Advaita

Created: by Pradeep Gowda Updated: May 01, 2021

Heard about “nityaanityavivekachaara” via Arvind Iyer. Some more reading here - (Bhaja Govindam verse 30). (Feb 12, 2020).

Nityanitya vivekavicaram is the discrimination or viveka between nitya and anitya. Let my intellect be engaged in discrimination. Let me become an enquiring, thinking or contemplative person. Let me not take things for granted. There are so many notions and assumptions in our life, which we have never stopped to analyze. Therefore, let me consider what is nitya and what is anitya, or what is permanent and what is impermanent.
