Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 praNAms Hare Krishna Except my extempore ramblings, I have not seen any reply from our beloved prabhuji-s to the below mail ...I think Sri Srinivasa Murthy prabhuji's questions need a special consideration & to be answered...He wanted to know whether it is possible to get our svarUpa jnAna or realization of Atma jnAna by merely doing the *manana* on the avasthA traya prakriya ( he calls it tri basic view of life) outside the frame of shAstra-s..In short, how can an outsider, who does not have any belief in shAstra & traditions but wanted to know the real nature of his self would get the knowledge of the same... Being a follower of vaidika dharma, I donot want to see this knowledge outside the scope of our shAstra-s...But at the same time I am curious to know whether this Atma jnAna is religion restricted!!?? how can an alien to our shAstra-s would get this svarUpa jnAna ...if at all he wanted to know this truth & approach us for the guidance, is it appropriate on our part to say first, you have to take shelter under Hindu dharma & follow the injuctions of our shAstra-s?? or is it possible to teach him the methodology of avasthAtraya prakriya (examination of three states) with impartial logic but without the aid of shAstra-s and AchAryOpadeSa?? I think this is what Sri Srinivasa Murthy prabhuji is trying to find out...Sri Murthy prabhuji kindly correct me if your intention is something else.

Dear learned members, A vedantic friend of mine asked me the following questions: [a-1] : The states of waking, dream and deepsleep, are these states that are events that occur in time? [a-2] Do these events occur in space ? [a-3] Do these events occur in the same time/space series? [a-4] I appropriate these events to myself. Then who is that 'I' that is common to all these states ? [a-5] Is it possible to get answers to these questions from LIFE only without referring to any scriptures ? I request the members to throw light on these questions. With warm and respectful regards, Sreenivasa Murthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
