In the YouTube video "Where is God? " Swami Sarvapriyananda ji explores the idea that ignorance, not space or time, separates us from God. Indian philosopher Shankara in Hinduism posited that foolishness is the only thing that keeps us from God. The speaker references René Descartes and his famous quote "I think, therefore I exist," but notes that Descartes did not examine what it is that exists. Vidar Swami, a philosopher from the Vijaynagar Kingdom of Karnataka, is discussed as having written about this concept 300 years before Descartes. Swami investigated the nature of experiences, which are distinct but illuminated by one constant consciousness. He used the analogy of light illuminating various objects to explain consciousness. Swami demonstrated through subtle reasoning and experience that one is the Consciousness, or Brahman, and that this realization can be found by looking inward and understanding the distinction between Consciousness and thoughts, which is often obscured by ignorance. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing the underlying, undivided existence as Consciousness rather than focusing on names and forms to understand the nature of God.
