(10:15) In this video, Swami Ji responds to a question asked during open satsangs he shared on 18-28 January 2018 in Tiruvannamalai, India, exploring the theme of Consciousness and the Nature of Spiritual Awakening. The basis of these satsangs was a discussion of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s poem, Sat Darshana (Forty Verses on Reality).

The world only exists in the mind. Everything you see is a delusion. There is no difference between what you experience in a dream and what you experience in the waking state. You are Consciousness. There is no separation between you and the world around you. The mind can neither perceive nor conceive this Reality. It can only surrender. Don’t try to understand the Truth: you are the Truth. There can be no objective knowledge in the direct experience of Truth. Your beliefs are the obstacle.
