6. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad - Mantras 2.4.7 - 2.4.10 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

This series focuses on one of the most luminous dialogues in all of Indian philosophy, between the sage Yajnavalkya and his wife Maitreyi, about the knowledge that leads to immortality. Swami Sarvapriyananda guides us through this celebrated passage from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with characteristic clarity and depth. Its radical insight: everything we love, we love not for its own sake, but because the infinite Self shines through it. When that Self is known, all is known, and nothing is ever truly lost.
