Finer Points of Advaita

Recommended Posts

I thought this was a strong Q&A from Swami, especially the parts from 9:17 to 33:56 and 58:19 - 1:10. I feel as though his teaching is maturing with his age somehow. 

 

The prakasha-vimarsha distinction highlights an important point that had bothered me in certain presentations, but has not been so clearly raised. Basically, prakasha is fundamental awareness (which is self illuminating) and vimarsha is reflexive--- awareness of awareness (a posture of the mind). It is a subtle point, but it makes a difference since one is omnipresent and the other isn't.
