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

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Bhaskar ji,

On what basis are you claiming that what the vyAkhyAnakAras have written is
mere dry logic and not anubhava sammata shrutyukta tarka? Are you
personally aware of their lack of anubhava?

Just calling something 'mere logic' does not make it so. Do you know this
position is not backed by the shruti? In fact several shruti statements
refer to a bhAvarUpA avidyA.

Similarly calling something anubhava sammata does not make it so - unless
it is your own anubhava, what statement can you make regarding anyone
else's? Just having anubhava does not make it valid - one has anubhava of a
snake where there is rope. Does that make such an anubhava, prAmANika?

Same goes for the term shuddha shAnkara prakriyA. Sri SSS calls it shuddha
shAnkara prakriyA while contradicting all the vyAkhyAnakAras. We are
debating whether that name is valid for what he has proposed. Until that is
determined for a fact, that is also not prAmANika.

These are all names and we cannot debate something on the basis of what one
calls it, because another person can call it something else.

If you are not willing to or able to argue your position, that does not
make the other person who is willing to argue a "mere logician" or their
argument lacking anubhava. That is an unfair characterisation.

Kind regards,
Venkatraghavan
