What a talk! I'm sure I didn't absorb everything I could, I will return for another listen. These are extremely wise and accessible words, like the words of Sri Ramakrishna. It's so amazing this man doesn't know me but he understands my mind better than I do 😂
Pranams! Amazing inteligence, grace and kindness of Swamiji....I wish for more talks from Swamiji on RU-vid...I thought Swami Sarvapriyanandaji was the ultimate RU-vid Swami for me, but Swami Atmapriyanandaji shines like the sun, and makes him a pale moon....
I love the parable of the bird in the ship One of the deepest spiritual teaching for those of us who have been seeking for many years without attaining the final goal
Surrender to God is the most difficult step for a person like me who spent the first 36 years of his life under a strong scientific and materialistic education
Namaste Maharaj, Thank you for explaining the topic on Seeing versus Seeking...Your clarity on the subject was very much to the point and cleared some of the doubts I had... OM...
So on a serious note we begin one passage in the taitreeyeh upnishabad attributed trishankhu .Trishanku is one rishi Trishanku vedan vachanmh Ved is the body of knowledge called divided into four portions called Vedas.. anu vachanam following the veda he makes a statement . Realized the self that is vast and infinite and amazed at its glory .. we are small limited pains ache all this belongs to the body and mind though we are the infibite self encased in this body mind and ( imagining?) that we are this small.. Asthavkara samhita : What glory I am I am the gloriest self who else I interact with repeatedly .. you I are being made to be aware of our own glorious self .. infinte vast lumnious ..awake to this conciousness bow down to this self
Kaarpanya: Swami Atmapriyanandaji defines it as "helplessness"; and that's how I learnt it as well. In another talk, Swami Sarvapriyanandaji defines Karpanya as "poverty" or "narrow-mindedness" or "limited thinking". I wonder which is correct... Or, depending on the context, are both correct? Wish someone from Vedanta Society can bring me an answer...Pranams!
33:20 I like what you say about when a man has realised Atman that will not end spiritual seeking.There will be new abilities to master and many new things to learn.
