THE WORLD - REAL OR ILLUSION?

 

 

Arthur Osborne:

Nevertheless, some theoretical teaching is necessary as the basis

for practical work of spiritual training. With the Maharshi this took

the form of non-duality, in complete accordance with the teachings

of the great sage, Shankara. The agreement does not, however,

mean that Bhagavan was, as a philosopher would put it, "influenced by"

Shankara, merely that he recognized Shankara's teaching as a true

exposition of what he had realized and knew by direct knowledge.

 

 

D. Is Bhagavan's teaching the same as Shankara's?

 

B: Bhagavan's teaching is an expression of his own experience and realization.

Others find it that it tallies with Sri Shankara's.
