Respected members,
Mother Sruti declares :

sa AtmA sa VijnEyaH || Mandukya mantra 7
>From the above quoted mantras it follows that
Aham which is myself and which is HERE and NOW
is BUmA, Atman, Brahman. And also I amanantam and advaitam.
I am HERE & NOW.
Hence where nAnuis there which is HERE & NOW,
There is no second thing besides me which can beseen,
Which can be heard or which can be thought about.
So I AM advaitatattva.
This is the only conclusion one that can be drawnfrom the above quoted Sruti mantras.
I request the the very well versed Scholars in Vedanta
to ponder over the implications of these mantrasand show how what has been stated in these mantras is a fact of life.
This litmus test to all the great scholars of this group.
With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy.
