Ask Swami with Swami Sarvapriyananda | Nov 24th, 2024

Namaste swami jii 🙏🏻♥️

Swami ji,
I am listening to you since 2019 on google podcast which is discontinued now. I make use of my office traveling time to listen to you. And i gained great insights from your teachings. Today i visited one Ashram and they say i can ask questions on your podcast.

I have few questions.
One is how to establish brahman in myself all the time. I know now by Sravan manan Nidhidyasna. And i am trying that.

Second question : How to differentiate between right and wrong. Sometimes situations create where it is hard to distinguish. And if i identifies what is right how to decide which action i should take. May be because or courage i hesitate in taking right action.


Third question: i know now who i am, but still i becomes sad when situations comes. I know this is maya but still it effects my inner self. This effect is now my test case to realise i am still on this earth and a human being 😂
If these situations will start not effecting my inner self. Family and friends will see me as a stone hearted man.

I will ask more questions once these are clarified.
Tatvmasi Swami Ji

Thank you

Koti Koti Pranam Swamiji 🙏🏼

First question: Love of God DOES give you Jnana! It DOES show you who you are! All the perceived points to who you are ❤🙏 You explain it so much better, Swami 🙏 Love of our own personal God hones our ability to realize God is everywhere.

Pranam, Swami 🙏

Does anyone know what Swamiji means when he mentions a forum on the internet?

1) shankaracharya - true love/bhakti is the attitude to find yourself.

Thank you Aloha from Chicago.

A wise person said, " Be careful what you wish for. You will get it but it will never be exactly what you wanted." Every situation has its pros and cons. You will never be truly satisfied or at peace when you get what you want.

The highest form of Bhakti is Jnāna and the highest form of Jnāna is Bhakti. Karma and Rāj Yog support both.

Pranām Swāmiji 🙏🏽🙏🏽🛕🛕

Pranam Guruji 🙏

Pranam swami ji

Om shanti

Obviously Ramakrishna's mimd was conditioned by devotion to kali, its surely not surprising that he returned to it after completing advaitic training.

Swami Sarvapriyananda, thank you for all your talks! I think I can help those who asked the first two questions about reconciliation of devotion vs knowledge. First, if the questioners continue to practice, one day this will not be a question. It will be clear to them, so keep practicing. Second, with continued practice you become the love you feel for God. I realized that there was not enough love that I could give to God until i became his love and I-am my love for God. I think that when you become the Love Itself and you know that your total being is that Love the devotion and the wisdom becomes One.

First Question, How can I reconcile devotion and non-dual knowledge? This question comes from not understanding who God is. God is not just immobile but mobile as well, he's not just formless, he is with form as well. God is a Living conscious omnipotent presence who is very much capable of loving just as much as we are. we must not limit God to his formless nature because that is only a part of him and not his entirety. This misunderstanding comes from believing that God is only brahman pure consciousness. We don't truly understand God unless we experience God ourselves. when we experience him then these questions vanish. God is not just Pure consciousness awareness, he is conscious living being, eternal, he can speak to us, he hears us and loves when we devote ourselves to him. He loves his devotees when their actions are in accordance with his words. All God Truly request of us is to Love him and love others as if they were The Lord Himself. Love for God will take you straight to him. Amen

Pranam swamiji

Look like Katre Sqn Cdr INSTR once upon a time.... anyways now that you remind me of sm1...JGD. HAPPY NEW YEAR SIR. 😊

Thank you Swami!

Sri Ramakrishna lived with many devotees who cultivated the notions of impersonality. Sri Ramakrishna was very clear with them: the path of this age is love and devotion to God as taught by Narada Muni. This is Sri Ramakrishna's spirituality, but it is also his philosophy. He was not unfamiliar with the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta; quite the contrary, he knew it and knew how to explain its points, but he was clear in pointing out his fundamental disagreements with this philosophy. It is not possible to reconcile Advaita Vedanta with Sri Ramakrishna's teaching, even though Sri Ramakrishna showed respect for Shankara (since Shankara was undeniably a great spiritual personality and his work was fundamental in dispelling the problems of Buddhism).
Sri Ramakrishna does not teach that there is only Brahman and that all diversity is the illusion of Maya. This is not what Sri Ramakrishna teaches. He teaches the doctrine of eternal souls, that there are souls of various types, that the avatara is God in person, he teaches the doctrine of the real presence of God in sacred images, he teaches the doctrine of Shakti, of the Divine Couple, he teaches the divinity of Caiatanya Mahaprabhu...
Swami Sarvapriyananda is an extraordinary speaker, but his exposition leads one to understand that Advaita Vedanta is the truth, and that everything else is a step below it.
The system in which the renunciants of the Ramakrishna Order and Mission are by definition advaitins dramatically compromises the transmission of the authentic teachings of Sri Ramakrishna.

Thank you Swamiji. A “very nice session”, indeed!

Pranams Swamiji ❤

I love that there are many people from "other" sects and beliefs and can ask related questions from swamiji without any reservations.

This is an older session, isn't it? I remember many questions and several phrases...

Thank you, I feel blessed for this knowledge

Even when in reality thinking of Differences vanishes from mind, I belong to you ,not that you belong to me just like Waves belong to the ocean...
Now that Bheda does not entertain me anymore, I have become more of You

Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
