[Advaita-l] Shankara and DrishTi-SrishTi vAda - eka jeeva vaada

[Venkatraghavan S]

Please read Gita BhAshya for 4.24 - आत्मव्यतिरेकेण अभावं पश्यति, यथा
शुक्तिकायां रजताभावं पश्यति  and 9.34 - भूतप्रकृतिमोक्षं च =  भूतानां
प्रकृतिः = अविद्यालक्षणा अव्यक्ताख्या, तस्याः भूतप्रकृतेः | मोक्षणम् =
अभावगमनं च ये विदुः विजानन्ति. In both these statements, the status of the
world apart from Brahman is abhAva only. That is the context in which the
tucchatvam is being talked about.

Please understand the context of what is being said before making
statements like "please get into the spirit of the Upanishadic teachings."

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
