Namaste H et al,

 

Ajati Vada is not a pointer to the Self, ultimately, but a pointer

away

from the false concept of Saguna, being the full truth.

 

Ajati Vada and 'Who am I'? say the same thing in the answer...Tony.

Namaste H et al,

 

If you are referring to the present discussion then I would have to

profoundly disagree with you. Within illusion there are degrees, of

indifference, some 'good' some not so 'good'. Ignoring somebody

copying a post, a common practice on the web, cannot be compared to

say ignoring somebody being raped or attacked on the street. Or some

child being assaulted by a pedophile guru, even if that guru is the

most popular in India and a friend of politicians etc etc.

 

In fact to avoid helping somebody being attacked is a violation of

non violence itself and makes one a party to the offence depending on

the state of one's mind. With regard to Ajati Vada is good not to mix

apples and oranges, for as Sankara says --it is real enough whilst

one is in it...........Tony.
