[Advaita-l] Interpreting "abhEda" shruti vAkyas

[Jay Nelamangala]

Bhaskar Prabhu-jI,

Thanks for quoting shwEtAshwatara.

The answer to your where is the question of seperate jIva?
 comes from the same shwEtAshwatara that you are quoting.

"jnA ajnou  dvou ajou Isha aneeshou"  Shw. Up.  1-9

(There are two that are  anAdi - sarvajna and alpajna - one is
Isha - svatantra  and the other is aneesha - asvatantra )

I rest my case.

We will look into the meaning of all the other shruti-vAkyas in their
proper "context" one at a time.   Again,  no need to mention that
there is a dvaita context  and  an advaita context  in the upanishats.

There is only one context for all of us in the upanishats,  whether you
have chosen to ignore that context or taken it into account,  is the
question.
My contention is that you don't have that choice to beginwith.

Harihi Om Tatsat,
