Namaste Bji,

 

I try not to get too caught up in literal texts, and I try to think

for myself. Sometimes not so well.

 

Becoming a Mukta or Jnani the Ego is gone, but the body/mind still

has to play out the prarabda karma. This doesn't contradict Sankara,

as the body is just that, not an ego anymore. This is supported by

the statements of sages too much in number to quote here.

 

My last statement is for the newcomer James?, who doesn't seem to

have really read the posts.

The yes and no of creation existing after Moksha is a definate no!

It is even gone in deep sleep. The creation only exists for the

body/mind of the erstwhile ego, as the Mukta has moved on so to

speak. I say no for this in itself is an illusion that didn't

happen. I know people say the creation turns into an appearance of

the Self on realisation. However this it also untimately untrue.

 

There is only Nir Guna Brahman, and that was never modified by

anything appearance or anything.IMHO---It never

happened.....ONS..Tony.
