[Advaita-l] when eyes are closed / opened

[Durga Prasad Janaswamy]

Om Sri Gurubhyonamah

Hari Om,

Namaste.

There is one sAdhana pakSha prakriyA for jij~nAsu  and  there is one sidda
pakSha prakriyA  for j~nAnI.

1. A  jij~nAsu follows vyatireka prakriyA ,  niShedha mukha  ,  apavAda ,
 bAdha sAmAnyadhikaraNa (व्यतिरेक प्रक्रिया ,  निषेध मुख  ,  अपवाद ,  बाध
सामान्यधिकरण).
He is instructed to discriminate between nitya vastu  and anitya vastu.
He follows Brahma satyam ,  jagat mithyA.
Please note that discrimination requires  bheda buddi.

2. A j~nAnI is not bound by the above. For him,  all this is Brahman.
He follows anvaya prakriyA ,  vidhi mukha  ,  adhyAropa ,  mukhya
sAmAnyadhikaraNa. (अन्वय प्रक्रिया ,  विधि मुख  ,  अध्यारोप ,  मुख्य
सामान्यधिकरण) .

3.  So long as  it is perceived that mithyA prapaMcha is seperate and satya
AtmA is seperate, then the meaning of the word mithyA is not fully
appreciated.
Why? because mithyA vastu is never a stand-alone vastu .

mithyA and satya are not two vastu .
mithyA is one which is kalpita in satya rUpa Ashraya (सत्य रूप आश्रय) ,
bhAsamAna (भासमान) in satya rUpa Ashraya , dissolves (लीन) in satya rUpa
Ashraya and svarUpataH (स्वरूपतः) it is satya only.


yat yasmin adhyastaM bhavati mithyA  bhavati adhyaropitaM  bhavati
pratIyate pratItaM bhavati
tat tasmAt svAdhiShThAnAt ki~nchidapi pRRithak na bhavati.

( यत् यस्मिन् अध्यस्तं भवति, मिथ्या  भवति, अध्यरोपितं  भवति, प्रतीयते
प्रतीतं भवति
तत् तस्मात् स्वाधिष्ठानात् किञ्चिदपि पृथक् न भवति | )
