Namaste Venkat ji and Sudhanshu ji

AvidyA is svaparanirvAhikA like the category called "bheda".


The idea of AtmAshraya doSha being present in most logical systems and not
only in traditional nyAya, can we give any other laukika example(s) for
sva-para-nirvAhikA (to say avidyA idea is not subject to AtmAshraya-doSha).
I mean other examples easier to relate to without entities like "bheda" ;
the SS idea of bheda differentiating both itself from others (sva) as well
as others (bheda is not a pot) from each other (para - like pot from cloth).

Thank you.
Om
Raghav
