On interpretation

 

 

Does someone knows how to interpret those few lines in The Spiritual

Teaching of Ramana Maharshi?

 

<< Disciple: Does Bhagavan condemn Dvaita philosophy?

 

Maharshi: Dvaita can subsist only when you identify the Self with the

not-self. Advaita is nonidentification. >>

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Antoine

hi antoine, friends

 

it is simply just as it says: the "self" is all including, one and only.

there is no individual "i". so any identification whatsoever is a

mistake, and enhances the illusion of separate existence. advaita, or

"non-dualism" is realization of this, and is realized through non

identifying the self with anything ("neti neti neti"). this realization

downs initially by self inquiry - dismissing all apparent arising "i"

thoughts, and then - simply by abiding....

 

dwaita, or dualistic "philosophy", dividing what is into apparent pairs

of opposites (including 'dvaita' and 'advaita' lol) exists apparently

only in the absence of this knowledge.

 

"the moon is more important then the sun" declared nasrudin in the

chaishop. "there is anyway light during the day, but at night we need

the light more... all know how dark it is at moonless nights"

Thank you Yosi,

 

I did not know the meaning of dwaita as dualistic. Makes my reading more

clear. Thank you again.
