Namaste Sastri-ji, Bhaskar-ji, Murthy-ji,

 

Shankara could use both of these analogies because being such they could

not be in conflict with each other. Within a certain area of discussion

one analogy is more effective than the other. When viewed from the point

of view of self-consciousness the 'reflection' analogy is more telling

but when we want to give the idea of a jiva that is bounded the

'limitation' analogy has a better fit.

 

Best Wishes,

Michael

Dear Guest:

 

I've always found the pratibimba theory to be more pragmatic and more easily integrated into ones spiritual paths.

Do you happen to know why Shankara, and later apologists, dismissed pratibimba in favour of avaccheda? And, could you explain avaccheda in detail as I am not sure I have fully comprehended it.

 

Namaste,

Anr
