Swamiji Bhoomananda Tirthaji, through this talk, guides us through the intriguing realm of spirituality where contradictions abound. By tracing back to the origins of our bodies, he prompts us to ponder on the intricate interplay between our physical form and the intangible essence of consciousness.

A seeker must pay attention to the sentience which is capable of producing wakefulness, in which it senses the body, activates the senses and then the world is cognised. The proof for the world is our experience in the world. The experience does not belong to the body or senses. The experience is inner and inward, it belongs to the mind. Though objects seem to be incidental in causing experiences, experience by itself is not objective but subjective. In sleep, the world disappears but the ‘I’ always remains. The ‘I’ part never becomes non-existent. Despite the tangible progression of our bodies within the material world, there is the profound impact of our inner selves. It urges us to delve deeper into the subjective nature of our experiences.

The seeker must navigate through the apparent paradoxes with an open heart and curious mind. As we journey through these reflections, there is a deep appreciation for the mysteries around us. It is not just about deciphering truths; it is about embracing the journey with all its trials and tribulations, finding meaning in the midst of contradictions, and ultimately discovering the beauty of the journey.
