Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Jaya Guru Datta. All, Here is a video by Jill Bolte Taylor on " My stroke of insight " . She has been researching about the functions of brain. Please take a look at the video in the link: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_in sight.html. It is very wonderful ( a little bit scary too) and how she narrates it makes it more interesting. To use scientific vernacular, a person saying that the " Self " is everywhere is to say that the person is experiencing an elevated state of consciousness. I think that one can reach this state by multiple ways, though Jill Taylor had to have a tumor in her brain. But she is an evidence for the scientific community that such states of consciousness are present, though she could not control her experience because of the tumor. Advaita Vedanta, preaching " Aham Brahmasmi " (I am Brahman) or " Tat tvam asi " (That thou art), means to elevate us to the higher states of consciousness of the supreme " I " . To reach that state, one has to follow a very disciplined spiritual path as well as the guidance of a guru, who Himself has been a follower of the traditional path. The tradition ensures that the very teachings that have produced a guru now, will groom more such gurus out of the disciples. Only if you have the grace of Isvara, you will even get such a guru. Pujya Sri. Swamiji is such a traditional guru. To me song Sri. Swamiji composed indicates three things at the least. 1) He felt His extension everywhere and in every being. However, the closest verbalization of that state of " I " made Him say that Datta is everywhere and in everything. 2) It also shows His devotion to Lord Datta. This is what every devotee should feel about their Ishta DevatA (favorite deity), when their bhakti (devotion) matures. 3) Bhakti and Jnana are one and the same for realized persons. Note - There are no equivalent terms in English language to represent " I " , " Brahman " or " Atman " . However, using the term consciousness and elevated states of consciousness makes someone understand the concept. If you are learning Vedanta, the teacher would not be using those terms at all. The Vedantic " I " cannot shrink, cannot expand and hence is not elevated to a new level. There is only one level, which is " I " . My 2 cents. Sri Guru Datta.
