Namaste Venkat ji.

Here also, I would like to pin-point the question.
What is the relationship between the "subtle form of existence", say E-2,
required for ignorance, and "paramArtha-sat" of Brahman, say E-1?
1. Are E1 and E2 identical?
2. Are E1 and E2 different and independent?
3. Are E1 and E2 different but E2 is dependent on E1?
--------------------------------------------------------------
In case of 1, there is loss of non-duality. (Ignorance and Brahman both
have same existence)
In case of 2 also, there is clear advaita-hAni. Both ignorance and Brahman
have independent existences and also they are of different nature.
In case of 3, because of E2's dependence on E1, there is no independent
existence of ignorance apart from Brahman. However, E1 being different than
E2 - advaita-hAni can still be alleged.
What is our stand --- there is no existence of ignorance whatsoever. (That
is E2 is null and void)
Or,
Ignorance has E2 which is different from E1 but dependent on E1.
