[Advaita-l] Debunking Drishti-Srishti Vada and Eka Jiva Vada - part 1

[Aditya Kumar]

That's interesting. Thanks. In my humble opinion, this weakens the case for DSV/DSP. Although I wonder how DSV is much preferable for Upasana, when Tat Tvam Asi itself is difficult to accommodate. Not just that, there is no role for Ishwara in DSV and so the aspirant has to do upasana on his/her own self. Whether the upasana is on Eka Jiva or Eka Atma, probably each to their own!

It was pointed out to me that my citation from Anubhutiprakasha is
incomplete. Hence I am adding the next verse also to complete the same.



Verses 47 and 48, chapter 9



<<महासृष्ट्या  तत्पदार्थमादौ  ज्ञात्वा  ततः  पुनः ।  त्वंपदार्थं शोधित्वा
वाक्याद्  बोधो  विलम्बते ।

तस्मादिहाऽजातशत्रुर्बालाकेरविलम्बतः ।  प्रत्यग्ब्रह्मात्वबोधार्थं
दृष्टिसृष्टिमवोचत ।  >>



<< mahAsRRiShTyA  tatpadArthamAdau  j~nAtvA  tataH  punaH |  tvaMpadArthaM
shodhitvA  vAkyAd  bodho  vilambate |



tasmAdihA.ajAtashatrurbAlAkeravilambataH |  pratyagbrahmAtvabodhArthaM
dRRiShTisRRiShTimavochata |  >>



Clearly, Swami Vidyaranya does not consider  << तत्वमसि (tatvamasi) >> as
the appropriate mahAvAkya for his version of DSP.
