[Advaita-l] DSV /SDV in Shri Dakshinamurthy Stotram

Namaste.

In simple words, that framework of Advaita VedAnta wherein waking is held
to be identical to dream, without any if and but, is called DSV.

And where waking is differentiated from dream, is called SDV.

Both DSV and SDV fall within the purview of vivartavAda. However, DSV
denies fundamental assumptions of SDV.

For e.g., pratikarma-vyavasthA, a pivotal concept of SDV, is not accepted
in DSV. Similarly, jIvanmukti is considered as merely arthavAda in DSV and
prArabdha is not admitted. Likewise, sequential creation through
panchIkaraNa and trivritkaraNa is unacceptable in DSV.

And these are obvious also once we accept that dream is identical to waking.


Regards.
Sudhanshu Shekhar.
