[Advaita-l] drushti and satya

[Anbu sivam2]

Dear Bhaskarji,

Quote: "there is no need to label our avidyA vyavahAra or avidyA drushti as
'vyAvahArika' satta!!"

We should not lose sight of certain important background that should dictate
our understanding.  Let me detail it.

a) If all the jeevas have attained MOksha then there is no need for the
world of samsaara and there would not be any need for creation.  Thus the
idea of creation is that there are jeevas who are to enjoy and suffer due to
their praarabhdha karma.

b) There could be two persons looking at the rope but only one sees it as
snake and gets frightened.  Getting frightened is not sukham but dhukkam.
This ought to be karmaphala.  This is in conformity with the idea that all
have been destined by the Lord only for the enjoyment and the suffering of
the jeeva.  If it is not the case, then the creation will be meaningless.

c) This pegs the question if prathibhaasika satta and vyavahaarika satta are
one and the same as far as the jeeva is concerned.

d) This is where the intellect takes it at a tangent considering them as
being different, is it not?

Regards,
Anbu
