Namaste Dennis, The Mukti or sage sees the world with his residual purified ,vijnanamayakosa, which is all that distinguishes him from the Universal Mind. However there is a function without the feeling 'I' am doing something.IMO. On dropping of the body all this mind disappears as having never ever existed. It seems the point you are making, which is the same as a lot other 'Advaitins' are making is that illusion and Brahman are one. This has some validity to Saguna Brahman, but as Saguna is ultimately unreal, we have to fall back on Nirguna and illusion never having happened at all...........Which is well evidenced in Sushputi and Samahdi..........ONS...Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
