That was an hour of trivia plus a bit of nonsense. Consciousness and the self are very complex and multilayered but he told us little more than sometimes we're awake, sometimes dreaming, sometimes in deep sleep. So what? Other teachers have provided much deeper insights.

"There's nothing wrong with the world except yourself". That is insulting. What about the huge range of diseases killing millions of men women and children each year? Natural disasters - floods, drought etc. These are all very real, and have caused more suffering by far than anything humans have done to one another.

This is a great lecture on "human conditions" and paths towards to finding our "true selfs" which are connected to each other as individual and to ultimate oneness as building brick in the universe. Many thanks to Swami for his perseverance and courage for keeping his journey to enlighten us!

I GET IT! i remember reading Seughn Sahn's book Compass of Zen and a line jumps out from it. He was talking about how when buddha became enlightened, he had discovered an unbelievable truth and when he went out to teach, he was a ph,d student trying to teach kids. No one understood.

This talk is so ironic, becuase when people tell you that you are conditioned, no one believes you, oh but I am not conditioned. Well thats part of the invisble prison that we are in. We think we have the power to control our lives, but only when we see how much we are conditioned, can we actually exercise our own freedom.

Brilliant. Guys like Wayne Dyer articulate this stuff in their works. Although, I don't like his relativist remarks to questioner 2. Public talks by highly respected and accomplished Hindu holy men are not just buffets of ideas. Authority may not be reliable for truth, but people still go by it, and if the Swami were wrong about a judgement about the nature of animals, her disagreement would be relevant. We must all recognize our humanity and work together to crawl out of our cave of illusions. Is the concept of the Bodhisattva exclusive to Buddhism?

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou FORA.TV for publishing this magnificent talk by Swami Parthasarathy. I was transfixed, throughout the entire presentation. This learned man is entertaining and illuminating, but most of all, deeply intelligent. He calls us on our reality. He stops you in your tracks and suggests you "think about it"!
I listened intently, I applied my energy to his questions and I came away so completely refreshed and enriched. I sent the link to my hubby and had him watch it, and then I posted it on my Facebook profile for my friends and family to share.
This truly was a blessing!
