[Advaita-l] Antaryāmī is Nirupādhika Brahman - Shankara

[Venkatesh Murthy (वेङ्कटेशः सीतारामार्यपुत्रः)]

Namaste

But there are Pramanas for Siva only to be the Atman and Para Brahman
of the Upanishads.

प्रपञ्चोपशमं शान्तं शिवमद्वैतं चतुर्थं मन्यन्ते स आत्मा स विज्ञेयः
इत्यदिश्रुतिषु आत्मन् शब्दस्य परशिवप्रतिपादकत्वात् न अन्यार्थकत्वम् ।

तथा ’तदादिमध्यान्तविहीनमेकं विभुं चिदानन्दमरूपमद्भुतम् । उमासहायं
परमेश्वरं प्रभुं त्रिलोचनं नीलकण्ठं प्रशान्तम् । ध्यात्वा मुनिर्गच्छति
भूतयोनिं
समस्तसाक्षिं तमसः परस्तात्’ इत्यादिव्यपदेशाच्च ।

What you are saying is Nirupadhika is Siva only.
