Class 98, vivekacūḍāmaṇi

Acharya Tadany.

In this class, Acharya Tadany explained that mantra chanting is always beneficial, even when the mind wanders, because the action itself generates punyam and gradually purifies the mind. 

He clarified the nature of the subtle body (sūkṣma śarīram), which continues after death carrying our tendencies, personality, and vāsanās into future lives. 

The central focus of spiritual practice, he emphasized, is Citta Śuddhi—purification of the mind—because a purified mind makes the understanding of Vedānta natural and effortless. 

Acharya Tadany distinguished between Sukham (experiential pleasure) and ātmā’s anānda (one’s inherent, permanent bliss), explaining that happiness and suffering belong only to the mind, not to the Self. 

Through śruti, logic, experience, and the wisdom of sages, Śaṅkarācārya demonstrates that ātmā is anānda svarūpa—complete, ever-present bliss that is not an experience but our true nature. 

Acharya recommendation: continue spiritual practices with sincerity, reduce identification with the mind, and remember that true fulfillment is already within you.
