Namaste,

It seems that in 'appearance' there is disagreement between the
view points expressed by Sri Dennis, Sri Sadnanda and others. As
Sadaji correctly pointed out, that we all agree there is no
disagreement when the 'appearance' is replaced by ultimate reality. In
'appearance,' there is 'Maya,' there is 'Jiva' there is a 'world,'
there is 'birth and death' and there is 'choice or the exercise of
free will.' The appearance melts way with our awareness that we are
Brahman the appearance of free will also disappear.

If you disagree with me, that is also in appearance because neither
'agreement' nor 'disagreement' ever exist!

warmest regards,

Ram Chandran
