[Advaita-l] Sleep, tamas and brahman

[Praveen R. Bhat]

​Namaste Kalyanji,

This is beyond ridiculous an argument, if at all that! Your quotation of
the bhAShya itself was responded to by me with TIkA on that very bhAShya
that you have misunderstood! And if you keep asserting that that is what
the Upa​nishad and the bhAShya says and you've not misunderstood, then you
need to be kind enough to explain to us as to for what reason is your
interpretation of the Upanishad and bhAShya "superior" to the TIkAkAra's!
And further, if that is your conclusion, how is anyone's explanation here
going to help you see otherwise?! In which case, I do not know the
intention behind your original question/post in the first place.

That said, best wishes.

Kind rgds,
--Praveen R. Bhat
