Pranams श्रीमल्ललितालालितः,
Reg << If you want to tell that घट is perceived by a vRtti, and the आकार of
the
same is घटः सन् then how are you denying perception of सत्? >>,
I am saying that सत् is not perceived as Brahman. Can you deny that ?
Reg << This is a vAda, where nothing wrong is spared.>>,
You are misinterpreting my statement and attributing wrong conclusions.
What can I do.
Pranams and Regards
