[Advaita-l] The Foundations of Adhyāsa - 8 (The Three States)

[Ravi Kiran]

pranams Sri Bhaskar ji

**  there is no doubt that jnAni's svapna vishaya too prApanchika. But
bhAshyakAra clarifies that jnAni clearly knows that none of these states is
in him. Ofcourse **  you would agree that all the three states are only
features (deha dharma) of the body and the jnAni too who due to his
prArabdha continue to have
** these functions even after samyak jnana.

Yes, as mentioned in chandogya - तस्य तावदेव चिरं यावन्न विमोक्ष्येऽथ
सम्पत्स्य इति    ( tasya tAvadeva chiram…there is delay only till such time
the body falls)

** So, jnAni's dream is comparatively more matured and sanctified  than
that of ajnAni because of his svarUpa jnana  :-)

I see  :-)

Thanks
