Pure Consciousness: Still Point at the CENTER of the Mental Storm
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 09. 2018
- When the mind's turmoil becomes overwhelming, it can be impossible to maintain your attention on pure consciousness at the center of your being. But, you can discover those mental storms to be harmless collections of thoughts and emotions, as insubstantial as a soap bubbles.
Your essential nature is consciousness or awareness by which all mental activities (vrittis) are known is called atma, the true self, the inner divinity that is sat chit ananda, limitless eternal consciousness. That consciousness is reveals the vrittis of your mind (manas) without being affected by them, like the sun is unaffected by what it shines upon. Atma is the sakshi, the independent observer or awareful witness of all your thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.
Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha.org/
After years as a seeker, I finally came across your wisdom, Swamiji. It's like finding water hidden deep in the ground after a dry period. So called Gurus crossed my path one by one. Somehow it seems I have found out of the forest of Samsara. Thanks from Austria, Swamiji!

Thoughts/Emotions/Sensations are Changing CONSTANTLY trying to disturb CONSCIOUSNESS which is ever UNCHANGING in Nature.
NOW, am trying to ignore Vrities and focusing on ATMA, CONSCIOUSNESS.
Loving you one and all Now and HERE in this Light and Moment.
Very lucidly expressed!🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿I am from South Africa 🇿🇦, I’m so blessed in every breath for the knowledge I have attained
No one, could have explained our "True nature " Our true self, so beautifully as you , respectful Swamiji.
My humble Pranams .🙏🙏
Wow Amazingly simplification of complex topic. Its a blessing to listen to your teachings 🙏 🙏 🙏
Much love swamiji from 🇰🇪
I think I experienced a similar feeling as you did after watching your video. It really hit home for me. I have listened to it at night In bed countless times, and now I don't take my mind so serious as before. Thank you!
Priceless knowledge, thank you very much.
Thank you Maharaj for your wonderful talk🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏
I appreciate your channel and the information you are providing so much! Thank you for your hard work 🙏🏻 This video alone has helped me immensely!
Thank you Swamiji. Very lucid ...great clarity.
Pranam Swamiji. Wonderful explanation. I am also disciple of pujya Swamy Dayananda. I did 3 months course in 2000 at his feet.
You've made it perfectly clear. There is immense gratitude in this heart.
Pranams Swamiji , pure joy to listen to you each time and this one is priceless ! 🙏
I found you and your channel some years ago, and from time to time i still need a refresh, for a cleansing and clearing, when getting affected and attached too much by evil surroundings.... thank you thank you...
wow. I didn't even know what I came here to learn, but this discussion & explanation was phenomenal. Thank you so much.
Well explained. Thank you swamiji.
Healing my pain. I suffer compulsive bad thoughts being a good person and the tormentation is unbearable at times. 'Why do you take your mind so seriously?' puts everything in a new perspective. Relief relief relief ❤.
Amazing explanation..concept of floating bubbles..perfect..Thank YOU Guruji.
Very good example from your experience 🙏🙏
Amazing content once again. I believe you and Rupert Spira to be the best teachers of non duality.
Great explanation 👌 Clearly explains about Consciousness, thoughts, emotions & senses. Bubble metaphor is easy to understand and gives much clarity
Swami Infinite gratitude for your love and affection that reached your friend here in Brazil... Gratitude
Another wonderful teaching of Swamiji You are the perfect teacher I had heared this principles hundreds of times before but I had never understood them as well as when you explain them. Thank you
Indeed it's a blessing from Swami Dayananda Saraswati himself to have bumped into your channel. 🙏 I
I had met Swamiji in Arsha Vidya headquarters in Annaikatti way back in 2013. He blessed me immensely and gave me an apple.
I can resonate with every word that you have uttered on the torment that the mind suffers and struggles with these vrittis . the struggles of my mind has now reduced to a great extent by the grace of Devi.🙏🌺
I had a wide range of deep spiritual experiences which stirred up a great deal of muck which was unimaginable to process. Slowly, it settled and some clarity dawned.
Very recently, I had this experience of falling into a black hole after which more clarity emerged in my inner space. Now frequently , during my sleep, I feel I am enveloped in a complete deep dark space and I realise this as I wake up, not when it is actually happening.
I looked for many scriptural references to understand what was happening within me. I am unsure if I could draw any parallels so far.
May I request you to give me any scriptural reference to these experiences and throw some light on this.🙏🙏
I do not have much knowledge of the Vedas and my quest for knowledge has intensified. I had a deep urge to read Nasadiya Suktam, which I was just not able to comprehend. While I did a search on CZcams for the commentary, your channel was the first to appear.🙏🙏
It's indeed God's will that I am crossing path with you as a seeker!
With much gratitude.
Sree Matre Namah 🌺
Prnaam 🙏
Your channel has been a solid Sat Sangh Swamiji for last few years. It has become a wonderful library as well:). 🙏🙏🌹🌹 Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Profound teachings rendered in such a simple manner! Thank you Swamiji!!
Guru ji , you are a good teacher your knowledge has transformed my thinking pattern.
Thank you
Om Shanti ... Thank you very much..
This is good 🙏 The lap of Maya/Shakti always coaxes us back to the “center.” We think the storms are negative, but it is all Vidya Maya. All points us towards the calm eye and send us that direction whether we realize it or not. To paraphrase Meister Eckhart: We see demons, but those are really angels trying to free us from the earth. 🙏
I thank the Universe for You.
Thank you.
Om Shanthihi Shanthihi Shanthihi
Pranams Swamiji, thank you for sharing teachings in such a special way!🙏
No words to express gratitude. Thanks alot. 🙏🙏
Aatmiya GURUJI...
Hare Krsna.
Yes, my true Nature is PURE, Unchanging, eternal Consciousness. However Vrities (thoughts/feelings/sensations) constantly keeping appearing/disappearing in Consciousness it is demanding persistent efforts of forgetting
*I Am Not Vrities*
but
#I Am Consciousness#
Shifting FOCUS from Vrities to CONSCIOUSNESS.
Loving you one and all Now and HERE in this Light and Moment.
4:44 "Why do you take your mind so seriously?" Wonderful! Now, on to the rest of the video. "The goal of Vedanta is not to have a perfect mind; the goal of Vedanta is to have perfectt knowledge." Magnificent!
Fun fact: my endocrinologist's first name is Satya.😊 Dr. Satya Krishnasamy. Maybe i will learn what samy means.
@David Collins
The name *Samy* is evolved from the name *Swāmi*
Satya Krishnaswāmi means
Krishna, the true lord
Satya Truth
Krishna Krishna
Swāmi Lord / Master
🙏
Pure gold
Guru Devo namaha 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your teachings are priceless and we are blessed to have you . I thank God for you . Thank you so much Swami ji 🙏
Thank you so much,you tell things in such a simple way,even a non vedanti will understand. you so openly told about your emotional turmoil in initial days,normally people will hide it when they become famous
Thank you, Swamiji. This is a blessing for me.
Thanks Swami. That was super clear!
Thank you Swamiji for teaching this valuable perspective.
Salutations and my hearty thanks to Beloved Swamiji for the excellent and lucid presentation!
“ Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God “.
Thank you Swami ji, this was just what I needed to hear today! 🙏🏼
Incredible. Waheguru 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
the thought is a mere bubble, in fleeting , insubstantial collection of name and forms
Thank you Swamiji...such a relief to have perfect knowledge rather than a perfect mind!
Thanks dear teacher. Your lessons have greatly improved my life
Superb swamiji
I am still trying to scratch the surface but I found a great help in your teachings, yours metaphors and all the resources that you put in your presentation make the knowledge so palpable and comprehensible. Thanks a lot for your time and dedication 🙏
Do you meditate ?
This is pure GOLD for the seekers and the students who are stuck in the middle in this journey. Can't thank you enough Guruji. Koti koti Pranam. How can I contact you?
Thanks Swamiji. So mind is basically the sensations, thoughts and emotions and it appears or disappear in the consciousness. Without consciousness there is no existence for the Mind.
thanks for sharing all your thoughts and teaching with me/with us!
Beautiful!
Pranams Swamiji
🙏
🪵🙏 Pranams Swamiji
WOW Swamiji - So On Point… !
I love the bubbles metaphor. Very enlightening
Amen!
Given that the essence of the human problem is the identification with Vrritis and failure to know oneself as pure awareness, and given that the only way to conquer the vrritis is to gain the sure knowledge that one is limitless infinite awareness, this surely means that the start of spiritual practice is to become aware of being aware, abiding in awareness, since this moves us away from the Vriitis I to our underlying substance, and the middle and end of spiritual practice is this self same self inquiry. I.E. the traditional initial vedantic practice of karma yoga etc are only somewhat accomplishing indirectly the same separation of the vrritis from one s true self as awareness, but most mature modern persons are ready for the direct path of self inquiry, this inquiry distils the essence of all other spiritual practices hence the genius of ramana Maharishi s version of Vedanta, perfectly suited to the needs of the modern mind, whereas traditional Vedanta more suited to the social structure of Indian society which has more devotional and ascetic atttitudes.
Well said!
What a beautiful video. Thank you, Swami!
Prananam Swamiji.
Thank you Swami ji for explaining the concept very clearly. It helped to meditate for few minutes once in while without any disturbance or need not to focus too much.
Om shri gurubhyo namaha 🙏🌹🌺🌹🌺🌼🍁
Genuine compassionate sharing of tender awareness, thank you!
Beautiful and calming. Thanks.
Wow.. amazing thanks swami ji
Namaste Swami Ji
This is great! 🙏🏾 thank you
Thank you Swamiji
Wonderful teachings Swamiji. Teaching the fundamentals of vedanta in such lucid way I think any novice can easily grasp it.
Accept my humble Pranams swamiji.
Similarly I would be happy if you teach the most difficult subject, that of transcending body mind ego living in the reality as the reality without an iota of doubt.
Thank you so much swamiji.
Thank you Swamiji 🙏Namaste! Swamiji, a thought, for example, 'The debt bill is coming soon 'emerges a lot during my meditation .this thought bursts immediately and emerges soon again. Thoughts are not real.But this thought 'The bill is coming' can stir the mind storm fiercely as well as its consequential thoughts so that I am totally lost and have no perspective at all. It affects me a lot. And when I finish my daily meditation, the bill comes in front of me, so real that I can not deny it. Thoughts can be harmless, but the worldly reality is so cruel .
No any question, just think of this and share.
Thank you for so vivid teaching again.
Bills are real, so pay it!
@@k14michael sure, seems no other choices
Thanks swamiji for this wonderful explanation on pure consciousness in a simple and lucid way. I will practice and implement in my day to day long life and be peaceful as far as possible.
प्रणाम स्वामीजी। हरि ॐ!
Pronaams! 🙏🙏🙏
Thankyou swamiji😊
Thank you oh kind Sir and gratitude
Thank you for your great teaching! 🙏🙏
I have some extraordinary experiences that's why I can easily grasp it. Thanks ISHWARA for those experiences. though I am struggling at the moment. But I believe that one day I will have reach that point.
According to my knowledge, it is very difficult to understand for those who don't have spiritual experiences or don't have any spiritual knowledge. Without knowledge and experience, it's very difficult to grasp. Because it's beyond our mind, body, intellect and perception.
At the moment I am facing some challenges but by those vedanta's knowledge and some extraordinary experiences, I am able to face those challenges.
Thank you very much गुरुजी!
