Jnana- Moksha

[Guest guest]

Namaste Friends,

I noticed an interesting discussion about ADHYASA in this

group. I wish to point out that the concept of Adhyasa is hinted in

Brahmanandi's works as quoted by Madhusudhana Saraswathi in his commentary on

Samkshepa Shariraka.

 

But is was reserved for that great Genius of Sri Shankaracharya to blow it

with his great Acumen and validate it in the present held form of

superimposition. Before Him, the concept was there but in an under-developed

form. It was He who clarified it showing it to be a one of universal

experience.

 

I invite all of our friend's attention to the conspicious silence

of His direct disciple Sri Suresvaracharya to whom it is non-apprehension. Can

anyone elucidate.

Namaste Subramaniangaru,

 

Will you kindly give the reference for your statement?

 

In Naishkarmyasiddhi,[univ. of Mysore, 1965; tr.S.S.Raghavachar; p.

101; Ch.3, verse 20], he says:

 

samyaksa.nshayamithyaatvairddhiirevaeya.n vibhajyate .

haanopaadanatamiishhaaM mohaadadhyasyate dR^ishau ..

 

It is the mind itself that assumes diverse forms such as correct

knowledge, doubt and false understanding. The emergence and cessation

of these are attributed to the pure consciousness itself by delusion.

 

In Manasollasa, [samata Books, 1978, 3rd ed.; pp. 142-155; Chs.

7:21-32 & 8:1-27;]( a commentary on Shankara's Dakshinamurti Stotra),

he says:

 

asatkalpamida.n vishvamaatmanyaaropyate bhramaat.h .

svayaM prakaasha.n sadruupaM bhraantibaadhavivarjitam.h .. 7:30

 

The illusion removed, the self-luminous and existent Reality, never

(Himself) subject to illusion or contradiction, is recognised as He

is. 7:30

 

mithyaatva.n naama baadhyatva.n samyagj~naanodaye sati . 8:10

 

Falseness [mithyaatva] consists in being nullified when right

knowledge arises.

 

He has used all the metaphors that Shankara has used.

 

 

Regards,

 

s.
