There are innumerable differences between humans and other beings, but it narrows down to one principle distinction. The humanly ability to discriminate. A lion can certainly tell a hunter from a prey; this discrimination is a primal urge that aids in survival. However, the boon of discriminating between the temporal world and the ever-present unchanging Truth, the Supreme, is exclusive to humans. A basic understanding of this, or even questioning the existence of this statement, is oftentimes the stepping stone to one's spiritual seeking.
Sri Adi Shankaracharya's Vivekachoodamani translated as 'the crest-jewel of discrimination' is an important introductory text that acquaints a seeker with the joys of Vedanta. It walks one through the importance and the process of subtler discrimination, that must lead to dispassion towards worldly objects of desire.
Chinmaya International Foundation and Chinmaya Mission Mattancherry present online discourses on Vivekachoodamani, with Br. Ved Chaitanya.
Br. Ved Chaitanya comes from a family steeped in the Chinmaya Mission. An electronics and telecommunication engineer from Pune, he withdrew from work in TCS to follow his heart. He received Brahmacharya Diksha in 2013. An impactful orator, cheerful, kind-hearted, and a scholarly student of Sanskrit and Vedanta, his particular interest lie in the application of Vedanta in daily life.

From 25:00 onwards swamiji explains verse 363.
One can experience bhrahman by " athyantha susookshma vrithi & athi sudha budhi"
Am i right in my understanding?
Now my doubt is :
Self is something which can be understood by mind & budhi?
( whatever be the type of mind and budhi, they are ultimately mind and budhi only no?)
There is verse :
Yadho vaacho nivarthanthe
Aprapya manasaa......
How this go together with viveka choodamani Verse 363?
Swamiji says:To see something subtle we need subtler instrument. Example given was watch repairers instruments.
