[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Real import of creation-sentences

[Bhaskar YR]

If srushti is immaterial in Advaita siddhAnta pratipAdana, please don’t try your hand / logic to prove DSV, SDV etc.  But it is a matter of fact that shankara quite categorically said: jagat kAraNa is brahman, he is the abhinna nimittOpadAna kAraNa, if there is no nAma rUpa creation, you would definitely not knowing that brahman is ultimately nirguNa, nirvishesha and prajnAna ghana.  And more importantly he announced Ishwara hetuka srushti is ‘vedAnta maryAda’.  Though ‘order’ of srushti is hardly the matter of concern to the shruti, the srushti itself is not just a joke in shruti / bhAshya.  The role of logic, limitations of dry logic etc. in siddhAnta nirNaya simply thrown out of window here.  Shrutyukta, anubhava sammata tarka is quite conspicuously absent here.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
