Exploring Advaita Vedanta and The Journey to Self-Realization with Swami SarvapriyanandaIn this detailed conversation on 'The Bearded Mystic's Oneness Conversations', Rahul hosts Swami Sarvapriyananda, a renowned teacher of Advaita Vedanta and the spiritual leader of the Vedanta Society of New York. Swami Sarvapriyananda discusses the concept of Brahma Gyan (knowledge of Brahman), emphasizing that the ultimate reality, according to Advaita Vedanta, is the understanding 'I am Brahman'. He elaborates on the profound yet subtle nature of this realization and its significance in surpassing suffering and achieving the true goal of life. Furthermore, he addresses various philosophic branches related to reality, knowledge, and value, and how Advaita Vedanta's answer to these fundamental questions is Brahman. The conversation also touches on mystic experiences, the importance of preparation and desire in spiritual progression, and the relevance of Vedanta in everyday life. Swami Sarvapriyananda advises on handling worldly desires and stresses the importance of continuous spiritual inquiry and effort. The discourse concludes with insights into the role of grace in spiritual awakening and the essential attitude of renunciation for genuine seekers, reinforcing the idea that anyone, regardless of their lifestyle, can embark on the path to enlightenment.0:00 Conversation with Swami Sarvapriyananda00:57 What is Brahm Gyana08:16 The Insight into Brahman09:58 How can I see God?24:21 Why do people leave Nonduality and go back to Dualistic Paths33:49 Is Being Aware of Being Aware enough? 40:05 Being a Spiritual Seeker41:55 Should we change spiritual lineages in the internet age?49:16 Are Guru and God One?53:04 How can we open ourselves to Grace?56:32 How to read  spiritual texts that tell you to be a sanyasi or monk?59:40 A Question that hasn't been asked yet to Swami ji?01:02:08 What do we do if vasanas overwhelm the mind?01:07:03 Thank you and what's in store for the next podcast with Swami jiPatreon: Support The Bearded Mystic Podcast and get ad-free, bonus episodes along with many more benefits:https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcastJoin The Bearded Mystic Podcast Discussion Group on Whatsapp:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/GcCnyrjQwLuEPHBaVA6q9LBe notified of my monthly virtual meditation session followed by a Q&A Discussion via zoom (Notifications only):https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcdnuDMeRnW53E0seVp28bPlease rate and write a review for this Podcast: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/reviews/new/You can follow me and contact me on social media:Website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.comTikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bearded_mysticFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastSupport the show
