[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Bhavarupa Ajnana Tamas (Ignorance) - Nrsimha Tapini Upanishad and Gita Bhashya

[Sudhanshu Shekhar]

Continued....

agrahNa, viparIta-grahaNa and samshaya-jnAna are all products of ajnAna.
> And hence neither of the three can be equated to ajnAna. The usage of word
> ajnAna for the three can be very well done as gold-ornament can as well be
> referred by the word gold.
>

It may also be mentioned that agrahaNa, viparIta-grahaNa and samshaya-jnAna
may all be termed as "AvaraNa-kritya".

It should also be noted that AvaraNa per se is not avidyA rather
avidyA-chit-sambandha and is yogyatA of AvaraNa-kritya.

Advaita-siddhi states:

नास्ति न प्रकाशत इति व्यवहार एवाभिज्ञादिसाधारणः; अस्ति प्रकाशत
इत्येतद्व्यवहाराभावो वा आवरणकृत्यम्

आवरणं च #तद्योग्यता #अज्ञानसंबन्धरूपा सुषुप्त्यादिसाधारणी
आब्रह्मज्ञानमवतिष्ठते ।
