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

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhnshu Ji,

Thanks for the clarifications. I am not familiar with the tIkA on Samkshepa
SharIraka by Sri MS you have mentioned. But I have not come across Sri MS
taking a similar stand in any of his works like AS, SB etc.

Reg  //  My point is only this. Neither DSV nor SDV can take one to Moksha.
For they are within the vivarta-vAda which maintains the
prapancha-bhramatva //,

This is certainly alien to the Bhashya. Since I understand Advaita SidhAnta
through the Bhashya, such a stand does not appeal to me.

Regards
