Namaste,
Let me be clear one more time.
I am not contesting anyone. Since an ender member has asked for clarification, I have tried to reply him to the best of my knowledge.
You will have to accept Advaita concepts like 2 levels of truths and 3 levels of truth, ignorance (avidya) is the root cause, adhikAra bheda, different explanations for different people depending upon their mental make-up, etc
If you are questioning the basic tenets of Advaita, then you are dialling wrong number. It is work of vidvans not mine. Not all are solders.
adhyAropa apavaDa is rediscovered by Swami Sacchidanendendra Sarasvati of Holenarsipur, who was direct disciple of shringeri Shankaracharya and I have provided commentaries of Adi Shankara which says that it is a traditional method.
Either you accept it or you do not.
I have observed here on HDF that non-advaitins who do not practice advaita, always have this kind of problems about authentic teachings. It is non-Advaitins who shout too much against advaita and tag neo advaita which is a word coined by a westerner. Practising Advaitins have never argued in this way.
It looks like non-advaitins are more expert and have a better understanding than practising advaitins. Separate Adi shankara from everything other than prasthantraiyi is a standard practice. Separate him from his biography is another practice.
BJ ji,
You / Vaishnava-s have wrong concept that Brahman actually gets deluded. Brahman never gets deluded. Jiva it is just a mental reflection according to Advaita.
Also note that mAyAvAda is taken as derogatory sense, as vaishnava-s have used it for derogatory purpose using Padma Purana verse. In this thread, I have not taken that word seriously.
Also note that accusation is done when nothing is left to question. It is a sign of intolerance. Logical objections are a different issue.
Aum
