Namaste VL-ji.

 

What Ramakrishna is perhaps explaining here is that after the

Nirguna experience or nirvikalpa, one returns to the illusion or

Saguna's projections. In other words this could be a description of

a samadhi rather than a Moksha.

 

What I am averring to is that at the dissolution of the ego or

Moksha the body/mind, without the personal ego, has some prarabda to

finish.

 

When Sankara says one gets moksha in this very body he is referring

to this phenomenan. The remaing body/mind is actually motivated by

the prarabda and vijnanamayakosa, ie the Universal mind of Sakti, as

the kosas have been mostly purified except for the remaining karmas.

 

This is all in illusion of course-----NirGuna was never

modified....ONS...Tony.
