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

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

In SidhAnta Bindu, Sri MS lists the four prakriyAs  AdhyAsavAda,
PratibimbavAda, AvachedavAda and Drshtisrishti/EkajIvavAda. He also
mentions his view that Drshtisrishti/EkajIvavAda is the principal doctrine
of the Upanishads. However he concludes by recalling the famous BUBV verse
1-4-402  which states ** यया यया भवेत्पुंसा …… ** (yayA yayA bhavetpuMsA
….  ) ** All those methods by which men become convinced (of the true
nature) of the Self, should be known to be good and consistent (with the
main doctrine) **.

This implies that as per Sri MS,  all the prakriyAs lead to the same Goal.
There is no difference in the status of the sAdhaka who reaches the Goal
through whichever prakriyA. Your contention appears to imply that the
status is different depending upon whether SDV or DSV or AjAtivAda is
followed by the sAdhaka.

Please clarify where it is stated by Sri MS either in Advaita Siddhi or
SidhAnta Bindu that such a difference obtains.

Regards
