My favorite RU-vid Vedanta channels have been positively sparkling with wise teachings today! It’s good to be alive to hear wonderful truth! 😄🙏 Pranam!
Thank you, Swami-ji. Interesting topics this class. 🙏 Not important, but just a story: Regarding using your material, I once was asked repeatedly by someone to take his Vedanta lessons. I was hesitant, with the value of not seeking company and enjoying quiet time by myself. I already knew a lot of Vedanta. Anyway, he was persistent, so I went through a few of his reading and video-watching assignments, which eventually led to a few Zoom classes with others and a swami of the Arsha Vidya lineage, which didn't last. The swami ended up leaving the group and saying he didn't endorse this particular teacher. I stayed on though, thinking it was just personal drama. Eventually it led to the teacher using your material. I started just going directly the the material myself, then noticed that he wasn't explaining anything really that I didn't know, and that it was probably better for me to just directly read and listen to the material on your website. He ended up being a scammer. He initially started his group by secretly taking over a different Vedanta teacher's Facebook page. He later went on to scamming people out of their money and hitting on female students. Most people left his group, but a couple stayed on as he brought in another swami from the same tradition to teach a few classes. Eventually, he just stopped though, thankfully. I'm not sure what the second swami's relationship with him is anymore, but the swami doesn't do any classes through his group anymore. It makes me wonder how he got these swamis to help out in the first place. I guess they just wanted to teach eager students. That's really the only negative experience I've had on my Vedanta path over the past decade plus. Isvara sorted that out somehow. I heard he's in the woods studying some completely different type of spirituality now. Anyway, thank you for the answers to the questions.
"Who travels" On that video you explain very good about Karma. But, here you mentioned about if you are reach nirvanas or fully enlighten, Where the settle body travel ? the cycle of Karma still go on? Or simply become "consciousness." 0 (zero) sufferings or accept as is:) differed from physically or emotional pain I do appreciate your keenly observation when it comes to "words" like oblivion vs bliss. dying and dead etc. it means you believe that "word" is powerful can create confusion. " teach what you Know" That is a very powerful remark I like that
To me, what travels would be our attributes that are still within the Saguna Brahman, our moments of memory are still not impersonally seen in the Nirguna Brahman that IS the witnessing consciousness ever now.
