[Advaita-l] Kutchu and his glasses - realising Brahman

[sriram]

Dear members
It is all due to ajnanam which is aanadhi.To remove this ajnanam sadhana is 
prescribed.all of us are governed by emotions until budhdhi 
intervenes.Budhdhi develops to jnanam by sadhana.Jnanam leads to 
liberation.R.Krishnamoorthy.
