[Advaita-l] [advaitin] “Vighneshwara is the Jagat-karana Brahman” - says Shri Sarvajnatma Muni ji

A jnani can continue in believing in jagat karana etc. he just realizes
> that Brahman is not _only_ the jagat karana, that Brahman is so much
> _more_than jagat karan.

How do you then reconcile the statement of Anandagiri Swami in Vartika
1.4.372 -

कारणत्ववत्साक्षित्वमपि स्वाज्ञानकृतमित्युक्तमेव प्रसङ्गात्प्रकटयति.

The verse of vArtika is -

अज्ञानमात्रोपाधित्वादविद्यामुषितात्मभिः ।। कौटस्थ्यान्निर्द्वयोऽप्यात्मा
साक्षीत्यध्यस्यते जडैः ।। ३७२ ।।

So, one needs to admit that not only kAraNa-tva of Brahman, but even
sAkshi-tva is avidyA-krita. And if kAraNa-tva is avidyA-krita, it is bound
to be negated with the advent of jnAna.
