Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Sankara Bhagavatpada is a great piller of the spiritual cultures of the world and his interpretation of Hinduism forms the philosophical background of the religious thought of Hindu wisdom. Adi Sankara's Atmabodha or Self Knowledge is a prakarana text composed to serve the needs of those who have been purified and desirous of kaivalyam or mukti or Liberation. Atma or Atman, generally called as Soul of Self is the deathless,birthless and eternal. It is a pure Spirit and is uneffected by time and space which is unchanging 'Reality' behind the changing body,sense organs, mind and ego. The unchanging 'Reality' in the individual is calleld 'Atman' and the unchanging 'Reality' in the universe is called Brahman. The Atmabodha presents jnana yoga or the enquiry method, leading systematically to Self knowledge. The listeners will find in it all phases of man's progressive thought begining with dualism, passing through the intermediary stage of qualified non-dualism and ending in Absolute Non dualism in which one experiences the total identity of the soul and Godhead beyond which human thinking cannot go till today.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the link. "The listeners will find in it all phases of man's progressive thought begining with dualism, passing through the intermediary stage of qualified non-dualism and ending in Absolute Non dualism in which one experiences the total identity of the soul and Godhead beyond which human thinking cannot go till today." Does this tend to indicate that there may be something beyond brahman that one can possibly think of in the future?
