Remain Aware of Your True Nature | Swami Sarvapriyananda 

I read "The Complete works of swami vivekanand" and found answer for this question that ""we must listen (read also) about this Atma till it mix with every drop of our blood"".

Swamiji, I learnt a lot from your lectures and benefitted. How do I ever repay the debt? I don't know. I can't even say God bless you because I am older than you. May people like you be there in every place where there is so much of suffering - caused by themselves and others. I am a student of Ramakrisna Mission school - long time ago. I cherish that association.

So, don't remember, experience. The problem is, we don't recognize what we experience. Maybe, instead of remembering, we should be re-minding. Constantly reminding ourselves that what we are experiencing is not the world, but Brahman appearing as the world. Not duality, but non-duality appearing as duality.

That was question going in my head too...Explaining such an abstract concept so easily...thank you Swami ji.!! Om Shiva.!

I'm deeply grateful Swamiji.. Your videos keep me on track as while living in material world, I doubt myself but by God's grace we have you to guide us whenever feel lost.. Thanks 🙏

All the forms and fellings are of the same substance as consciousness. Still your thoughts and see that the mind is empty like a mirror. When you look at the spacious mind with no thoughts you are pure awereness. Then a thought wil rise "this is it, i know it". This thought has nothing to do with reality. The thought refers to an inmagined person existing only thanks to thought. But realise then that at the same moment that thought is present there is the Knowing of this thought. This knowing is the empty mirror where all appearences are reflected. The difference with the mirror in which the human body is seen is that in this mirror not only appearences are reflected but at the same time also cognised. According to mahamudra and dzogchen the nature of the mind with all its appearences is always empty and knowing. You are the vast clear and luminous space "mirror" where all this appears. The appearences are always and only just this mirror. You experience the thoughts that rise, you experience the feelings, memories, visions, sounds, tastes, somatic sensation that rise. It is thanks to you that this objects are being experienced. With no awereness there would be nothing.

You don’t have to remember your true self, You only have to forget your false self (Ego) that is the purpose of spiritual practice. Bhagavan SriDattaDev SatChitAnanda

Most profound life changing explanation ever!

Advaita Vedanta is 100% correct. All knowledge is indeed thru experience and then attaching a name to it. Just research the development of IBM Watson and you will see that this is how machine Learning works. Machine is fed thousands of example and told what its called. This is machine experiencing each item and attaching a name to it and then later even if it has not seen anything like it before it can still say what it is. This is the core of machine learning and same for how any person or animal learns.

Perfect... if you are experiencing you are in the now if you are remembering you are bringing forth the past.

When you experience, you're experiencing experience. When you remember, you're experiencing memories. But the bottom line - there's always an experiencing going on. There can be an experience of absence but there cannot be an absence of experience. The TV screen is always On, the shows start & end.

MY PROBLEM IS, "I WANTED TO REMAIN AWARE OF MY TRUE NATURE" BUT I DO NOT KNOW YET WHAT IS MY TRUE NATURE. SO HOW CAN I REMAIN IN THAT SOMETHING WHICH I DO NOT KNOW? CAN YOU CLARIFY ME PLEASE!

You had one job Cameraman

Thank you swami ji for the simple yet so profound insight ........as you explained ......I never have to remember and remind myself .......because I am continuously experiencing myself .....that is अनुभव. So there is no need of स्मृति for that......similarly I need not remember and remind myself continuously that I am consciousness itself.....rather I have to always experience myself as consciousness .......simple but profound .......how easy and at the same time how difficult....!!! प्रणाम स्वामीजी ।।

I so appreciate these simple grounded examples. May “I” wake up to ‘my’ true nature; may all beings everywhere wake up to ‘their’ true nature. 🙏🏻. And may Swami be blessed with a long life.

I AM That! What do I care whether the mind is thinking and resting in me or not! But, the mind also has no choice but to remain in me, outside of me nothing is. And, the mind does not exist in me either, inside of me nothing is. Only I AM!

Air and space are different things, air is present in space, air may be polluted but not the space, similarly Atman is like the space.

I’m always the Witness of all, the Witness Consciousness. Joy Thakur Joy Maa Joy Swamiji 🙏

Swamiji thank you for the beautiful explanations, the difference between experience ing and remember ing. I will practice the state to be conscious by your grace

Swami your examples make the the cumbersome concepts very easy.. thank you.

I can't see my face, only it's reflection. So know the I and learn to recognize the I but whether you recognize or not the I is as is.

Great Explanation by Swami ji..!! Fascinating

Thanks Swamiji for such a wonderful explanation.

Earth,Water,Fire, Air can be Affected....Space will not be Affected......

You are addressing the root cause of So called Problem DIRECTLY sir, you are not hitting at the bush, not dragging.... 🙏🙏🙏

Non-dualism is based on EVER PRESENT experience.

Thank you Swamiji. This was such a clear explanation of remaining aware of our true nature.🏵

Read complete works of swami VIVEKANAND and Bhrahmanda both were spiritual brothers and direct disicples of their GURU Swami RAMKRISHNA pramhansa ji..strongly recommend it....but don't like mere words... ONLY caution ...you may start losing interest world material world and would start getting immense clarity about myriad of things! I wish each of you blissful life...would meet you in different realms beyond this physical world!

🌿🌾namaskar swami sarvapriyananda 🙏 thank you from paris..... will you visit us in Centre Vedantique Ramakrishna one day please ...pranam Swami

Yes, that was really great; one of the swami’s best moments. Thank you, thank you Swami for that!

Hats off swamiji 🙏🙏🙏 amazing explanation

Attention goes here and there but again that is observed. That observer is always there as the sense of Self, I am.

Just wow - this should help a lot of people -

Experience of the subject (I am) is always present wheather objects are present or absent. Trick is never to get absorbed in objective experience so much that we forget subjective experience ( I am).

The question is about how to remain aware in experience that I am aware while in action. This becomes possible only after realization of the Self experientially and its practice for a long time.

Wahwah AhaAha wonderful understanding dhanyabadDhanyabadDhanyabad thanksgretitude thanks

🕉☪✝☸☯ 🙏🙏🙏🌹🍇. Thank you very much for this pure teaching Gurudev. We are all are one energy. After realizing that truth, are with knowledge we will get the real Peace . 🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐.

Very good and pointed example by guruji for seekers to dwell upon and at one point of time transcend in being state effortlessly. 🙏

It is very easy to understand but too difficult to experience, though Swamiji explained with a v good example

Beautifuly explained . Thank you so much Sir. Parnaam. 🏵️☺️🌺❤️🌹🙏

Charan Sparsh, Gurudev. Thank you so much for this awesome explanation.

Thank you Swami ji 🙏🙏🙏 I think dream is a perfect example to this question where we experience everything without knowing and remembering.. And all what we experience there is unreal except the one who is experiencing.. Sri Matre Namah 🙏🙏🙏

I think the moment we realize our Atman,we will not need to be in that super conscious state permanently, because we have found the route and can go there whenever we want

Valuable explanation. Thanks!

Ahem... My god this man just answered one of my most burning non-dual questions... Thank you Swami Sarvapriyananda!

Memory - experience example provided good clarity. Thanks for unloading this lecture.

Respected and dear Swamiji, thank you, thank you....again and again. Impure mind may not allow the ego to be in SELF awareness..there lies the danger and solution too. Pl give us next time few tips to follow apart from broad prescription of KY, Upasana yoga and jnana yoga...🙏🙏🙏🌺🕉️🕉️🌺

Fascinatingly visceral description!!!!

Wonderful explanation, loved it with full heart. 🙏

Superb analogy to understand memory and experience and the difference between the two and how it is relevant to Advaitha. Wonderful.. Pranams.

Brilliant! Swamiji, you have resolve one of the puzzle about experiencing atman, awareness etc. Now what make us to consistently experience that Atman, Blissfulness etc? I think that is why one has to start experience with calmness, serenity. I am complete, I am sat chit Anand until it becomes second nature or so wit

I'm fully aware but i want to be alive live and enjoy and due also ik it's all a Play os sense and nature...cuz that's what paramatma wanted to experience through me

God only can help me.

Great message Swamiji! Thank-you, Namaste and Hari Om! 🙏

Very very beautiful discussion n thinking, really a different view n thinking for us, thanks

Mind fucking. So simple yet so Deep. Thank you for the insight.

Marvellous talk by the best guru of Vedanta of our modern times..!

Why people here are mentioning God? This teacher explains just what already exists, it is feature of the existence.

Once its recognized that we are the consciousness that appear in human form. we need to experience it all the time, and not remember it is the thrust of swamijis message. My 2 cents ; To experience it all the time, the intelligence of the subtle body needs to be poised for it all the time. I guess its like learning to walk, once we learn how to walk, we dont need to remember how to walk; even when we are sitting we know we can walk.

🙏 May us have blessings.

The better word to use in the pot example is 'sky' (Akash) instead of space.

i am not become that reality, it is just I become unaware to aware that reality again

You are that (reminding yourself is only for practise) : 11:50

SWAMIJI MAHARAJ,THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL LECTURES. KINDLY BLESS ME .🙏

The becoming one , or diluting ego in eternal isness ,happen when body is at stillness mind is calm and suddenly self realization takes place . the knowing happens . here practice of Kevli pranayam helps to go back to same state, then mind become more mature to remain as it was even one start working . after some it becomes permanent state ( Sthayi bhav. ) this is very joyful state.

Bhagawad gita says Sensation of heat and cold of pain and pleasure are born only of the contact of the senses with their objects have a begining and an end they are impermenent in their nature Bear them patiently

Profound and Powerful teachings Thanks! 🙏

Maha-akasha well said Guru

Thank you again!

Seek blessing to establish in this. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 अनंत प्रणाम 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Susikshato . Ami janina. Bolbo kake.

Wrong teaching. Mind is both the experiencer and experienced.

Awesome explanation! Thanks ❤

Einstein: The space teaches the matter how to move AND the matter teaches the spce how to bend.

Namaskaram Guru 🙏🙏🙏

Very beautiful !!!

This actually arose the question in the mind that what actually is my true nature?

Same question I needed answer

Beautifully Answered. 🙏

Yes but we need to let go of our silly attachments, no?

Bhagawad gita says Man forms attachment to objects when he broads over them from attachment comes longing and from longing angers grows From anger comes delusion and from delusion loss of memory and loss of memory comes ruin of discrimination and ruin of discrimination manpershes

Impresionante como los genios ponen lo complejo en terminos tan sencillos

My true nature is to insult you people who pontificate.

Aren't you such an amazing teacher!!!!

I can reach sometimes by accident,meditation or with help of an angel( ceremonial magick) reach state of pure bliss ,Brahman,Tao ,oneness but quickly after the mind hardens again and blocks the connection(the average state of being during is slightly better than before tho) , how does one completely dissolve past/painbody to create a more permanent state of connection

Thank you swamiji

So our sense of separation is just another thought?

Aatmiya SwamiJi. Jay THAKUR. Absolutely ABSORBING and Convincing examples. Need to feel, think and ACT always (without trying to remember) "Aham BRAHMASMI" "Tat Vam Asi" Because am already as well always is Brahman/Pure unending CONSCIOUSNESS. This is elevating to unknown Experiencing producing HAPPINESS ❤️❤️❤️ iNG you one and all Now and HERE in this Light and Moment.

Why am i not aware of mySelf as pure-awareness (awareness alone), because I am hypnotised to believe myself as mind which goes through jagrat-Swapna-Sushupti, so I behave like one, remember the story of lion n sheep narrated by Swami Vivekananda.

Watch MYSTIC SUTRA -presenting views of different Master's towards life.

🙏🙏🙏🌹🕉️ Thank you Swami ji for making the concept so clear 🕉️

Extraordinary beautiful words. So true. Thank you Swamiji

thank you very much swami ji

Thank you for your guidance to me on this MahaShivatri, 2023. Bless you Swamiji

Swamiji how can I become your sishya. How can I get your diksha. Please answer. I live in India, West Bengal.

Lovely interpretation.

Maharaj Ji, space is vacuum. How can vacuum be affected? How can you talk of affecting the nothingness? Kindly resolve this issue. Pranaam Maharaj.

Hari OM GuruJi Humble Pranams. As usual the explanations simplified excellently. No words to express. Thanks to God's Grace. Fantastic

I like the examples you give Maharaj. Your talks have this quality of presenting a fact so clearly that later I don't have to remember it. The whole thing is experienced then and there....and, this I call experiencing ! Pronam Maharaj. 🙏📿🌺

By far, this is the best teaching to not only understand but live the principles of Advaita. Thank you for the right question. Thank you Swamiji, please teach more on these lines, so that our living experience may reflect our true nature.
