Dear devotees,

 

I have some doubts which arise from the Sadanada's

explanation.

In so many words we have heard the explanation on

advaita.

Can we sumarize it like this:

 

-Brahman is the Ultimate Reality

 

-It is undividable, nonvarigated and non transformable

 

-Perception of this world, as well as one who

perceives and that which is perceived is only due to

illusion

 

-Individuality of the jiva, as well as of Iswara is

also only perceived due to the covering of illusion

 

-Only One thing exist, and nothing beyond it or

simultaneously with it - and that is Brahman

 

-So there are no two things (a - dvaita)

 

 

I have some questions and doubts which arrise naturaly

from my intelect (which is trying to protect my inborn

faith).

 

If Brahman is One without a second, what is the

shelter and origin of illusion?

 

How illusion which is nonintelligeble concept in

eternity can have any influence on Brahman which is

the ultimate Reality?

 

Even if illusion has any influence on Brahman, still

in order to appear as this universe, Brahman needs

either to divide, becomes variagated or transform

which is not possible?

 

Is there any scriptural proof which says that

individuality of consciousness, either of the jiva

(infinitesimal) or Iswara (unlimited) is just due to

covering of illusion and not its eternal intrinsic

caracteristic?

 

 

Also I am not able to understand the example given by

Sadananda about the gold and ornamets, which implies

substance and form to be reality and illusion.

Both substance and form are real concepts and I do not

understand this comparison were form is identified

with illusion.

 

I can agree that advaita as a concept might be true,

but in my heart i cannot accept this to be

attributless onenness - but rather organic unity.

 

Can somebody please help with proper explanation and

illumination on this points.

 

Also please correct my notions if i am wrong.

 

 

Thank you very much.

 

Yours sincerely,

damodar

PS. Also in relation to Ramakrishna's question.

 

Resently I have read that Sri Madhva sais that there

are four types of liberation.

 

salokya, samipya, sarupya and sayujya

 

Can somebody please explain what this four mean, and

what is Sri Vaisnava concept of jiva's position,

achievemets and condition after liberation?

 

Also I have read once that soul reaches sadharmya with

the Lord. What this means?

 

PPS. I would also humble request if the answers can be

on "normal" level, since I do not have formal training

in Sankrit or philosophy.

 

Thank you very much.
