MUNDAKOPANISHAD

CHAPTER-3.

SECTION-2.

MANTRAM-3.{ "Foremost  means  of  Self-realisation  seeking  the  Self  alone." }

Discussion-5. "In  order  to  make  it  clear  the  details  are  given  below"  


Meaning  interpreted  by :

1. Word :- Yam - Advaitin interprets -"Which Atma" & Dvaitin  interprets -"Whom,"

2.   "       - Yesa -            "                   - "This  aspirant"   &            "             - "God."


Thus  according  to  the  Advaitin,  "which  Atma  this  aspirant  longs  to  gain,"  and  according  to  Dvaitin,  it  would  mean,  "The  aspirant  whom  the  God  chooses"!!

In  fact,  there  is  no  contradiction  between  the  two  stand-points  taken  by  the  two  Acharya-s.

It  can  confuse  only  the  muddled  intellects  who  are  steeped  in  their  own  prejudices.

To  a  pure  heart,  striving  sincerely  in  the  "LIFE  DIVINE,"  slowly  and  steadily  perfecting  himself / herself,  by  eradicating   the  vulgar  animalism  in himself / herself   ---   to  such  a  one  the  Acharya-s  in  their  different  arguments  are  but  pointing  to  one  and  the  same  TRUTH.
