Q&A session lead by Swami Sarvapriyananda as part of a spiritual retreat at the Vedanta Society of New York on February 9th, 2020. List of questions with timestamps:
• 6:25 -- How to know the Self when It cannot be objectified? Is inference sufficient?
• 27:30 -- While we agree that waking, dreaming, and deep sleep are experienced in consciousness, why can't we say that they are real instead of unreal since they are indeed experienced?
• 44:50 -- If the realization of atman is an experiential reality, then why is there a logical conflict between different spiritual traditions? Does it mean that the realized master's have different experiences?
• 54:35 -- If consciousness illumines Maya, then why does it need the support of Maya to realize itself?
