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

[Lokesh Sharma]

श्रीमन् सुधांशुवर्य

भावत्वं तमस अवश्यं स्वीकृतं स्यात् । न तत्र आपत्तिं करोमि । किन्तु भवता
उक्तं यत् तमः पार्थिवं वर्तते । एतस्य प्रमाणं न पश्यामि ।

यावत् मम अवगमनं वर्तते भावत्वं नाम पार्थिवं न । सुखमपि एक भावः ।
रागद्वेषोत्साहमानहर्षादि अपि भावत्वेन स्वीक्रीयते यद्यपि तानि
पार्थिववस्तूनि न सन्ति ।

ॐ
