[Advaita-l] Ghata Bhashya 1 - MUST SEE- superb videos on Sankara Bhashya

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

We cannot help anybody not understanding his own Guru. If you agree Pot is
depending on Clay for its reality but Clay not depending on Pot for its
reality it is exactly same as Pot is not real. Because in our system
Advaita there are not two realities dependent and Independent like Dvaitis.
We say there is only one Independent reality. IF something is depending on
it that something is False. It cannot be real. Therefore Pot is False and
Clay is real. The Upanishad statement is also saying same thing.
