Since Srila Prabhupada explicitly did not say that "the living entity" in this pervious sentence and "the living entity" in his very next sentence are not the same "the living entity", thus Vijay is not speculator when he claims "It is not the same living entity". The really big speculators never speculate. They get it all from OED. Evidently and scientifically. You know, it is not explicitly said that *any* "living entity" spelled out in that purport is the same, nor that it is not the same one. Just "the living entity". Consistently, Through out the same purport. > So why do you insist only on the use of your meaning, that the > living entity has misused his independence while in the spiritual world? > Why don't you "turn [yourself] off on the spot" with your own postings? > I perhaps haven't been clear enough. I am comfortable with both positions regarding the fall of jiva, since I find the evidence for both. But what makes me to get "turned off" is the fanatic approach of interpreting *any* purport, *any* statement on exclusively one way. This is exactly what you have done here. You are not interested in purport itself. You are only interested how to exercise your skills to brake the words of that purport into "atoms" and then to put the "atoms" back to mean that what you have a priory decided to must mean, and to not mean that what you have a priory decided to must not mean. Sense gratification. That's all. Enjoy yourself. But your skill to gratify yourself seam to not be impressing anybody particularly. - mnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
