Answering to an invitation to America Ramana Maharshi is reported to have said that America is here only. And he wasn't joking. Now what does that mean? I like to know whether Swami is making a concession vis-à-vis the level of the questioner by giving such an answer or he thinks that that is the enlightened perspective of this (apparent? ) universe. If Central Park exist when you are not aware of it, it means that space is real. The time that you will take to reach Central Park is real. If the concepts like outside, inside, here, there, now, then.. are all really real even after realization, how is going to bring about the fabled 'dhukkanivirthi and ananda prapti'? Your position is very disheartening especially because you are not one of the best, but the best nondual teacher living today. (If Swami doesn't answer, someone who is 'in the know'please answer. I am really confused )

Firstly, my sincere gratitude from a fellow Calcuttan to the swami for opening up a whole new world of Vedantan spiritual science n philosophy. Secondly, just to clarify the concept of the term 'spirit', etymologically it is from the Latin word 'spiritus' or the verb ' 'spirare' meaning to breathe. This was borrowed from the Greek word 'pneuma' as you rightly pointed out, meaning the same thing. In fact the words inspire n expire simply mean, in breathing/inhalation, out breathing/exhalation and respiration is repeat process. When the body dies, we say expire, the final breath, or the pranic life force has left. Just thought I'd share that. ✌👉😎. T.

I do remember Dave Chalmers (the person Swami mentioned) telling me once (about 30 years ago when we were grad students at Indiana U, Bloomington) that the reason he decided to not become a mathematician is that he was convinced that even pure mathematics and theoretical physics would never be able to answer the real big questions. So he turned to cognitive science. Unfortunately this is still limited since it is within a material framework. Brahman can never be completely "understood" in such a framework since Brahman is devoid of all properties/qualities.

Vijay Krish. Your comment is really interesting. Have just listened to Dave chalmers and thought the same as you. Have you heard of Bernardo kalstrup? He is while not being a follower of Vedanta, a non dualist and non materialist. Kalstrup has doctorates in computer science and philosophy. His thinking is quite close to that of Swami Ji. I think the answer to the nature of conscious will ultimately come from a non dualist non materialist view....I,e, the vedantist view. Western materialist view on consciousness does not seem to be cutting it.

In other words you are Brahman. Also John 10 v 34. Have I not said ye are all Gods? I.e. all part of Brahman. Jesus was essentially a non dualist .... the Father and I are one.

Swami talks about the subjective idealism of the Vijñānavāda school of Buddhism (also called Yogacara), but I want to point out that subjective idealism does not describe the entirety of this school! One part of it certainly is subjective idealism, but there’s another part that is definitely not to be reduced to it. If you’re interested in this topic, I recommend the series of lectures of Dr. Jay Garfield at Sravasti Abbey called “Emptiness and the Mind Perceiving It”. (By the way, Swami has studied with Dr. Garfield at Harvard)
@rsr9200

Thank you for the pointer to Prof. Garfield’s lecture series. Really cool stuff! Just watched the first lecture and, as a Vedantin, I could not agree more with the following observation by the professor “Doxography is a really valuable thing but doxography can be dangerous because doxographic treatises are always written from a particular standpoint and always from the standpoint of whoever takes themselves to be at the top of that particular hierarchy. Although people tend to be very careful and charitable about painting their own position, they tend either to be not as careful or as charitable as one might like in characterizing the positions of their opponents. They can set them up as strawmen for refutation.” While Prof. Garfield was speaking of doxography with reference to Buddhist schools such as Yogacara and Madhyamaka, I think this observation applies equally to Vedanta vis-à-vis Buddhism as well as it pertains to doxography from both these traditions in characterizing each other.

@@rsr9200 That's exactly what I had in mind! In his series of lectures, he has to come back to this point very very often. If we set aside for a moment our preconceptions about a certain tradition (that we've heard from its opponents!) and listen to it directly, we can definitely learn something and benefit from it. By the way, I think Yogacara has astonishing similarities with Advaita Vedanta. Understanding one helps a lot in understanding the other.

@@arielpalmer Finally finished watching the entire 15-part lecture series spanning nearly 30 hours. Thankful for the opportunity to learn a little bit about the relationship between the Yogacara and Madhyamaka schools of Buddhism from Prof Garfield, a truly gifted teacher endowed with a rare combination of erudition and eloquence. These lectures not only deepened my admiration for these Buddhist schools of thought but also reinforced my conviction that Advaita Vedanta offered the best path for my spiritual growth through its elegant formulation of non-dual reality and its accommodation of a God-centered spiritual practice. My only disappointment with Prof Garfield’s narrative in these lectures was his reliance on a hackneyed caricature of Vedanta which seems prevalent in Buddhist doxography. After hearing his warning about the dangers of doxography in his first lecture, I was hoping that he would give Vedanta a fair shake but sadly that was not to be. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this lecture series to Vedantins interested in a nuanced view of Yogacara.

Thanks for another set of Q&A, although more basic ones this time, with the exception of the last one 55:15. Regarding Vivekananda's criterions for discernment of Truth, isn't it obvious the whole society and culture imposes ignorance ie. non-Truth on all of us ? Isn't it actually its main purpose, keep people crippled, diminished , divided and deluded ? Already hijacked family members and friends, education system, media, politics - all involved ? I believe infants are free from ignorance. We do cast it on them later, mostly without being aware of that.

Perfect.. The Jiva and the Prakriti are part of Brahman... Both Jiva and the material nature are ultimately made of the same material ( or an element or Spiritual element, if i may say so, to denote what they both are made of).. as what Brahman is made of which can be called as Consciousness (as well as Knowledge/Bliss)..(Sat Chit Ananda being the very essence of the Atman and these three being inseparable and intrinsic nature of the Atman) and To the Jivas, the nature may appear as insentient... But in reality, it is the very essence of Brahman or Consciousness that appears or is projected/is manifested as Jiva and Prakriti.. but then the important thing to note is that though they are made of the same essence of Brahman/Consciousness (Aham Brahmasmi - The Jiva is of the same essence as Brahman in every respect/ He is the same as Brahman in Quality but not in quantity.. so he remains as eternal part of the whole... ), they remain as part of the whole eternally... and so the Jiva is an eternal experiencer .. (Vishishtadvaita) as far as i could see... As the Upanishads reveal/declare that The Brahman manifests this universe and the Jivas, out of HIMSELF.. The material out of which they are made of being HIMSELF.. He being the Nimitta kāraṇa and Upādāna kāraṇa and ..the third Karana as well).... And the beauty here is that though we are made of the very essense of Brahman (Aham Brahmasmi), we as individual Jivas do have freedom (though limited, as Freedom as well is the quality of Brhaman) and he remains to be a part eternally.. Brahman is such inconceivable in that his manifestation is such that the though Jiva is a part of himself,/Brahman, Jiva as an experiencer is very individualistic/independent entity (though he is a part of the whole), in the sense that though the very experience is Brahman (or that though the Brahman precisely measures and offers the very experience to the Jiva), The Brahman is NOT the EXPERIENCER here.. he remains eternally ALOOF of the Jivas experience... that is to say that the Brahman is never the experiencer.. but the Jiva is.. thats how inconceivable the Bhraman IS... And also the experience in our dreams are VERY REAL.. in spite of this experience coming from a Dream to the Jivas.. So though its only a dream, there IS experience to the Jiva from the Dreams .. Some of the Karma are supposed to be experienced through dreams as well, alongside Real daylight (non-dream) experiences... and the non-conscious sleep as well brings experiences to the Jiva... and that is part of ones Karma as well.. How well we sleep and experience sleep/dreams/waking states, are all part of Karma.. The COSMIC Design is such inconceivable!!! SO the Brahman is not the experiencer and this experience of Karma is not for Brahman.. Rather this experience of Karma is precisely measured and offered and delivered to the Jiva BY the Brahman.. So this experience of Karma is for the Jiva as Jiva is the experiencer!!

Though physical appearance is considered to be maya, even the body of investigators' too. But ultimately enlightenment is for for human being, not for the objects. So why not every other human is also subject for every other individual from very beginning of investigation ? And is the projecting "Power" of maya also brahman?

What I find very troubling about Advaita Vedanta is that I think it deals inadequately with the relation of the subject to the object. While it may be true to say that one is the subject and not what one experiences, that leaves out the reality of the pain involved. Saying one is not the body does absolutely nothing to resolve the problem of the body's ills. Put your hand in fire and tell me it is not your pain, even though you are not the pain but the one experiencing the pain. You can separate the subject from the object all day, but in real life pain hurts. Losing a bodily function, for instance, is not something one can isolate oneself from, even though theoretically one is the witness. Try witnessing your arm being torn off, for example; what use is this philosophy when it counts? It demands that we not be human, which is not an inconsiderable problem. It sounds great when you hear it, but when you finally realize what it takes to make it work, one realizes having no preferences is a tall, tall order, and without that, it's all talk and hopeful feelings and nothing more. This is my opinion, of course and perhaps of no value to anyone else.

very true . But that is applicable to all philosophy in general and not limited to only Advaita . Every philosophy , by definition , is just a search for truth, knowledge and shaping our worldviews thus . It helps us in solving day-to-day problems of attachment , emotions , depression, failure , etc . It may not necessarily deal with extreme situations such as torture or chronic pain . Their "target -audience" is the "normal man" . Having said that , I do feel there are some hidden /subtle messages even for the "non-target audience" within certain philosophies . For example , some Tibetan Buddhist practise Idealism(thinking of pain to be made up in mind and as ephemeral) to a very great level by voluntarily training under extreme situations of agony (mental and physical) . Similarly , I can think of many stories of Advaitins ,such as Sadashiva Brahmendra(who calmy walked away smiling , without the slightest sign of pain , even when his hand was chopped off by a Muslim ruler) , Shirdi Sai Baba (who cut himself and pulled out his intestines , again without any noticeable pain ) , Guru Tej Bahadur (who was tortured by the tyrant Aurangzeb , by boiling him alive ; he remained stoic as always ) , Mansur Hallaj ( brutally tortured for claiming An-al -Haq , yet his composure was unperturbed) . Whether they actually felt the pain , yet faked their stoic-ness , or didnt feel the pain , or felt the pain and didnt care , we cannot say . What we can say is , to put on that kind of stoicness , under such torturous situations is a Super-Oscar- winning-acting , or they naturally felt that stoicness owing to their height of the core of philosophies they subscribed to . And even Science cannot help much with extreme chronic/acute pain . Situations are always not favorable./moral /legal to everyone . Society always puts people through such hells and we can say it is inevitable , even in modern tech-medical advanced society (such as evidences of torture in ISIS , war traumas , brutality and violence , chronic pain by newer and newer diseases ,psychological disorders like pureOCD , severe depression , psychosis , etc) Buddha's words ring in my ears -"Life is suffering" . Happy Buddha Purnima !

Creation was propelled by 'desire'to become many. But brahman could not become as it was only the existence therefore it appeared as jivas just the real sun appears as many suns in buckets of water!!

Swamiji, its a common problem still this one is little tricky. My sis in law and her husband seemed they had a greàt chemistry. After some yrs he confessed of having an affair with a lady who worked in the same instituion. Now he has married her in kerela, in a temple and he giving her expensive gifts land etc to her, instead of his own kids. The kids arehumble enough of to go meet the lady. There is a great turmoil in my sis in laws life, she cares for him and feels left out and neglected. Pls show us a way.

At Adyapeeth we see Lord Krishna and Mãã Radha at top followed by Mãã Kali and then the Guru . But I know Guru as Bramha, Vishnu and Maheswar ( Shiva), there is no existence without Guru then why he is at the bottom in the order of the Altar? Am a disciple of a pure bliss ( Paramhans), the saturated body.
