Big Doubt - kindly help, Sri Shankararamanji

[Guest guest]

Dear Sir,

You have mentioned:

.>>>>Is it not that the Self is neither existence nor non-existence, neither

both, nor even the negation of both.<<<<

For my benefit, I would be grateful if you could kindly explain the above

statement because all along we have been told that only Self *exists* or Self

Shines and everything else shines after the Self.

I am sorry to trouble you.

With respectful regards

Mani

Dear Sir,

What I have quoted is not my fanciful imagination,

but constitutes the bedrock of advaita, my own unformulated intuition as well

corresponding with this. However, I shall quote from the mandukaya, even

baghavatgita to substantiate this position. The weather in Chennai is very

horrible. Hence, let me revert to the site in the eventing giving an explanatory

account of my position. What I have attempted to convey is that the true Being

is beyond all conceptualizations which take only the above four categories. The

knowledge derived from these categories is termed as pasa-jnana by Tirumular.

The knowledge of the mere void is termed as pasu-jnana. Only the Pati-jnana

which transcends all the two categories is the knowledge of the self. Please go

through the text AMRITANUBHAV of JNANESWAR. Even if I were to succeed in

explaining this, it would still be a conceptualization. My approach is only by

way of pointing out that one should abandon all seeking,

the seeking being a detour from the present, the now, which contains all time,

which is the only pointer towards truth. I am not being troubled, except that my

approach is not one of repeating the scriptures, which even though good in the

beginning, is fit to be eschewed at some point of time, as it were, as the word

is not the thing.

 

with regards

Sankarraman
