Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I will proclaim in truth the quintessence of the established conclusions of the entire Vedanta.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I will proclaim in truth the quintessence of Truth. No matter what the proclamation, or through who the proclaiming,....... in the very proclaiming, .....Truth is Lost. There is no ego to be destroyed, for no ego was ever created. Nothing can become the Self, for there is no not-Self to become the Self. There being nothing but the Self, .......even proclaiming that there is nothing but the Self, ..........is a hilarity.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Sandeep, I appreciate this expression of "non-creation." In answer to the question, "How is illusion created?" Sages have said since time immemorial that it was never created. When one finds, through knowledge, that the snake was just a rope, where did the snake go? Was the snake ever created?

Sages have said since time immemorial that it was never created. -------- Absolutely. The key question is......this illusion, ........to whom is the illusion, .........an illusion? That entity which concludes thus, .......is it apart from that illusion? And thus conclusions of an illusory hoopla,........can only be more hoopla, is it not? Now the sages were compassionate enough to give a break to the seeker, ........by providing a life-line, a concept,...aka "it was never created". For the truth is that,....... to affirm that "it was never created", is to posit a position separate from "it", It's only then that an affirming is possible,...... either for it's existence or for it's non-existence. Since no such position is possible, or no such position is apart from the illusion, ......is any affirmation or negation,.... anything more than more hoopla? ----------- > > When one finds, through knowledge, that the snake was just a rope, > where did the snake go? Was the snake ever created? ------ Yes. However, with the vanishing snake in the rope, as the primary delusion, .....the apperception may happen, ....not guaranteed,....but may occur,......that the subject cognizing the rope, ........is itself a cognized object. Forget the snake, .....even the rope does not exist without a cognizer of it. And vice versa. As fundamental Science is discovering in the last decade or so. ("The Universe appears to be of the nature of a thought"-Nobel Prize winner-physcist- Bohm) Apperception, while as much a conceptual term as any other term,.. is not a perception. Apperception is the perceiving, without a "perceiver", thereof. As,...there is writing, but no author thereof. --------- > > We are not two, > Richard Richard, who observes, "we are not two"? Thus, is not the concept of non-duality (Advaita), only relevant in the gestalt of duality? .........arises only in the gestalt of duality? I am that I am, i.e. all that there IS,...... ...."not-two", .....does it have any meaning for I? Apperception of Advaita, ...... ......is the end of the relavance of Advaita,......... is it not? Some two cents........ Rub-a-bub-dub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
