Dear Sri.Govind Rengarajan,
Indeed, you are right !
The relationship between "form" and "reality" is a very difficult one to
define. The purusha-suktam calls it "tasya-yOnim" and in fact which only
rare "gnyAni-s" or "dhIra-s" truly realise.
One of the greatest features of Vedanta, Sri.Rengarajan, is that it teaches :
"It is not enough to simply know the Truth;
One must learn to live It".
While "philosophizing" may help us "know" Truth we still need a "theology"
by which we can actually learn to "live" it !
The uniqueness of our "siddhAntham" is that it offers us both means !
THis is what I meant by saying in my last post on this thread that all of
us need "two crutches" by whatever name you call them or whatever "form"
you give them.
adiyEn/dAsan,
sudarshan
