Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Namaste Bhasker ji, Humble praNAms Sri Subbu prabhuji Hare Krishna Subbu prabhuji : First of all, what do you/the Swamiji mean by 'individual intuition'? A sadhaka is an individual and he does sadhana and gets the realization through the 'intuition'. Can it be a 'collective intuition'? Can two or many sadhakas sit together in adhyAtma Yoga and arrive at a 'sArvatrika anubhava'? The Bhashya is full of mention about ' sa avagacchati'= 'He knows', 'sa vijAnAti', sa mukto bhavati, etc. Nowhere it is mentioned that collectively some people get realized together. The Gita and the Upanishads are also clear about this. The Swamiji himself mentions above: '....to one who has attained the vEdAntic intuition.' in singular. bhaskar : First of all prabhuji, the subject mail was intended to show you that my swamiji's views are entirely different from what you have understood from this book...Just to show that I had to type all those relevant portions from book...Atleast now I think you will be in a position to understand that what you have written as my swamiji's thoughts is entirely wrong...that's all.... my purpose is served.... Secondly, with regard to *sArvatrika pUrNAnubhava*, what you have understood as *collective intuitive experiences* of multiple sAdhaka-s is simply rediculous...What is *anubhava* according to shankara ?? what is vaiyuktika anubhava (individual experience) and what is sArvatrika anubhava (universal experience)?? how Atma jnAna can not be proved by individual experiences ?? etc. etc. have all been explained to the best of my ability in my article *nirvikalpa samAdhi in advaita vEdAnta....So, I dont think I have to reply to your assumptions on what constitutes *pUrNAnubhava*.... I shall try to share my understanding on mAndUkya maNtra 7 & shankara bhAshya in due course...till then Hari Hari Hari Bol!!! bhaskar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
