[Advaita-l] A question on Chaandogya III.14.1

[Ryan Armstrong]

Thank you Sri Chandramouli
This confirms the structure of the statement and is completely in line with
the explanation given by Sri Praveen.
In addition, you have provided a further source of discussion about the
Sruti itself and not simply the grammatical structure.
For this I am extremely grateful!

Yours in Truth
Ryan
