RE: nethi nethi

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Here are some general comments:

1. sAdhana involves both the seer and the seen.

2. seen is a reflection of the seer.

3. It follows from (1) that mantra and yantra

involve both the seer and the seen. If a need is

felt for whatever reason to draw a line between

seer and the seen, one may use vedantic reasoning.

4. Finally sAdhanA is personal and there can be

no general rules.

 

(There are some people who believe the goal of sAdhanA

is to negate prakRti, I personally feel that sAdhanA

is to transcend prakRti, i.e. prakRti continues to

exist without binding the seer.)

 

Regards,

Shrinivas
