Jacquelyn Eckert and Anne Blanchard interviewed James Swartz. James notes that Vedanta, \u201c<em>The knowledge that ends the quest for knowledge<\/em>\u201d is not a philosophy or a mystical path. It is a proven means of self-knowledge compiled over thousands of years by countless Indian Seers that systematically reveals the nature of reality and our place and purpose in it.\u00a0 For the inquirer, it irrevocably removes the ignorance that causes suffering, leaving only the awareness of who we are: limitless consciousness, whole and complete. Once this knowledge is assimilated and the Self is revealed, all existential suffering comes to an end, you are set free.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from an impeccable lineage and endowed with 40 plus years of teaching experience, James unveils this timeless knowledge with clarity, candor and humor.\u00a0 He has become one of Vedanta\u2019s most powerful voices for East and West alike. His website\u00a0<strong>Shiningworld.com<\/strong>\u00a0is a major resource of non-dual wisdom and his best-selling book \u201c<em>How to Attain Enlightenment\u201d<\/em>\u00a0has taken the spiritual world by storm.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Awakening Together Satsang with James Swartz\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iXcg6_Cp4y4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the audio or watch the video below.
