I tried to explain the so-called the prarabda of the mortal coil - interms of
prarabda of the matter - but not that of the jeevan mukta - otherwise mukta or
liberation has no meaning.  Secondly by statement - brahamvit brahaiva bhavati -
he has identified himself with brahman - It becomes a body prarabda to
"apparently undergo whatever it has to undergo - ex. cancer Ramakrishna had or
the Bhagavan Ramana had or being nailed to the cross as Jesus etc.- If there is
still an identification with the body - I am the body - then ignorence is still
there and realization, mukti, is not there yet.

Yes. this is logical and consistent with the concept that once realized one
never returns back to the ignorent state.

Hari Om!
