The Self is Witness of Infinitude and Unbroken-ness

Swamiji begins the talk by sharing about a health situation in his disciple’s life after his wife’s demise. The disciple survived a few serious health situations and turned to Swamiji to accept him as a sannyasi. Swamiji advised him to be a Sadhu and continue to live an austere life.

Reciting and explaining a verse from Vivekachudamani, Swamiji says that we are the unbroken, indivisible Consciousness. The Self (I) is the witness of everything. The whole universe is witnessed by the Self. Diving into the depth of this verse, a seeker understands that nothing is really possessed by him.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

नारायणोऽहं नरकान्तकोऽहं
पुरान्तकोऽहं पुरुषोऽहमीशः ।
अखण्डबोधोऽहमशेषसाक्षी
निरीश्वरोऽहं निरहं च निर्ममः ।।
Vivekachudamani-494
