This is wonderful... I will be listening again and again... thank you : )

Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the fifth stage of knowledge (Direct Knowledge - Aparoksha-Jnana) as taught in the 7th chapter of Pancadasi (by Vidyaranya). This discourse is inspired by a verse from the Brihadharanyaka Upanishad (Mantra 4.4.12):  "If a man knows the Self as ‘I am this,’ then desiring what and for whose sake will he suffer in the wake of the body?" 

Mantra 4.4.12:
आत्मानं चेद्विजानीयादयमस्मीति पूरुषः ।
किमिच्छन्कस्य कामाय शरीरमनुसंज्वरेत् ॥ १२

Direct Knowledge | Swami Sarvapriyananda

The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult to control than the wind" - Bhagavad Gita (6.34)
"Lord Krishna said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, what you say is correct; the mind is indeed very difficult to restrain. But by practice and detachment, it can be controlled" -  Bhagavad Gita (6.35)
Inspired by these verses, Swami Sarvapriyananda provides invaluable guidance on improving our meditation.

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Katha Upanishad, one of India's most revered texts which is also a part of the Vedas. It is a collection of philosophical poems representing a conversation between the sage Naciketas and Yama (god of death). They discuss the nature of Atman, Brahman and Moksha(liberation).
