Descarte's error and feelings etc.

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

I find this book interesting comment on the error Descarte made in

assuming that the mind worked in a certain way.

It seem patently obvious to me, being a 'believer' in the complete

Ajativada, that much Advaita talked of isn't A-Dvaita at all. I do not

say this to offend anyone, but obviously when people are devotees of

certain gurus and Ishtadevatas, emotion comes into it in a big way.

People have feelings that effect rationale, feelings being 'emotional

noise' anyway.

 

I'm not well versed in the language of the philosophies, and this may

be an advantage to me, for I tend to go bluntly to the point. I don't

need to know the molecular structure of water to step out of the pool

of ignorance!...............Tony.
