Finding Peace | Swami Sarvapriyananda

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. 🙏 Please Support the Vedanta Society of New York http://www.vedantany.org/donate 🌐 Please Visit Us Website: https://vedantany.org Apple & Spotify Podcasts: https://www.vedantany.org/media-channels YouTube (Main Channel):    / @vedantany   YouTube (Archives):    / @vedantanyarchives   Facebook:   / vedantany   X / Twitter:   / vedantany   📙 Books by Swami Sarvapriyananda https://www.vedantany.org/swamis-books Lecture Series by Swami Sarvapriyananda 📓 Introductory Lectures: https://www.vedantany.org/introductor... 📚 Vedanta Scriptures: https://www.vedantany.org/by-scriptures 🧩 Lectures by Topics: https://www.vedantany.org/by-topic 💬 AskSwami Q&A: https://www.vedantany.org/ask-swami-qa 📖 Scriptures Taught by Swami Sarvapriyananda    • Aparokshanubhuti | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Bhagavad Gita | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Brihadaranyaka Upanishad | Swami Sarvapriy...      • Dṛg Dṛśya Viveka | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna | Swami Sarv...      • Isha Upanishad | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Katha Upanishad | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Kena Upanishad | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Mandukya Upanishad | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Mundaka Upanishad | Swami Sarvapriyananda      • Vedantasara of Sadananda | Swami Sarvapriy...   🪔 About Vedanta Vedanta is among the world’s oldest spiritual philosophies and one of its most inclusive.
