[Advaita-l] pratiyogI-jnAna being mandatory for abhAva-jnAna

[Michael Chandra Cohen]

AUM Sudhanshuji. You assume x-jnana but elsewhere admit 'x-jnana' is
without any basis. We agree but point out as long as x-jnana is assumed,
Vedanta teaches us abhava x-jnana but not that there must be a pre-existing
positive abhava that is neither real nor unreal or some such
logical/illogical imagination as Ramanuja objected

Now I ask you on what basis do you assume jagat is mithya and that mukti is
a possibility?
