Namaste Vaidya-ji.

Thanks for replying my doubts. I do have some further questions, please see

Agreed. I accept both the points. (a good summarization of foundation
indeed)

i.e.,

Very True. But my question is, after reaching there (liberation), can we say
above two base points  are unreal ?. This doubt is because, as Sri
Vidyasankar-ji mentioned in his previous post (as per Sri gauDapAda) , all
our foundation items of bondage/liberation/seeker of liberation are all not
there (or nothing ever happened as per Sri Kalyan) after reaching there. 

Did Sri gauDapAda meant "NO MORE bondage/liberation/seeker of liberation"
vs. our understanding of "NOT AT ALL existed bondage/liberation/seeker of
liberation what so ever" ?    

If he really meant the former, in that case, can we say all these
bondage/liberation/seeker of liberation/process of liberation are not real
ultimately ?  

Please share your thoughts.

Srinivas.
