It went over my head at the time but on further reflection, and study, I came to accept Ramana's words as the truth of Ajativada, 'nothing really happened'. He does say it is easier to accept Drishti-srishti vada if his questioners found the idea of Ajativada impossible to assimilate. ie simultaneous creation with the arisal of perception of it. He encouraged his followers to use it as a working hypothesis. So you can blame Ramana for my belief system hahahhaah. Sankara's Parama guru Gaudapada was an exponent of the same theory....ONS..Tony. p.s. As is evidenced by Jody and others on this site, Ramana was right about some people not being able to assimilate the idea of Ajativada.

Some people worship ASS as in your post; to them it would be not that effective..........Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
