If Beeja is not destroyed in sleep is it right to say Adhyaropa
Apavada will destroy Projection but Concealment of Brahman is not
destroyed.  There was one mail  on Vikshepa and Avarana Saktis.
Adhyaropa Apavada is a negative method.  By using it how can a
Positive thing like Brahman come out? Neti Neti will negatively remove
Projections. But will it remove Concealment?  The question - is
Adhyaropa Apavada enough for Brahma Jnana? Or some other method also
is required?
