[Advaita-l] Brahman superimposition on material world

[K Kathirasan NCS]

Namaste

Another way to look at superimposition would be:

1. wave covering water &
2. pot covering clay

Dear  Saadhakas,
 
Superimposition  does  not  correspond  to  something  such  as  a  bedsheet
covering  a  cot , as  that  would  limit  Brahman  to  a  size.
 
It  is  easier  to  say  that  Brahman  imagines  Himself  as  the  world ,
etc. It  is  similar  to  how  a  child  at  play  imagines  himself  as  a
prince. A  lot  of  thought  is  required . The  only  pitfall  is that  one
must  not  delve  into  the  nature  of  Maayaa ( as  anti-Advaitins)  do.
Then  this  very  Maayaa  starts  deluding  you!
 
With  Love , 
Rohit  N. Ubhayaker.

Dear Members:

Perhaps my question is too much basic for this forum,
but I am reading a very interesting explanation of
Advaita Vedanta from the Web Site of Katha, written by
D. Krishna Ayyar.
In the Appendix 2, he said that "...there is no world
or mind of the same order of reality as Brahman, the paramnartika satyam;
both the world and the mind are superimpositions on Brahman and are
categorised as vyavaharika satyam." My question is: If Brahman is Atman in
human beins, in which form Brahman is superimposed on, for example, a pot?
Is D. Krishna Ayyar talking about a phisical, material superimposition? Can
we said that Brahman "live" in material things?

Thank you very much for your patience with me...
With love...

María
