Since Sri Sadananda Ji has not responded so far to this , I thought of just
clarifying the advaita position in this regard as per my understanding.
The “eka vijnaana “ intended here is not what Sri Srinath Ji has mentioned.
The “eka vijnaana “ refers to jIva-brahma aikya vijnaana as exemplified in
the Ch Up 6-8-7 shruti vaakya
<< स य एषोऽणिमैतदात्म्यमिदꣳ सर्वं तत्सत्यꣳ स आत्मा तत्त्वमसि श्वेतकेतो >>
<< sa ya eSho.aNimaitadAtmyamidaꣳ sarvaM tatsatyaꣳ sa AtmA tattvamasi
