namaskarah,

thanks sri amuthan once again for your response. i appreciate it

deeply.

if i may summarize your position (just for clarity):

the question of the status of the world (including fundamental
particles, if any) arises only in vyavahara wherein pramatrtva is
superimposed on the atman and hence arises the trio of pramatr,
prameya & pramana.

i entirely agree with the above. no issues here whatsoever. but does
the story end here?

there must have been good reasons why many of our acarya-s have
considered samkhya to be the closest among the darshana-s to
advaita-vedanta. let me reflect on this point a little more and get
back later if required.

in the meantime, lets see if any of our other list vidvan-s have
anything to say about this.

thanks once again for your patient replies

ramesh

sir, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. i am not trying to

discount sruti pramana. the utility of the sruti is a vast topic in
its own right and is not something i want to get into at the moment.
nevertheless, we must note the following key features of vedanta:

1. it proclaims jivanmukti
2. it holds mukti to be the realization of one's true svarupa

any statement regarding the utility of the sruti pramana must take the
above into account. to put it crudely, the sruti pramana is "valid
because it works".

on avasthatraya, there are certain issues with it that i find

confusing. so all i wanted was to see if the same point could be
explained through some other analysis. after all, the sruti teaches
the same thing through innumerable prakriya-s.

sure, i will

dhanyavadah
