31 – The Nature of Awareness and Self-Awareness | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The seer can be found in the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states. This is analyzed in the Mandukya Upanishad. In Vedanta, that which is changing is not absolutely real. The seen objects change, but the seer does not change. The process of knowing in Yoga and Vedanta has to be divided into the knowledge of an object and knowing that you know the object. In Vedanta, these two processes come together. When we get an intuitive knowledge of the self-awareness after long years of meditation, then we become aware of our nature as the eternal subject. Verse: II.20
