Tadany Um refúgio para a alma e um convite à consciência.
Vivekacuḍamaṇi_विवेकचूडामणि_Classes_AI-Generated-Summary_Class-100_Acharya-TadanyIn this landmark centenary class, Acharya Tadany delivered the final knockout blow to the illusion of conditional happiness by proving, through Śaṅkara’s razor-sharp logic and the immortal Yājñavalkya-Maitreyī dialogue from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, that nothing in the universe is loved for its own sake.
Everything is loved only for the sake of the Self.
And the means (sādhanam) like money, education, or relationships are loved only while they serve us, and even goals (sādhyam) like spouses, children, or achievements are ultimately loved only for the happiness they appear to give “me,” Revealing that the Self (ātmā) alone is unconditionally loved (nirupādhika prema) and is therefore the sole source of ānanda—not as an experience that comes and goes, but as our very nature (ānanda-svarūpa).
Acharya Tadany clarified that consciousness, when seemingly “enclosed” by the subtle body, appears limited and suffering (jīva), yet remains ever the untouched witness (sākṣī), never an object of experience; all gross and subtle experiences arise in it but do not affect it, just as dreams arise in deep sleep without disturbing the underlying peace.
The class culminated in the liberating insight that mokṣa is not acquiring something new, it is recognising that the ānanda we chase in objects was never missing, and the path is simply to hear the truth (śravaṇam), depart from the false identification (mananam), and abide in contemplation (nididhyāsanam) until the knowledge “I am the unconditional ānanda” becomes irreversible, rendering all conditional loves mere reflections of the one infinite love that is already ours.
