Spontaneous Satsangas with Sachidananda Acharya and his Shishyas [students] - #4 VICTOR [18/12/2023]
This is one of several Satsangas [spiritual dialogues] between Sachidananda Acharya and his Swedish shishya, [student] Victor.
Victor's spiritual journey began subtly and unknowingly from his childhood. Despite he had a normal upbringing and seemingly good secular life, he always experienced a sense of unfulfillment and a continuous low-key sadness throughout his childhood and early adult life.
One day, there came a point where the sense of unfulfillment and sadness became overwhelming, and in a moment of despair, a question arose: "There must be more to life than this!" Fueled by that spontaneous question, he searched for an answer and found the spiritual traditions of the East and the non-dual traditions of the West.
Now, as a dedicated follower of Advaita Vedanta, he follows the teachings and pursues the traditional path of Sravanam, Mananam, and Nidhi Dhyasanam under the guidance of Sachidananda Acharya.
In Advaita Vedanta, this stage [one-to-one Satsanga] is called Mananam, whereby after receiving Teachings from a qualified Guru, [Sravanam] the student asks the Guru questions to clarify his understanding and to overcome any doubts he might have, in order that he may proceed to the final stage of Nidhi Dhyasanam [Vedantic Meditation].
In the tradition of Adi Shankaracharya it is said that the means to profoundly understand your True Nature or Self as Brahman, Awareness, Consciousness is revealed through the Teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the Guru Parampara and the Guru. Through this methodology, you will be able to recognize and be convinced permanently of That which Is You.
In Sanskrit, the syllable gu means darkness and the syllable ru means remover, thus the term Guru literally means the one who removes darkness. Superficial intellectual understanding like gathering information, has no power to remove the darkness of ignorance on its own.
In fact, if you have just a superficial intellectual understanding alone, this may even increase your pride. It is only by relying on a qualified Guru who is part of a holy tradition and whose methods have been proven to work again and again, that you can profoundly understand your True Nature or Self as Brahman, Awareness, Consciousness.
In our tradition, the methodology employed by the Guru is Sravanam, Mananam and Nidhi Dhyasanam. Sravanam means to listen to the teachings; Mananam to contemplate deeply the meaning of the teachings and to remove any doubts through dialogue with the Guru and Nidhi Dhyasanam means to meditate deeply on the meaning of the instructions, such as the Mahavakyams [Great Statements of Truth], having first removed all doubts.
Through the grace of the Guru, the blessings of the holy lineage and Sravanam, Mananam and Nidhi Dhyasanam, we give ourselves the greatest opportunity to profoundly understand – on a permanent basis - our True Self as Awareness, Consciousness, Brahman.
