji from a while now. Recently discovered the tremendous knowledge of Rajiv ji.
Rajiv Sir plz along with Sanjay sir of Jaipur Dialogues, plz write a detailed history Book destroying every false propaganda by Communists in our History from Mauryan Empire to Maratha Empire. And also after Maratha Empire to present day 2021. This Book may be in 3-4 Volumes but will be worth it. Also covering all the Great Wars, their reality, background, economic, educational, religious and scientific conditions of those particular periods.
Thanks and gratitude to Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj, for his illuminating lecture. He has explained in beautiful and lucid way how ai is going to be a grave concern for our humanity. How spiritual meaning of mankind is going to suffer by the profit motive driven applications of ai. Also He could establish how the Vedantic meaning of Consciousness is set to be altered by ai. Pranam to Maharaj Sarvapriyanandaji. 🙏
swamiji, so wonderful to see you on rajivjis platform .. Lets hope the economic "law of diminishing marginal returns" will impact all this sense gratification promised by these crazy technologies! I think people are already quite tired of technology even if they're addicted
This has been going on a long time, it is just getting more sophisticated and more invasive.. we have a whole generation of adults raised strictly on television and video games. In fact, handheld video games started in the 1980's. I could not put my "space invaders" down to do my homework. The addiction process to dopamine hits started early.
The irony of the presentation about how technologies interrupt our attention, being constantly interrupted by the clicking noise of the call-to-action animations 😂😂 Whoever put this video together needs to listen to it.
Thank you Rajivji for your continuing efforts & thank you Sarvapryanandaji for such an insightful juxtaposition. The 4 points brought up here is of such importance that it deserves much further discussion. Greatly appreciated. Thanks again gentlemen.
Exactly. Shortens attn span. Affects critical thinking skills. I'm surprised more ppl aren't aware. Edit- and surprised more women, what with our beauty culture, don't care they are forming 2 deep lines on their necks. From the head always facing down. So, I go on a bus, literally everyone, is on cellphones, earplugs, just shut off from all the other people surrounding them . Sometimes I talk to bus driver cuz I can't stand it. Or a ( no offense) I live in DTES, some impaired native person who can actually converse . No electronics. Yay.
Can not get service from the younger generation these days.i guess that is why elite wants to create robots because they knew that the ccoming generation will becoming more useless ...most generation today will resort to metaverse gaming for a living
Great insights. Thank you. Guru Jagat once introduced in her talk “Programming the Machine” the idea that we can use mantric sound codes to program AI for the benefit of humanity. Seems a pretty interesting concept for me.
I always like listening to swamy ji . Even though on few issues regarding Christianity even he is not aware but still he is Gyani par excellence when it comes to explaining dharma. Liked his speeches in IITK.
Yes, our attention is being stolen away through these unworthy distractions, yet people are giving their attention to the pursuit of that which is lacking. From my own tradition I see the goal of Christian perfection as my life's vocation. It is attention in this way; to give myself completely to the vision of God in Christ by focusing all of my strength, heart, mind and soul (The Great Commandment of Christ) upon that Icon, the divine Logos. In view of that type of full attention, where does that leave me and us in our tradition? We must not be distracted by lesser things. Of course, the other traditions are focused upon an attention to a great spiritual purpose; defined by their own tradition. Distractions upon lesser things would not be acceptable either for them I would think. It is really a matter of values, and what matters most to the individual.
Forget AI even the user interface in devices are designed in a very conscious manner so as to grab out time and attention. As simple as the notifications which are always shown in red on social media is a hack for our attention. It promotes addictive behavior and encourages us to spend more time looking at that interface. We are surrounded by technologies which fragments our attention and that's why there is talk of digital well-being these days and measures to reduce the number of hours we spent staring at screens.
Yes. Very true! Thank you so much Swami Sarvapriyananda for summerising the crux of the problem so eloquently. AI is not only distracting as a technological tool it is dehumanising the very nature of consciousness.
At least in this video, they could have not added the "click bell icon", "subscribe" notifications. Just when the swami was talking about distraction methods of phones, as called "the social dilemma", to say the least 😃. Thanks to Infinity foundation and Swami ji for such gem of a session
More than 35 years ago J krishnamurti made us aware of some of the possible adverse consequences humanity might face owing to the progress in AI and genetic engineering.
Excellent explanation. Though one feedback to the hosts of this channel. While swamiji was explain the attention economy and how AI and digital platforms are distraction driven for profits, we had four youtube notifications popping up for subscribe and press the bell icon. It almost became an antithesis to what swamiji was explaining :) I hope the media team will take this into consideration.

Great explanations! AI's grab of 'Attention Energy' also steals your attention energy from Empathy & Real Happiness (opposed to entertainment)! Pursuit of happiness is a pursuit of Pure perception... Experience of Universal love and experience is very necessary to have American value perception . Inequality of experience leads to inequality of perception leading to fragmented society & nation!
Thank you Rajiv ji & Swami Sarvapriyananda ji. Would like to add: if AI does not increase revenue/engagement/user retention of ad-serving platforms, ad-serving platforms will rethink their investments into AI. I think ad-serving platforms are going to burn their fingers by investing heavily into AI
