[Advaita-l] [advaitin] RE: The fate of mind after realization

[H S Chandramouli]

Namaste Sunil Ji,

Reg  <<  *The Sthitaprajna or the Jivanmukta knows this very well  and his
or her manah is not affected by the illusionary Vyavaharika world,i.e., he
or she is in  the manah-shunya state >>,*

When his or her manah is not affected by the *illusionary Vyavaharika * world,
what **exists**  and is experienced as such by him/her  is just
Atman/Brahman and not shunya/void.  That represents sarvAtmabhAva. Atman
being AnandasvarUpa,  why not say   << *he or she is in  the manah-Ananda
 state >>.*

Regards

Chandramouli
