Talk 66 : Verses 207-212The anandamaya kosha or bliss sheath is explained through its various changing attributes, and with reference to the state of deep sleep. The five sheaths being negated, the Jiva must get out of the false identification to realise the Atma as being other than the pancha kosha. The nature of Atman as the pure unalloyed Bliss and the sakshi of the 3 states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep are then discussed.Please support this channel by pressing the subscribe button

Talk 59 - Verse 171-175 This talk continues on the negation of the mind which itself is the cause of bondage due to its rajasic and tamasic tendencies. This same mind can be purified with Sattva Guna - Vishudh Sattva and become a cause for liberation. The sadhana practice of assertion of the nature of Atman through a predominance of Vivek and Vairagya purifies the mind which detaches the seeker from objects, drops cravings for it, leading to liberation.Please support this channel by
