Re. Object and Consciousness of the Object

[Guest guest]

Michael, Srinivas and others - PraNAms.

 

Here is my position.

 

Yes I say that on regular basis since that is the correct advaitic stand. If

object can

exist on its own then we run it dvaita not advaita.

 

Only self-conscious entity is the self-existent entity as per advaita Vedanta.

All others

depend on the existence of the self-conscious entity for their existence - this

is what

anvaya vyatireka logic that is applied through out advaita Vedanta.

 

I am the only one that is the self-conscious and self-existent entity. Mithyaa

is anya

adheena satvatvam or anya adhiina prakaashatvam, whose existence and their

knowledge of

existence depends on conscious entity that I am. Unless I establish that the

object is

- its existence and knowledge of its existence cannot be established

independent. Does

it exist without my establishing its existence - it becomes anirvacaniiyam only.

It is

not non existent but its existence cannot be established - hence it remains as

indeterminate problem.

 

Of course dvaitins do not agree, it is their problem. Mithyaa is anirvachaniiya

is sat

asat vilakshaNam -which is same as anirvacaniiyam and all objects are mithyaa

by

definition. Whole of chand. Up sixth chapter - eka vijnaanena sarva vijnaanam

and

Mandukya emphasis is only - that sat eve idem agra asiit and that sat is - tat

tvam asi.

everything else is vaachaarambhanam vikaaro naamadheyam. That vak comes from a

conscious

entity not inert entity.

 

This is stated beautifully in Advaita Makaranda, but I will stop here.

 

Hari Om!

Sadananda
