[Advaita-l] Functions of the mind

[KAMESWARARAO MULA]

Further, an argument can be made here that Bhagavatpadacharya chose that
very particular dhAtu DukR~n karaNe, to show that karaNa = karma won't lead
to mukti (directly).


Dear Sh. Praveen Bhatt Saab,                                                  Happy to discuss again  with your logical analysis on the statement:
to show that karaNa = karma won't lead to mukti (directly)."

First I say whether it is KaraNa Karma or what ever may be it (Sanchita/Prarabda), It is an obstacle to Mukti directly or indiretly
Karma doesn't allow you to have the Transdance of the mind & it won't allow you to be at a place to have peaceful life.Karma always makes any one to roam around so that the remaing balance is get rid off i.e Karma Kshaya
What I want to bring the point here is KARMA always dictates the mind if some one doesn't have a control over it or if ego overpowers the mind.
I saw a few people, however they are big in their knowledge or power, they always down to earth  & so simple in their approach due to the fact that ego can't control their mind.
I am not clear with your saying that KaraNa Karma won't lead to mukti (directly), Please elaborate using sastra on this so that we have clear understanding on the functions of the Mind & its Transcdance.
