Ha ha. I was wondering why your Vedanta content stopped so abruptly 5 years ago.. Glad to see your other writings.

Youtube's algo dug up your brief Introduction to Vedanta (which I love and will share), possibly because I have been watching a lot of Swami Sarvapriyananda's content recently. From the New Yourk Vedanta Society, he is a gifted communicator btw, charming, erudite and does not shirk away from difficult questions... with a growing following.

So as regards your old videos, I will make a point of going back and liking everything ;). I wonder if you are seeing an uptake in interest in Advaita Vedanta during these turgid times?

Excellent write-up, which 90% of the folks in the world would ever realise.

Non-duality is a reality, which we are TOTTALLY unaware of. We keep ourselves as a sepertate individual, without realising that we do or speak is a meaningless incoherent talk, least understand by even your own spouse. We are here, because of or deeds or misdeeds in our past life, which itself is an illusory truth. If we ever attempt to speak, just imagine, what the person listening to you, think of you or your ego.

Non-duality is ultimately the NEGATIVE TRUTH , that I AM BHRAHMASMI, which if every one, uneducated listening to it may or may not agree with you, making it a DUAL DEADLOCH OF NON-DUALITY. Let us consider that we are a very very tiny piece od sand, in the ocean of the vast human existence.

We can HARDLY READILY EXPECT THE NON-DUALITY TO BE ACCEPTED, WHEN , IN OUR OWN β€œβ€ MIND β€œβ€β€, myriads of thought arise every single moment either accepting or outrigt rejectinwhat we thought about it, a MINUTE AGO. MIND IS A MONKEY THAT MAKES IT HARD FORBUS TO UNDERTANFBTHE HIGH MORAL PHILOSOPHY OF β€œβ€ NON-DUALITY””.
