[Advaita-l] Request for clarification

[Jayaram Subramanian]

Dear sir,
           Following are 2 statements  where a physical example is given and a spiritual analogy is drawn.            
 
           1) A jar is essentially clay; but after the clay is fashioned in a particular way, it is called jar. Similarly, the universe in non-dual/Brahman, though the name and form create diversity. 
           
           2) A jar occupies space and when it breaks, the inner space merges with the outer space. Similarly, as life ends, soul joins Brahman.
 
           Sir, I request you to throw more light on the above statements for better clarity.
 
           Thank you.
 
Yours sincerely,
N S Jayaram
