The Brahma Sutras by Badarayana (BS). Everyone has
it. It's boring and stupid. It also has lots of assumptions that it wants
you to take for granted like the soul coming from the moon and dripping into a
plant and then the plant being eaten and that being how a soul enters the
mother. Yeah, maybe for a cow. You want me to refute this?
Mooo.
Rather than BS I'm rather fond of the story about
the chef and the abbot where one day the abbot of the monestary dies and a new
one is needed so everyone gathers together and they asked who is the wisest
here? Apparently only the chef had people's respects as being wise so two
other monks from neighboring monestaries came to argue about wisdom. So the
question to answer was what is another name for a vase? So the two monks
started arguing about the name of the vase, but neither one could find another
word for it, so they called the chef in and asked him do you know another name
for a vase? And the chef picked the vase up and dropped it.

So we should be able to
give Tom the actual Sanskrit text or recorded
recitation of Badarayana's
sutras and by him place his awareness on
it, he will embody this vidya
("cognize" the text from it's source).
Then he can give a commentary which
refutes their darshana of Unity
against the Samkhya (CC) darshana and the
Bhagavata/Panchavrata View
(GC) just as Badarayana did and Shankara
comments on (i.e. Adhyaya 2).
And we can hear his explanation of
Superimposition, Adhyasa, since
that is what Badarayana begins
with.
Would there be any other "manifestations" of abilites-- I think
that
you mentioned placing hand through physical objects, etc. in a prior
post.
And then the same process for the others who "understand" / live
Brahaman.
How about it? Who has the text? Are you up for it
Tom?
