32 – The Whole Universe is a Vehicle for Our Realization of Freedom | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Self-awareness of our knowledge allows it to become practically useful and to become wisdom. Freedom is a state of inner completeness beyond the desire for any further freedom. The Sankhya theory of creation enumerates the categories of material and mental nature. This whole world is an instrument that helps us to realize our true nature. This nature is explained in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad as a dialogue between Janaka and Yajnavaklya. It is Atma-Jyoti, the light of Atman or consciousness. It is the light of all lights, the revealer of all revealers, the essence of all knowledge. Verses: II.18, II.19, II.20, II.21
