An amazingly composed article Kunal. So much depth put across with such beautiful simplicity that makes it so easy to understand. Can't wait for the next one!!
Thank you for the insightful article. Can you tell me what text this passage is from? "Aatyantika dukkha nivritti, Paramaananda praptischa" Much Gratitude!
The verse is commonly shared in the oral tradition of Advaita Vedanta, and this is how I heard it, as I was learning the Vedantasara.
However, while the phrase is likely older, it can be found in a commentary by Jayatirtha on Madhvacharya’s Vishnu Tattva Nirnaya. The commentary is known as the Vishnu Tattva Nirnaya Tika.
This is somewhat surprising, since the phrase is often taught in the context of non-dual (aka Advaita) Vedanta, where Madhvacharya was a staunch dualist.
