[Advaita-l] Binary nature of Jnana

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Chandramouli ji,

Re: "The issue here is that in texts like Vichara Sagara, it is contended
that
while repetition of Shravana (minus MahAvAkya) may be required, there is no
need for repetition of the MahAvAkya itself (as part of the repeated
Shravana) for Realization."

Can you clarify where in the Vichara Sagara this is stated? Is it a direct
reference or an inference that you have drawn?

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
