Ram Chandran/ignorance

[Guest guest]

Thank you very much Ram for your elegant

reframing of Max's insightful four points.

Your reframing "brings everything home"

in a most delightful way! I feel if

I can bring things home in this way, I

will be less likely to lead myself astray

in the heady fields of philosophy, debate,

trying to be correct, and so on.

May wisdom be present, and may our

ignorance be no barrier to this highest

wisdom of which you speak.

>>Ram Chandran:

>>The discussions on this thread is quite illuminating

and let me join Dan and Max to congratulate Frank

for his clarity and moderating ability. I have modified

Max's four points on a familiar framework where ignorance

is ever present. We do need its presence to continue this

discussion and understand that we are fallible!

>>1. We have understood or misunderstood what Shankara and

or Aurobindo perceived.

 

2. We have misunderstood Shankara, Aurobindo and have

perceived Jnanis incorrectly.

 

3. Due to our subjective bias toward Jnanis, we think that

they say different things about "Truth." Consequently, we even

go to the extent saying that Jnanis are fallible.

 

4. All our thoughts only demonstrate our

ignorance and the presence of wisdom is impossible

When thoughts are present.

 

regards,
