[Advaita-l] The fate of mind after realization

The example of mirage-water is most appropriate imho.

>  When I was thinking about the suvarNAbharaNa I was just thinking about the 'practical utility' of this karaNa even after the dawn of jnana.  As we know both vidyA and avidyA are vrutti-s only will take place in mind only.  So after this jnana, jnAni would see a ring as ring only, necklace as necklace only and wear it at its appropriate place by knowing the substratum is gold only.  When both the jnAni and ajnAni see the sheep they will see sheep only, and sheep vrutti only would general in both the minds but former will have the abedha drushti and later will have parichinna bedha drushti i.e. sheep is something different from him.  The samadarshitva or Atmaikatva darshana would not annihilate the duality instead it sublates the duality.  Hence it is called vyavahAra bAdhita jnana not vyavahAra abhAva jnana.  When I was giving the water-foam-bubble-wave example I was having the bhAshyakAra analogy in sUtra bhAshya 2-1-13 where he gives this example ' samudrAdudakAtmanOnanyatvepi tadvikArANAM fena-veechee-taranga-budbudaadeenaaM etaretara vibhAgaH......na cha samudrAdudakaAtmanOnanyatvepi tadvikArANAM fenatarangaadeenaam etaretarabhAvApattirbhavati. Na cha teshAmitaretara bhAvAnApattAvapi samudrAtmanaH ananyatvaM bhavati.  Though we cannot say bhOkru & bhOgya are one and the same in transactional reality it is ultimately not different from brahman.  annaM annAda, shlOkakarta.  Same drushti further explained by bhAshyakAra in geeta bhAshya : sarveshu brahmAdisthAvarAntareshu vishameshu sarvabhUteshu samaM nirvishesham brahmAtmaikatva vishayaM darshanaM jnAnaM yasya saH sarvatra samadarshanaH.  

>  And this karaNa atleast as per bhAmati vyAkhyAna would not go anywhere, as they have to use this karaNa to continue jnAnAbhyAsa even after the dawn of paramArtha jnAna and vivaraNa followers do need this to make it inert in a particular state called NS to have the literal experience of AtmaikatvaM.  

>  I am curious to know how mrugatrushNa is more appropriate example.  

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
