[Advaita-l] BhAmAti vs VivAraNa

[sreenivasa murthy]

 Dear Sri Subramanian,
  You write :         "Meaning: By whatever means the knowledge of the inner 
          Self arises in seekers, that construct itself is appropriate here; 
          it is not absolutelyunique. -Sri Sureshwara Acharya)"
   Sri Shankara, the Guru of Sri Sureshwara, writes in his commentary 
   to mantra 2-4 of Kena Upanishad : " nAnyat dvAram antarAtmanO 
   vijnAnAya | ataH pratyaya pratyagAtmatayA viditaM brahma yadA 
   tadA tat mataM tatsamyagdarSanam ityarthaH ||"
So, according to Sri Shankara, to realize /cognize antarAtmA / Inner Self 
there is only one way and this way alone is THE UNIQUE WAY.If any other way other than this is followed 
it will not culminate in samyakdarSana.
Has Sri Sureshwara by making the above quoted statement gone 
against the teaching of his Guru? Please clarify.
With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy

 Very nicely responded by you, Sri Praveen ji, which brings to my mind these
extremely famous and meaningful words of Sureshwaracharya:

Sureswara Acharya pointed out in the Brhadaranyaka Vartika that ‘no one
size, as the saying goes, fits all’ towards that end. He writes,

यया यया भवेत्पुंसां व्युत्पत्तिः प्रत्यगात्मनि ।
सा सैव प्रक्रियेह स्यात् साध्वी सा चानवस्थिता ॥

(Meaning: By whatever means the knowledge of the inner Self arises in
seekers, that construct itself is appropriate here; it is not absolutely
unique.)
regards
subbu
