Finding Peace | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Vedanta Talks

This lecture from Sarvapriyananda explores various paths to attaining inner peace. It discusses the yogic approach of stilling the mind through meditation, the devotional path of surrendering to God's will, and the philosophical approach of Vedanta that recognizes one's true nature as unattached awareness. He emphasizes that true peace comes from understanding one's essential nature as pure consciousness, unaffected by the changing circumstances of life. He explains several philosophical reasons why our true self is inherently unattached (asanga) to worldly experiences, drawing on concepts from Advaita Vedanta. The overall message is that recognizing our innate, unchanging nature as awareness leads to lasting peace.
