Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 There are many like me here who fully understand Advaitic reasoning and acknowledge `brahma satyam jagat mithyA'. But, not all of us are jIvanmuktAs. The BMI is a serious preoccupation with most of us yet. We tend to take the world as really real despite our advaitic knowledge that it is mithyA. praNAms Hare Krishna This is where exactly the three grades in jnAni-s comes into picture...One is absolute jnAni, another one is *kEvala jnAni mAtra* and the third one is jnAni who has only intellectual understanding of advaita doctrine (like many of us :-))....Here jnAni mAtra & brahma jnAni both are *samyag darshi-s* but ONLY jnAni is *mukta* whereas *jnAni mAtra* is though far more better than intellectual jnAni, he is not a complete *mukta* in *real* sense....there is very popular advaita prakaraNa granTha which propagates this idea. Hari Hari Hari Bol!!! bhaskar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
