Verification of upanishadic statements

[Guest guest]

OM TAT SAT

Dear list members, I think we all have intellectual understanding of

Advaita - it is fairly simple except maybe the part about the

reality/mithya/unreal nature of world. Personally, I am just

spinning my wheels without making "any progress" in my sadhana or

maybe I am even going in reverse or maybe I am learning something

each time I falter. I want to know, how far folks have experienced

the upanishadic statements, especially about consciousness. This is

a subjective experience and it is difficult to describe. Maybe the

experiencer, experiencing and experience are all merged into one. I

am not trying to throw a challenge for Vedanta or trying to judge

who is a sthithpragya or not. I am just trying to check with

members, if their conviction, experience, contemplation, reflection

etc matches with the absolute reality of Advaita. All the volumes

that are available on Advaita and the numerous upanishads,

ultimately amount to "Consciousness is Brahman" in my humble

opinion. I want to hear (maybe anonymously or email directed only to

me), if folks have experienced this great mahavakya.

On a related note, when I can see my thoughts and sometimes

even "see" a budding thought, who is seeing this ? Is it my buddhi

or is it consciousness ?

 

thanks,

OM TAT SAT
