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

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

Namaste Chandramouli ji, Venkat ji.

I am just laughing out loud. What fun!!

//Don't tell me he differentiates avidyA and ajnAna! // //He does
differentiate differentiate avidyA and ajnAna !!!//

I don't think SSS ji or for that matter any student of advaita can do this.
If a quote can be given from his books - it will help.

I was a member of their group for last two-three years. But none mentioned
it ever.

As per my understanding, SSS ji does not distinguish ajnAna and avidyA. He
holds mithyA+jnAna and ajnAna (=avidyA) as identical by relying on adhyAsa
bhAshya. However, when confronted with situations such as MK 1.11 or NS
3.7, he changes his stand. He seeks to explain this kAraNa-ajnAna as some
sort of logical presupposition etc. A lame explanation.

Regards.
