The Power of Recognition

Featured Philosophy, Yoga Philosophy

In this discussion between Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Christopher Wallis, they discuss the nature of Consciousness and how we know anything that we know. And, as Swami Satchidananda always taught, enlightenment is nothing you need to “get” from outside or “achieve.” Rather, our True Nature is always awakened, we just don’t “recognize” it. Their discussion focuses on the The Recognition Sutras, which teaches one how to recognize and abide in essence-nature. This is a part of an ongoing series on The Recognition Sutras and the philosophy of nonduality.
