[Advaita-l] MOKSHA or MUKTI - Does Jnaani has Raga-Dweshas?

[H S Chandramouli]

Pranams Sri Sadananda Ji,

A quick initial response.

Reg  << Krishna makes two statements which are contradictory.
mastaani sarva bhuutani ... and in the very next sloka He says - na cha
mastaani bhuutani. Both statements are correct if we understand the
corresponding reference states >>,

They are not contradictory statements. All it means is that the two should
be taken together to get a proper understanding of what is stated.
Conclusions should not be drawn takeing them singly and independantly.

Regards
