1412: The Snake & the Rope Revisited

Chandogya Upanisad tells that what we meditate on we become / Sarva khalvidam brahma - what does it mean, that everything is brahman? / Bhagavad-gita 14.27 - Krishna is the basis of brahman / Bhagavad-gita 10.12 - Krishna is the Supreme Brahman /  all creation is made possible by brahman's potential power / Brahman manifests as Krishna's multifarious energies: parasya saktir vividaiva sruyate (Svetasvatara Upanishad 6.8) / 4 ways that Sankara's Snake-rope metaphor fails - superimposition is impossible without – Similarities in attributes, Independent reality to both things, Prior experience of what is being superimposed, an outside entity coordinating the common superimpositions / the advaitin bliss is merely the neutral stage of relief from suffering / the opposite of being One Million Dollars in debt is not being free of debt, it's owning one million dollars / Don't throw Sweet Baby Krishna out with the bathwater *************************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
