Also, I wonder whether the interpretation by SSSS ji is his own imagined interpretation, swa-kalpanA-prasUta, or did he receive it from his guru.
* How does it matter to the ‘advanced jnAni’ like you when you are weighing your logic more against fanatic saMpradAya (dependency on Acharya, sampradaya, Ishwaraanugraha, guru kAruNya etc. are fanaticism for you..is it not?? )
I mean how can he be sampradAya-vit if he has not received this knowledge through sampradAya. Did he reject his guru? If not, then why is his guru not credited for his imaginations?
Ø What he found in shankara’s PTB is not imagination what he found in vyAkhyAna-s is unwarranted imaginations of PSA.
After Sureshwaracharya (as per SSSS ji), suddenly SSSS ji got this knowledge. How? Did he imagine it, did he receive it from his guru?
Ø It is something called Ishwaraanugraha and guru kAruNya…which is something out of your books, so mundane doubts like above obviously arises in logically inclined mind😊
When he made a claim that none since Sureshwaracharya understood VedAnta, he has to explain his source of knowledge as well. Was it a revelation from God like some other persons who established some fanatic religions?
Ø He is an incarnation of Sri shankara bhagavatpAda, so bhagavatpAda himself after seeing twists and turns of his PTB, wanted to come back and said what exactly he meant in PTB.
If so, then obviously discussion is not possible because there is a closed-mind there religiously following the dictum of authority.
* It is our honest opinion that instead of following the dry logic of some, it is always better to follow someone who honestly respect and adhered the dictum of shAstra, sampradaya, mUlabhAshyakAra and more importantly advocated the theistic approach to Advaita’s jnAna mArga.
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
