[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Shankara compares and contrasts Prātibhāsika, Vyāhārika and Pāramārthika

[Raja Krishnamurti]

It is a waste of time trying to convince someone at age 60 or 70. Vedanta, whether Advaitha or whatever. It. That is why it is said Shravanam, mananam and niddidyasam. While it is nice to discuss, now is the time to buy the book or listen to the knowledge of great Rishi’s and dwell on it and the realization comes automatically. Only needed as per my Guru is always faith always.Vedanta has to be practiced not just talked about.If any of you have something related to Vedanta, just put the link so we can do mananam and shravanam and niddhayasam. No one need to be convincing as everyone in this group is mature to do the right thing, I believe.With Om and Prem,Raja Krishnamurti

Namaste Michael,

Thanks, but I am not interested in continuing a discussion where a person
makes erroneous assumptions about my position and then concludes that what
follows from such a position is wrong.

Illogical and anirmoksha you say? So be it.

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
