[Advaita-l] [advaitin] SSSS on the controversy between mulav7idya and abhavarupa - directly and simply explained as per SSSS

One of the grounds of rejection employed by SSS ji in his works is
- भाष्य-अक्षर-बहिर्भावात्. Since your argument is outside the letters of
bhAshya, it is rejected.

I wonder if Adi Shankara Himself comes and says - "look, it is mUlAvidyA
itself which I meant in bhAshya, and it is mAyA itself which I meant by
avidyA etc" - He would be replied back - your statement is rejected --
भाष्य-अक्षर-बहिर्भावात्

So, 2+2 = 4 is wrong, भाष्य-अक्षर-बहिर्भावात्.

Such persons should be told back - this approach of yours is itself
rejectable, भाष्य-अक्षर-बहिर्भावात्. After all bhAshya never said that
something can be rejected on account of it not being found within bhAshya.
It is your fertile imagination that something can be rejected if it is not
present in bhAshya.

This is the approach of fanatics and not of those who want to find truth.

Regards.
