[Advaita-l] mithyA and abhAva chatuShTaya

[H S Chandramouli]

Pranams.

As I mentioned in my earlier mail, rope-snake illustration is given for
understanding what is meant by experienced nonexistence. It is not in the
context of 2-satta or 3-satta vada.  Whether 2-satta vada or 3-satta vada,
what I have mentioned earlier about Mithyatvam is applicable.
