Namaste,F,

 

My statement on the differences was only as far as Prarabda goes. In

other words the bodyminds were different as is evidenced obviously.

However yes there can be no difference at the Mukta or Brahman level

for there is no duality or differentiation in Brahman.

Within illusion there is 'no time' so the Prarabda of a Mukta will

serve itself out in the same way as if the body wasn't that of a now

Mukta. Just as it will serve itself out,with us, no matter what we

think of it ourselves..............This extends to what the Mukta,

say does, worships, activities etc etc....This is probably why some

of these actions seem to come from an unrealised

person....ONS...Tony.
