Really speaking…

Ещё один прекрасный отрывок из диссертации «Vadiraja’s Yuktimallika — a Critical Study» by Gururaj K. Nippani, стр. 454:

”Really speaking, it is the God’s Grace which is the ultimate, direct and prime means for the attainment of the release. And to secure the Grace of the Lord, devotion is the only step. The others, namely, sacred hearing, repetition and meditation, are secondary means.

Vadiraja defines devotion as, it is the transcendent, supreme, unshaken and perfect love at the feet of the Lord. It is defined as «भक्तिश्च भगवत् स्नेह: — bhaktiśca bhagavat sneha:». Devotion has two faces, one is the correct understanding (true knowledge) of Lord’s supremacy and the other the highest and true love towards Him.

Vadiraja ridicules the view of the Advaita [mayavada] that the knowledge of identity is the means for liberation. He argues and states that there lies no significance, charm, propriety and also any relation in this view. Because, the prescribed sadhana, as a means of attainment of release, in fact, does not involve and indicate any identity [примечание by V1926: потому что садхана всегда двоична по сути, так как садхана всегда базируется на 2 личностях — Боге и бхакте].

When it is not there in the course of the practice of prescribed sadhana, it as an effect or a goal, cannot be there even after the fulfilment of prescribed sadhana. So, knowledge of identity is not a means for attaining the release”.
