[Advaita-l] Paul Hacker on Avidya in Brahma Sutras

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

The question of Mula Avidya is discussed extensively in traditional circles
also. It is a misconception to think Mula Avidya as a really existing thing
giving rise to all Avidyas. No disciple of Sankara has said it really
exists. For explaining the world and vyavahara this Avidya is used.
