[Advaita-l] [advaitin] The Upanishad and Shankara hold 'tamas' darkness, to be a 'thing.'

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

हरि ॐ लोकेशवर्य,

तमसो भावरूपत्वमद्वैतवेदान्ते भाष्यवचनैः पुनश्च प्रमाणैरपि सुष्ठु
प्रतिष्ठितं वर्तते। भाष्यवचनानि तु अत्रैव सुब्रह्मण्यमवर्यैः प्रथमसंदेशे
प्रदत्तानि। प्रमाणानां जिज्ञासा यदि भवत्सु विद्यते तर्हि विवरणादयो ग्रन्था
भवद्भिरवलोकनीयाः।

अत्रेदं उल्लेखनीयं यत् न केवले अद्वैतवेदान्ते परं तु माध्वाचार्याणां
रामानुजाचार्याणां चापि मते तमसो भावरूपत्वं स्वीकृतमेव वर्तते।

सुधांशु
