Namaste Tony-ji, Without agreeing or disagreeing with you on what constitues 'verbal nondualism' I like your coinage of the word 'verbal non-dualism' because this becomes a familiar involuntary habit with most of us who have heard (*shravana*) a little about advaita , practised (*manana*) less of the same, and tasted (*nididhyasana*) still less of it! This habit is one more VAsanA which we have to get over with! PraNAms to all advaitins. profvk --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
