[Advaita-l] [advaitin] ajnAna is different from jnAna-abhAva, mithyA-jnAna and mithyA-jnAna-samskAra

The second explanation is, however, given only to satisfy the enquirer. It is said that all karma is burnt away leaving prarabdha alone. The body is said to continue in the functions for which it has taken its birth. That is prarabdha. But from the jnani’s point of view there is only the Self which manifests in such variety. There is no body or karma apart from the Self, so that the actions do not affect him.'

Yes, answers like this aimed at those who still identifying the jnAni with his shareera and asking / doubting about his activities.  But jnAni himself knows or has the realization that ashareeratvaM is his svAbhAvika svarUpaM and he was / is / never will be kartru-bhoktru and there was never ever existence of avidyA in his svarUpa jnAna.  But still some would ask the question how jnAni can continue in HIS body, how he can ACT, how he can do bhikshAcharya etc.  for that bhAshyakAra standing in their own platform answers :  akatrAtmabodhOpi hi mithyAjnAnabAdhanena karmANyucchinatti, bAdhitAmapi tu mithyAjnAnaM dvichandrajnAnavat saMskAravashAt kanchitkAlaM anuvartata eva.  By the way it is really really very strage that those who are giving ontological status to avidyA talking about these things and at the same time arguing about Kalpita prapancha/shareera etc. by throwing the questions like do you have shareera in dream or deep sleep etc. 😊 very funny indeed.
