With ref. to your post #37622:

You have searched hither and yon, high up and low down and brought us more

varieties than Heinz yet the mystery remains: what do you think yourself?

 

Best Wishes,

Michael dearest :

 

To me the whole Universe is a mystery what to speak of a word

like 'bAdhA' ?

 

do you seriously believe that an Entire philosophy depends on

understanding a single word ?

 

If you want to understand a timeless philosophy like Advaita , you

need a 'Guru' not a dictionary or a thesarus or even knowledge of

Samskritam! If an Englishman like Ken knight ji could master the

finer nuances of the Saskrit language and understand the 'vedas' ,

there is still 'hope ' for all of us .

 

Anyway , since my post , i have also posted Subbuji's views on the

subject and bhaskar prabhuji has also added hs own views

on 'bAdhA' !

 

in Facyt , a colleague of mine argued with ne yesterday that there

is no such word as 'sublate ' in the English language . She argued

with me saying i was mistaking 'sublimate' for 'sublate 'Then when i

showed the word 'sublate' in the dictionary - she saw the meaning

of the word

 

sub¡¤late¡¤ (s & #601;b l¨¡t¡ä)

 

transitive verb

 

Logic to deny, contradict, or negate

 

 

and then : SUBLIME 1 b archaic : to improve or refine as if by

subliming

or to divert the expression of (an instinctual desire or impulse)

from its unacceptable form to one that is considered more socially

or culturally acceptable

 

Then , my friend was embarassed ! i told her then THAT the human

tendency is always contradict' something they are unfamiliar with!

she smiled! no doubt , my frienD's ego was 'sublimated' !

 

ANYWAY , THE 'Language of Truth is simple '

 

why fret and fume ober a word like 'bAdhA' ?

 

LOVE AND REGARDS

Hi Michael,

 

I don't know - why do some people find it puzzling? After all, at the level

of vyavahAra, when name and form are mistaken for reality and self-ignorance

is generally the case, why should it be at all surprising that confusion

reigns? Such clarifications, discussions and disputations about meanings

etc. are surely inevitable? They do not alter the reality one iota. And they

are often necessary in order to dispel that self-ignorance.

 

Best wishes,

Dennis

Namaste to all,

 

Ah, if it only were the case that the ostensible definitions of words were

sufficient for an understanding of what their purport was in sentences

then the holding of many views would be abolished and each seeker would be

given an authorised dictionary as a guide to knowledge. Alas it is not

so; venerable and sincere Sanskritists dispute mightily about the meaning

of expressions and even within the sacred grove of Advaita dissent

occurs. Why do some find this puzzling and even a scandal?

 

Best Wishes,

Michael.

Why do some find this puzzling and even a scandal?

 

It's neither puzzling nor scandal...it happens in

every area of life where there is more than one

possible opinion. And where does THAT condition NOT

exist?? If you discover such and area, please let me

know!! This condition just tells me that there are no

ultimate truths that can be talked about. Ultimate

truth can only be subjective and not applicable to

anyone else nor to " the world " . One man's mythology is

another man's religion...
