[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Quotes from samkshepa shaareeraka

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

Reg  // Rejecting SS necessitates the rejection of such reject-or himself
//,

I am not sure what SS or the commentator on the same, Sri MS, have to say
on the topic. Any interpretation of Advaita Siddhanta,  as advanced by Sri
Bhagavatpada, which involves  **progressive drishTis which mumukshu comes
to attain** is in my view certainly  hopelessly contrary to the SiddhAnta.
Indeed I deem it a blessing if such a vAda  were to reject me on its own,
even if I were to inadvertently  get ensnared by it. God’s Grace.
Regards
