[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Unambiguous statement of Akhandakara vritti in the Gita Bhashyam

[Bhaskar YR]

The purpose of the akhaNDAkAravRtti is not the revelation of Brahman - for Brahman is self-effulgent, rather it is the removal of avidyA, which obscures the true nature of the Atma as Brahman.

I agree with this.  brahmAvagati is not the result of AAV OTOH attaining brahman or realization of our svarUpa is just the removal of avidyA, apart from removal of avidyA there is no second obstruction that comes in our way…and shAstra too which is ultimate pramANa to realize brahman does not objectify the brahman to have the vrutti on THAT.  Ofcourse we all agree that brahman is NOT an object of any action and at the same time for the pedagogical purpose we say shAstra is the means of knowing IT.  But shAstra’s scope ends with wiping off the distinctions superimposed on brahman by avidyA and shAstra does not teach the brahman as such and such a thing.  It is svayaM siddha, svayam prakAshita an Aprameya aparOksha tattva.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
