In this episode of Veda Sage, we delve into the profound distinction between Reflected Consciousness (Chitabasa) and Pure Consciousness (Nirguna Brahman), and their relevance in the path to self-realization. Through vivid analogies and deep inquiry, we explore:

  • The nature of duality and how assigning meanings creates resistance.
  • The transition from identifying as a Jiva (individual self) to understanding reflected consciousness and finally realizing pure consciousness.
  • The role of grace as a link between reflected consciousness and pure consciousness.
  • Inquiry and concentration as essential practices for self-realization.
  • The pitfalls of suppressing thoughts versus deeply understanding their nature.
  • Practical insights into dissolving ignorance and embodying truth.
  • Encouragement to transcend intellectual understanding through consistent application.

Join us on this transformative journey from reflections to the essence of being, uncovering the path to self-realization.
