[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Re: Does the mukta/jnani see the world?

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste.

It is difficult to understand the discussion. Avoiding the words
waking/dream, if in any state one is able to recollect that there are other
states different from the one he is in at that time, it certainly means
different states of awareness are admitted by the person. It is quite
another matter as to which is more real or less real, or which is
dream/waking. There cannot be any controversy about the existence of
different states themselves.
