Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 1. In the absolute point of view there is no creation, no bondage. But even here scholars will differ and present an alternate view which is also called the absolute (paramarthik) view. praNAms Sri VK prabhuji Hare Krishna I am just wondering what makes them to have the alternative view in paramArtha also!! shankara's parama guru sri gaudapAdAchArya with no ambiguity clearly declares that : na nirOdhO na cha utpattihi, na bhaddhO na cha sAdhakaH, na mumukshu na vai muktaH ityEShA paramArthathA!! Shankara himself justifies this view by saying " whenever there is confusion/conflict between saguNa/Ishwara's Ishitavya/apara brahman and nirguNa/nirAkAra parabrahman we have to draw our siddhAnta only in favour of shruti pratipAdita nirguNa nirAkAra brahman since nirguNatva/nirAkAratva/akatruva of parabrahman is the ultimatum given by shruti-s. Either we have to discard Sri gaudapAdAchArya's *pAramArthic view* as non-advaitic & shankara's verdict is out of context or we have to interpret the plain meaning of these kArikA & shankara's commentary differently to propagate alternative view. Choice is left to the *modern day innovative thinkers* who want to float the *new stream of thoughts* against traditional siddhAnta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
