After going through almost all the videos of Swamiji, and being a student of Advaita Vedanta for so long. I can say that this is one of the most important lectures Swamiji has ever delivered.

I started listening to Swami Sri Sarvapriyananda Ji after listening to his lecture at IITK. No one has better explained the concept of atman and Brahman than Swamiji and got me excited about Advaitha Vedanta. My humble Pranams to you Swami ji.

What a God-shot this is. Early this morning a cab-driver was verbally offensive to me and I reported him. All day i prayed to Sri Krishna for detachment, here this beautiful speech by Sarvapriyananda Maharaj pops into my algorithms.. there are no coincidences! Thank you Maharaj!!! 💗

True Self is unattached to all objects of this universe including our body and mind.
Hence we can see our thoughts as objects arising in consciousness and disappearing into consciousness .We are not attached to it.

He seems to have no ego. Never speaks of himself. This is my favorite video of his. The best.

Such a powerful teaching. Imagine if every adolescent and teenager was taught this knowledge, and they really embodied it, regardless of their education or background, what a compassionate world would we find ourselves in.

Bravo! This video moves to the top of my list of favorites from Swami Sarvapriyananda.

Never was a talk so relevant to my life. I was so stressed out with college, exams, failure and life in general. The moment I saw this video, it talked directly to something deep within me and was in tears all the while of this video. It was so deep, it was so true, it was a direct experience of unattachement.
