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

[Jaishankar Narayanan]

Namaste,

Those who base their entire kapola kalpita dushprakriya on one sentence in
adhyAsa bhAshya complain about one citation. Even if you give more than one
citation, still it will not satisfy those who have closed their minds.

Another funny thing is they will say very confidently that whatever you say
is never to be found in PTB as though they are the only ones reading PTB.
For example one SSS follower told me avidya is never mentioned as an upadhi
in PTB. After I gave one citation it was not enough. Then I gave 2 more and
he never responded after that.

Logic also is not their forte. In fact one SSS follower was arguing that
logic is not important as it is anyway adhyAropa. Rama Rama!

With love and prayers,

Jaishankar
