Namaste All,

 

At the fair the thimble rigger tries to lure the gamblers. He has three little

cups and under

one of them is a pea. Swiftly he moves the cups around sometimes taking the pea

under one cup

and then under another so fast that you cannot follow it. The gamblers bet

where the pea is

when he's finished. Savithri-ji has mentioned the problem whereby a confusion

arises as to

where the 'pea' of the topic lies (topic from Gk.topos, a place). Is it under

the paramarthika

or the vyavaharika thimble. I submit that there is another thimble in there

which compounds the

difficulty. I mean that of the metaphysical which relates to issues such as

material identity

and non-difference of cause and effect. Sometimes these issues and theories

are treated as

though they were part of the Absolute when in fact they are in the domain of the

Relative as

being the first principles of the Relative. At other times they are treated as

though they were

analogical of the Absolute and we get discussion of foam and bubbles.

 

This is implicit in B.S.B. but is not teazed out there and is awaiting the

attention of

commentators. The ultra-traditional commentators who because they know that

everything that is

knowledge is in the Vedas will ignore it because it is not explicit and continue

on their

carousels riding their favourite hobby-horses. -

 

Best Wishes, Michael.

contained in the simplicity of the silence,

how do you hope to comprehend it

when it is complicated by the duality of words ..?"
