Swami Sarvapriyananda on Conscious Experience -SS

THERE IS NO PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS .

The eye of the eye, the ear of the ear, the speech of the speech: CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT PART OF THE BODY, NOT PRODUCED BY THE BODY.

Man descending into a field in a hot air balloon asks a farmer on the ground “Where am I?”

“You are in a balloon.”

“Sir, are you a mathematician?”

“Yes, how did you know?”

“Your answer was absolutely correct and absolutely useless.” LOL

Anyone searching for CONSCIOUSNESS will never find it because he’s the one who’s looking. He is it.

The very fact of your seeing (experiencing-RS) means you have eyes, consciousness. You’re not being vague paradoxical or tricky. You’re using language in the best way that you possibly can. By YOUR LIGHT your entire body system is lit up and shining. In Vedanta that is exactly what we call God.

Atman = self not subject to death -SS

Sat = Self, Existence, pure being. You are are existence itself. Krishna says that in the Baghavad Gita, 16th verse. Everything that is not me doesn’t exist. It borrows existence from Atman or Brahman (pure existence). We experience it as not-self. It’s only an appearance. You are eternal and indestructible. The snake is the appearance of the rope. All is Brahman. Chit = awareness. Ananda = Self??? Consciousness??? Consciousness and its objects is all that there is. Chit and Sat = CONSCIOUSNESS AND AWARENESS. AWARENESS DOES NOT CHANGE. You are Sat Chit = pure being and pure awareness.

The Awareness, Atman is also all-pervading. Self-luminous. Rama Krishna is reincarnation of God. Authored Baghavad Gita. Soul = Atman = eternal. This chair, bench, doesn’t exist but I exist. I have intrinsic existence. Karma = cause & effect. Atman, though, is ever free. Know that! With body and mind, đo what must be done. You are the WITNESS. You’ll avoid laws of karma.

  1. This ATMAN. I am. I am immortal. The subtle body gets embodied with the birth of the physical body. I am not born with the body and I do not die with the body. I am indestructible.
  2. I am the reality of this universe. Everything apart from me, the Atman, is an appearance.
  3. The absolute nature of this ATMAN pervades the entire world of appearance just as the dream mind pervades the entirety of your dream world You the consciousness, you pure being, pervade this world = This world borrows its existence from you. You pervade everything and everyone! There’s no one to criticize or to blame.
  4. The atman is not an object of the senses. It is not a thing out there. It’s not even a thing in your mind. In here and out there Both of them are appearing in you the atman. Atman is not an object so do not objectify it. You are the light. You, shining, all else shines with you. By your light, consciousness, everything is lit up. It’s not poetry it is literal.
  5. You are free of karma but you have to recognize it. Whatever happens on the screen whatever is in the movie the screen is free of the plot. Not only is the screen free of it but The screen is what enables it to happen. You are the atman. You are free from samsara but you are what is making it happen.

You should take this very seriously this is the essence of all religions in the world. This is the teaching of Vedanta. Each soul is potentially atman. Why potentially? Because we have not manifested or realized it yet. The goal of life Is to realize this divinity in us and to manifest it in our daily life. That means to live it by becoming – without trying – a saint in your life. Our lives will transform very quickly. Great relief will come. Great light ness comes upon us and our fear of death diminishes. OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI SRI RAMA KRISHNA.
