1 - The Glory of Human Birth and the Quest for Spiritual Freedom | Swami Tattwamayananda

Verses: 1, 2, 3, 4, 11-'Viveka-chudamani' as an introductory text on Advaita Vedanta. -Advaita is the highest philosophy and the highest spiritual experience. -The means and practices to reach that experience-The uniqueness and privilege of human birth in contrast to the millions of species in creation-Going beyond our physical nature-Worshiping the senses without seeking the higher spiritual goal is spiritual suicide.-Reflection and contemplation on the 'Atman', the Absolute spiritual reality is the only means for liberation.-The purpose of all actions is the purification of the mind.
