[Advaita-l] Question about Avaccheda vada

[Aditya Kumar]

An addition to my previous email:

Nityasattvastho could mean remain as Sat, pure existence (without dvandva) instead of remain in Sat. If the intended meaning was Sattva as in Sattva guna, it would have been perhaps nityasattvo AtmavAn. I might be wrong.

 Namaste,
  
  Actually it is dvaitAdvaita. 
  It is a commentary on Nimbarkas
 dashashloki 
  by a goswami of that school.
 
 A: Thanks for clarifying. In any case,
 it is the understanding of the purvapakshis, not to be found
 anywhere in the original bhashyas. 
  
  
  Even if that's true (it's not) this
 is
  not evidence.  The author is 
  describing
  the advaitic view not his own.  And
 historically the North
  
  Indian Vaishnava movements all came
 way
  after Advaitic doctrines were 
  already
  settled.
 
 A: One small instance is that some
 Advaitins have written commentary on a post 10th century
 Vaishnava work - Srimad Bhagvatam. Another instance is that
 Advaitins like SSS have started a debate over the
 settledness of Advaitic doctrine. As far as settledness is
 concerned, it is only between the teachers and their
 respective students. There is ample evidence that many
 Advaitic teachers improvised on Shankaras works and
 sometimes even flatly disagreed. When this is seen as a
 virtue, there is bound to be divergence from the original.
  
 
  
  No.  Read the
  very next line after the one you
 quoted.
 
 A: The keyword in the next line is
 'nityasattvastho'. Does this mean sattva guna or to always
 remain in Sat? Especially because he says nirdvandvo before.
 Now I am not very good at Sanskrit, actually a noob:-P but
 how can nityasattvastho be broken to mean sattva?
