Every experience lies within the realm of the mind, the sakshi. Poojya Swamiji reinforces the fundamental concept of who we are – the chidakasha, the changeless Subject, the one presence that hosts the universal dimension. Swamiji pushes the listener to attain the loftiest level of his personality through the ultimate knowledge. Knowing that there is no bondage, how can there be liberation? In continuation of the dialogue between King Janaka and Sage Ashtavakra, the latter revealed to Janaka the dimensions of inner consciousness stating that we are asanga – totally unattached, therefore how can we ever be affected by anything? Swamiji tells us to address our imperfections through self effort of Jnana Sadhana and be sukhi – ecstatic and delightful – brilliance personified!
